Repros
There is another aspect to creating really good uniform copies: You can hire them out! My Napoleon's Garde Chasseurs Colonel uniform appeared in a History Channel production and the Andrew Jackson uniform can be seen in the Natilonal Park Service film at the Battle of New Orleans...
A Bridge Too Far...
Last year two other couples, my wife and I made an earnest attempt to learn it, over several months, with the help of one of our group's parents who were kind and very encouraging. Alas, their daughter was the one who enjoyed it least and we stopped.
It seems like...
No uh, crap, Sherlock
For this viewer, Jeremy Brett IS (sadly, 'was' but lives on in film) Sherlock Holmes. That said, I enjoyed the Robert Downey Jr./Jude Law Adventures very much and hope they will continue to churn these out. Many of us have enough love for the subject to embrace many...
Richard J. Evans' book, 'The Coming of the Third Reich' and Charles Bracelen Flood's "Hitler: The Path to Power" both essay how these reparations caused the German economy to tank, justified the French occupation of the Ruhr and therefore helped strangle the Weimar Republic in its cradle. These...
A rose is a rose
NO ONE in our headquarters office wears cologne and survives the water cooler assassination. There are only a few brave enough to and they are ridiculed. I honestly don't know why-it's not overpowering but just not accepted.
Wearing cologne was a perfectly normal thing to...
Oktoberfest Zinzinnati
Cincinnati Ohio has what is described as the largest Octoberfest celebration outside of Munich, a 'sister city'. Beginning Friday evening, on the second weekend in September, the main streets are blocked off, and booths are set up featuring draft brews, available in tin...
Gun Notes
Just an observation of how frequently versions of these two rifles are owned by enthusiasts, including myself (Mine: AR15/M16A1 'parts gun' -NODAK spud receiver to replicate the 2nd model 'Nam, and the ugly Rumanian AK with replacement stock set).
Join the Army and See the World..of the Meuse-Argonne
Wonderful when paper things survive. Hard to believe anyone would join because of a poster, isn't it?
It can be expensive and frustrating to try to find a mannequin or a mask or head bust to resemble a particular subject. Indiana Jones, for example. There is a source for high quality foam latex masks that may help, at a reasonable cost.

Yes, indeed! Prien, You bring up a good point. The civilian attire is very much desirable and there are some very fine vendors.

Re Biffy Dunderdale....
I dunno. Sounds like a P G Wodehouse name-one of Bertie Wooster's friends at the Drones?
He would certainly have a chip on his shoulder, disliking the parents who gave him the last name and the childhood bullies who gave him the first.

DANGER!
Here's a real friendship killer. When my friends wax on and on about Animal House and how great John Belushi was, I just have to bite my tongue. He died way too young (as did Phil Hartman) but come on, he wiggled his eyebrows. That's about it. This opinion has cast permanent palls on...
Caddysuck
There is a support group for the five of us in the Greater Cincinnati area who publicly admit that we don't like 'Caddyshack'. I love Bill Murray and the late Rodney Dangerfield (Are you old enough to remember his Ed Sullivan and Tonight Show routines?) but this movie is just tedious...
