Oh, Hellz Yeah...

How many photos do you want?

... Oh, but Soviet is far less expensive. And you can use all that extra cash to finance your Star Wars costuming...

I am very jealous of you WWII guys! I've ALWAYS wanted to try my hand at it...currently just a blue bellie of Illinois' own 36th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment. I would GREATLY appreciate any hookups on good units to start with WWII or WWI. And possibly a bit cheaper to run WWII than sit around in all this blue wool all day (then again I am on a student budget >.<)

Yeah, I have done Civil War reenacting for almost 25 years now --

Image

...but there is a different speed and appeal to WWII. I think it's called "petrol." And you don't even have to have a uniform to have fun --

Image

Here's a shot of my daughter aboard a vintage train at one event --

Image

And one more photo because I literally have thousands of them ....
