That is a very extensive and impressive collection - surely each one of them would deserve a detailed review.

As you might have noticed, I am always trying to improve my mannequins, which, I must admit, is much easier when you only have a few ones to focus on. So here are my three WW2 Anglo-Canadian...

That is a phenomenal Luftwaffe display, Bob - truly a feast for the eye! cool militaria

That is an impressive setup, Aldo, and I wonder how you could possibly find WW2 German attire in such a near mint condition. My own British setup is just short of shabby!

Best regards,

Didier

Thank you.

I have tried to keep as close as possible to the photos taken in Arromanches in 1944.

Best regards,

Didier

Your mannequin is truly impressive!

Here is a photo (taken at Arromanches in the summer of 1944) to match your black beret.

Still working on my Battle of Normandy Canadian, with the addition of a Canadian haversack (or small pack), among other things. The haversack and its L straps definitely look as if...

Truly outstanding work!

Thank you, Al.
I think you could say that Bundesgrenzschutz (BGS) uniforms are mostly derived from WW2 German prototypes: no single item on this mannequin would have been out of place on an...

My Bundesgrenzschutz mannequin is slowly but surely getting towards completion...

Thank you very much indeed, Jack!
My BGS mannequin is still missing the Y-straps - yesterday a bloke outbid me on an already overpriced set the seller passed off as 'maybe/I'm not an expert'...

Hello,
I have the (demilled) MAT 49 that goes with your kit ;)
The sling wouldn't be period correct, though.
Regards.

My Wachtmeister i. BGS has evolved somewhat - I still haven't found the correct Y-straps, but I do think it now looks a bit more like it.

Okay, this one is far from perfect, and it is not WW2 either, but I will improve it as soon as I can find the correct Y-straps for my Wachtmeister i. BGS (im...

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...

The mannequin itself, which I got from Europe Mannequin (Mannequins pour Musees, Sites culturels et Collectionneurs d'Uniformes - Europe Mannequin), does a whole lot to improve the overall appearance...

This one is not quite finished, but here is a first view of my Canadian corporal during the battle of Normandy.

A slightly improved version of my NVA Major : 1980s Sattelform peaked cap and the mannequin's hand now on the dagger - the devil is in the details ;)

The very latest update to my British mannequin, with the addition of a Denix Sten gun, for want of something better.
I have tried my best to make it look more natural but I fear I...

My mannequin is still basically the same, but it now has genuine WW2 Canadian BD trousers, though of a browner shade than its greenish-looking BD blouse - the trousers...

And an impressive one, too!

The latest (and temporarily final) version of my D-Day British officer, the latest addition being a 1944 made British lifebelt. The boxes I inherited from my family (they had...

So, here is something that is more like it, although still far from being perfect (no boots, no gaiters, no haversack, no Webley replica, Dutch BD trousers and braces that are a tad bit too short):...
