Making of a german uniform
Hay all as we all know real german ww2 uniforms are very pricey and repros clime in cost as well but I thought about modding a east german uniform to a ww2 german uniform.
Not to worried about being spot on but just for something fun to play airsoft in/ stuff like that.
LMK what you all think.
these are what I was thinking about starting with.

East german tunics dont even come close to WW2 german tunics, you would be better off getting a chinese repro off ebay for $90.00 or go to www.atthefront.com for good repros. I got my falshirmjager tunic and pants as a set from them for $250.00 and it is very good qaulity.

Well found one in a surplus store and was able to hold it next to the real deal and boy was it close just a bit off.
I am going to buy the markings I need so the current SS collar tabs are temp.
I painted the buttons and will finish weathering them later.

Ok I made a infantry shoulder board.
This is the only piece of insignia i am going to make (the shoulder boards) the rest I will buy from at the front military (arm eagle and SS tabs)
LMK what ya think the last pic shows how it looks when a button is in it.
