Looks fantastic! Especially the beaten up look of your uniform! I'd bang up the bottom of your Gasmask canister a bit and get a haircut for an event and you'll be good to go!

Looks great! I like the coconut canteen, is it original?
I think I saw you on another forum as a late war soldier. Maybe the pzgd.net forum.

Canteen and Kar98k are both mine. The Coconut canteen is a postwar Flasche, with reproduction webbing from Ostfront- does the job and looks right, save for the markers mark on the back..

Do the snozzberries taste like snozzberries? I was wondering the same thing! ;D The impression is very well done. The only suggestion is to find a better setting to take the pictures next time. That wallpaper is way too distracting (and it just makes the pictures look kinda silly IMO). Again the impression itself looks great, it's the presentation that could be a little better. Well done.

Very nicely done. Great average Josef look, and nice touch with the socks instead of the gamaschen. Something I'd like to see done more especially with these late war impressions.
Perfect amount of wear, look like a fairly new Landser, but have been out enough as a replacement to start taking the neu off the edges. Even you hair is fine with the having been out look. But yeah many S&A's may not agree.
And you know what? My first thought on the the choice of background was the interior of some flat near the suburbs of Cologne perhaps helping to set up an MG position or some type of ambush. Did not bother me in one bit and taken in context with your impression's story actually works.
Sehr Gute Grenadier Berthold Schwabe!

It reminded me of wall treatments, before wall paper or if wall paper was considered low class by the owner. His unit is holed up in a ritzy house, with a couple of panzerfaust's, trying to ambush an Allied tank.
It is distracting if your just looking at the uniform.

It is distracting if your just looking at the uniform. Martin Correct Martin. This is what I was referring to concerning the setting of the pictures. If the intent of these photos was something other then showing us his impression then I stand corrected. Bill |

Outstanding impression. Your hair is just fine and I wouldn't worry a thing about it

Thank you all very much for your comments. I figured that the background would be appropriate, taking the city-setting into account. I also was not stressing about a hair cut because sometimes I feel fresh haircuts are over-exaggerated by reenactors. Guys shouldn't be too shaggy in my opinion but guys also didn't get haircuts every day - certainly not during the defense of the Reich in March of 1945. The haircut is a tapered mens' haircut (just like period cuts) from some weeks prior. In the end it really boils down to the scenario. Here is something else that my friend Don Quixote and I collaborated: ww2reenactors.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=infantry3&action=display&thread=33545 |

I like the wall paper background. Looks period... as a matter of fact if you could work your way to a window, use sandbags on the window sill, or gingerly turn over some of Mom's furniture, you could take a photo as if you are set up in an upstairs sniper's nest.
