How do you afford this stuff!? You are my age! haha

Very nice collection sir. It's good to see that you have succeeded in recovering from the loss of your collection.

A big "hell yes!" to that... If I had all of the money that I spent of my girlfriend, including taking her out, gifts, flowers, food, movie tickets, etc. I would have enough money for 5 or 6 German helmets.

OLD MANNEQIN GETS NEW LIFE

I had this old mannequin (7-8 year old boy size) that I got for free.. I had a small sized infantry tunic laying around and decided to try and make it fit on this little thing.. So I started to add newspaper and taping it in place.. Then I took some layers of fabric and dressed the thing (not shown in the photos)..

Tips:
- Make sure that you fill out the shoulders so that you don't ruin your tunic..
- Add small layers of newspaper at a time and gradually make the mannequin bigger.
- Remember to use fabric to cover up the mannequin before you put on your tunic.
- Don't make this your permanent solution for a mannequin
