WWII US War Correspondent Collection / Impression
Sorry, it's been a while since I've been here. Yeah, I live between Seattle and Portland. Myself and a local camera collector are looking to set up a massive correspondent display for the MVPA convention in 2013... -
How To Build A Newsroom Time Machine
I worked for a newspaper in the late 80s-early 90s in composing and hated every second of it. The shift was either 2PM-11PM or 4PM-1AM. It was all computers back then but we pasted up the pages with huge galleys of type, a hot wax machine and large sheets that were slightly larger than the...- p51

Driving golden era cars in the modern era
The car show yesterday went well. I decided to forego the back roads as it was early in the morning and had no problems. Drove right to the casino after warming up the Jeep (didn't even have to dump fuel into the carb to get it kicked off). She ran as normal, lots of people admired her and many...- p51

WWII US War Correspondent Collection / Impression
I really need to take some photos of my most recent acquisitions over the last year or so. Here are a few more recent things I’ve gotten my hands on and displays I’ve been part of. Olympia Flight Museum show, paired with a pal with an amazing camera collection: Stuff... -
war correspondant
Yes, that’s me. Like many people here, I’m several different forums. I’m “P51” on all of them where someone else hadn’t grabbed that login first. I have a thread with some photos of my collection there: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16734 Also, I have a portion of my... -
war correspondant
Aw shucks. Yeah, I have what would be consdered by some as a good collection: I'm also probably the only fully accredited war correspondent in the hobby today as I'm a staff writer/cartoonist for WW2 re-enacting magazine. At this time, I'm compiling info for what I know will be the book on... -
Driving golden era cars in the modern era
I signed up for two local car shows in August as there aren’t many re-enactment events in that month here (which is odd because it’s normally the driest time of year in the normally rainy Pacific Northwest). One is a local hot rod show that is about 5 miles from my front door, at a casino. Most...- p51

Driving golden era cars in the modern era
I got my 1944 Willys MB Jeep over to a local airshow display recently, it’s the nearest Jeep in the photo (other than the hood in the foreground): Last weekend I decided to take it out for a spin as I drove it next to none over the winter. I was just going to make a short loop around the...- p51

Time Warp Towns
When i drove from Sacramento to Jamestown, CA to see the RR roundhouse there, I passed through several of these types of towns. You only had to remove a few signs and new cars and it'd look like the 30s-50s easily. I also remember several small towns along I-55 between Bloomington, Illinois and...- p51

A week of trains, the Tacoma NRHS convention, 2011...
I have uploaded two videos of the ferry run of 4449 southbound from the final day. I didn't ride this trip because I'd already ridden 4449 twice by then and I had to deal with something else later that day I didn't wanna miss. My timing was amazing as I got to each location with just enough time...- p51

This shows you what the weather was mostly like as well as where it was taken: I rode a dome car up Stampede Pass behind 4449 two days later: My digs: Final installment below!- p51

A week of trains, the Tacoma NRHS convention, 2011...
The National Railway Historical Society's national covention is in Tacoma this year, last month. I started out by chasing one steam trip and rode the following day behind 1941 Lima locomotive, former Southern Pacific 4449. I scored a seat in the observation car from Vancouver, WA to Tacoma...- p51

Members in Uniforms Part 2
That was showing the timeframe between then and now, the 20th anniversary. Funny, dozens of people saw this sign, and nobody had the same conclusion you did, but after reading your post, I must admit I wonder why nobody else had the same thought you had! -
Members in Uniforms Part 2
Nice impression, people forget how lax the standards were for pig boat crews. I assume you were portraying someone specific? I hope you didn’t get too much grief over wearing the knight’s cross. I’ve seen people almost get into fistfights over people wearing that at re-enactments. People get... -
What do you collect other than Hats
I collect all kinds of stuff and have way too many interests. Primarily I collect US WW2 stuff, focusing on ordnance and weapons: I have a VERY extensive collection of items associated with WW2 cartoonist Bill Mauldin, including a first edition of every book he ever wrote, along with a...- p51

Women Reenactors?
Why? :confused: I get the “silly Japanese” thing and agree that has no place here, but why only allow specific impressions? I’ve seen some very well-done female German impressions of various types. I don’t go a German impression and never will, but not from any PC nonsense. I’d think people who... -
WWII Reenacting Discussion Thread
As nice as it’d be, thin teenagers can’t afford to be in the hobby to have the correct stuff. Sure, there are people like that in the hobby today, but how many 20-somethings do you know who can afford a halftrack or a working machine gun? The hobby will always be dominated by people who are...
