    well ? were can you buy good but at a price Waffen SS Gear ?

    I got my wermacht uniform from Epic Militaria, but Soldier of Fortune also have a great selection at reasonable prices. Ebay is also your friend.

    Sorry don't have time to look up the links right now.

    Not interested in joining a team, but I am interested in a proper WWII themed reinacment/skirmish at some point, preferably after the Stg 44 and Sten et all reach the stores here so people have more options and it's not just a Thompson Vs MP40 battle.

    BTW Major Zero, the Kar 98 is useless in a skirmish, not bad as a wall hanger but it couldn't hit the back of a barn at any distance.

    there seems to be a lot of fuss regards the axis ww2 stuff, a compromise perhaps would be to wear the camo but not the insignia because lets face it the waffen ss uniforms with the camo patterns are quite good, so good varients are still used today by several nations!

    And some of the insignias have the potential to be so offensive they will not be permitted here..................

    Yea go plain (No insignia at all) Its not needed in a game of airsoft, if you are a re-enactor then go for it just take em of before you skirmish.

    Lets not kill it before it grows!
    German,
    Webbing, helmet, and some P-dot camo or splinter and ya laughing.
    US.
    Webbing, helmet, and some greens, and you are in.

    Can all be done for cheep, around 150-200 should get you the best of the basics.

    And lets not start crap about the insignia thing, its not needed.
    Ill get some picks put up when I get my gear :)

    i agree,,,,,, i think in the airsoft world people get too A**L about markings, on my re-enactment gear i put the markings on gut my airsoft stuff the closest thing i have to markings is an ireland flag on one of my sets of camo's!!!! the inportant thing is not to get caught up with what unit your portraying or not portraying,,,,,,,,,,airsoft is supposed to be fun!!

    I'd be very interested in this alright.

    A german paratrooper loadout was on the cards. As was regular infantry, problem for me was alot of surplus salesmen and shops had alot of kit with insignia : / And some of the pricing is rather high but then again i spent loads on my nam kit.

    If I was choosing weaponry id have to go with a kar98k, and an mp40.

    I'll watch this with interest as perhaps a winter project to assemble for the following year if it takes off. As of now i invested in that nam stuff that im wearing with my multicam to justify the use.

    Only noticed this thread now! i'd be well up for this! I started a 101st airborne loadout a few years back so could finish that, but i'm really interested in going for a german sniper look. Get a tanaka kar98 (since the Dboys one is a bit pants), put a scope on it and then try and find a decent image of a german sniper and copy his loadout as best i could! All i have to do now is officialy change the name on my birth cert to Konings :D

    Quite cheap as its not WW2 authentic. I am going for a WW2 look not an exact replica.

    I got it from these lads. http://www.asmc.de/suche/splinter.html

    I couldnt honestly give you a accurate figure, most of the stuff except the helmet and tunic were bought of www.soldieroffortune.co.uk,
    The helmet and tunic were bought at a surplus store on lower cecil street in limerick city, I bought the insignia for the helmet(transfers) off soldier of fortune

    Its 15 GBP flat rate for anything over 30 GBP in price or up to 30kg in weight,
    It takes 2-3 days to process(there quite busy), and then usually 2-3 days to arrive, they dont take money off your card until the goods actually ship
