Howdy, friends! I've been trying to finish off this NCO Waffenrock mannequin for the longest time, but I haven't been able to find a suitable pair of white-piped trousers. Well I've finally nailed them down, and the "walking-out dress" NCO mannequin is complete. The trousers are a bit long for my mannequin (they were apparently for quite a tall fellow) but I've managed to make them work.
One more! Here's a pre/early-war Infanterie soldat with a nice 1937 dated greatcoat with bottle-green collar, M35 re-issue helmet and a '39 dated RR Stielhandgranate.
I really like these early coats. They have such a nice color and the quality is outstanding - they're incredibly well constructed. This one is stamped on the lining as belonging to Infantry Regiment 15, 3rd Company.

My Canadian has evolved somewhat over the last few weeks, but I am still awaiting 10 stripper clips and 50 deactivated .303 rounds to fill his bandolier to capacity.
I have also upgraded my other (British) mannequin, but am not quite sure it is now historically correct: do you think Royal Engineers might have worn toggle ropes on 6 June 1944?
I would think so. Many people believe the toggle rope is an airborne forces item but it was not originally exclusive. It is simply a useful and practical means of attaching items to one another or to assist in carrying/hauling heavy items very quickly. As such combat engineers as well as artillery units etc would have plenty of uses for it. It was a widely used item and I don't think your display could be considered incorrect for including it.
