Digging in Norway & Kurland

**inka** · 01-30-2016, 10:30 AM

I have been busy at the workbench again. My friend had made two nice shotglasses from VY 23 mm casings,which was used on the IL-2 Sturmovik, and I needed to make a little crate for them. I used balsa wood,and painted it with acrylics. I am happy with the result,but will do two small corrections,first the ZU-23 will be changed to VY-23 and I will use straw instead of the foam inside the crate. Hope you all like it

*edit: Just noticed the passing into page 100 on this thread with this post,amazing

Got a new miniature for my collection. This time it was one of the hens teeth, the Norwegian "Frontkjemper" badge,awarded to norwegian volunteers fighting in the Waffen SS

In the last pic it is together with my only other norwegian ss/ns pins.

Great additions.

Collectors Guild has some NS trinkets for sale, included an RiksHird uniform

Oh,man,I wonder how many of the little shotglass crates I need to make and sell to afford a Rikshird uniform,or even just the full size "Frontkjemper" badge

It is a dream though

A couple of new things for the collection. These was found by our Karelia digger Maxim,so I would like to thank him a lot

Soooo you are the one who bought the helmet with the drakkar. Now i am relieved.

I sent the finder a PM asking if i could buy the helmet. But he told me it was sold, i was certain it was in another country by now. I do not collect SS, but i wanted to buy the helmet to secure it for the future, it was so important for me to get that historical important helmet back to Norway.
(( If it was Norway the owner came from- sadly we cannot say 100% without a name in the helmet))

Now i am very happy to know it is in a good collection!

Please, I hope you can consider sending me a PM first if you ever are going to sell this important helmet.

It is finally a hint of spring in the air, and what other way to celebrate post #1000 on this thread with a little stroll in the forest,,and I discovered 2 german fieldkitchens on the trip,might be a campsite I never knew about
