Bullitt, Ok, I get it, you like those silly hair metal bands of the 80s...well, why don't you start doing the look of the glam/proto- punk bands of the early 70s...they invented cool! where do you think the motley crues and poisons of the 80s got there looks? here...use these photos for reference...(oh, and the music is much better too!)

MC5

the Stooges

the New York Dolls

the Dictators

Radio Birdman

These guys are all old or dead now, but they knew what was up!

 

[Valac]

New York dolls still perform. I have never heard any of their music, I actually only learned of them a few months ago.

Well, you are dealing with non-reenactors for the most part on this forum, so what do you expect? I am a reenactor, and I only made the comment that you were too clean because that is a big pet peave of mine out in the field. I can understand if it is your parade uniform or if you were right off the higgins boat at normandy...but not in the middle of combat. I misunderstood your comment about this photo being taken at an event. I thought you meant a tactical. Anyways, show us your photos from your "foxhole" digging event now. I will have you know that I have been reenacting German and Russian for 3 years now, and I have yet to wash or even spot clean either of my unifroms...hehe. And that is including about 5 or 6 foxholes, 36 hour tactical winter events and rainy/muddy events. You wanna see me in my parade uniform? It is the same one! I just brush off some of the caked on dirt. Where do you reenact anyways? And what unit are you with?

No pictures from my 36 hour events - they don't want digital cameras because they want to keep it as realistic as possible. The picture there was taken in my back yard after the 4th of July (Independence Day for the USA for those who do not know) parade in a local town. I guess I should have written that it was after a parade.

I do 29th Infantry Division in Maryland. www.29thdivision.com . We have over 130 members.

I will admit I photoshopped the images a little to make everything smoother and get rid of blemishes. It makes everything look cleaner and smoother than it actually is.

yes, they still perform...but there are only 2 original members alive...David Johanson(singer and known as buster poindexter in the 80s) and Sylvain Sylvain (guitar)...so, I decided not to see them at 40 bucks a ticket...since it was only 2/5ths of the original members...if only i was old enough to have seen them in their prime in 1973! I did, however, see Radio Birdman last month...and they are all still alive..old, but still rockin'!! And I have seen the Dictators and they still kick it too!

Well well well...Snozz...i am in the Der Erste Zug, so I am sure my unit hosted one of the events you have been too...maybe we even shot at each other at some point...i have much more respect for you now knowing you are in the 29th...good unit man!...going to the newville event in november? Oh, and I have photos from those events because i own a 1942 voightlander German camera...all my shots look pretty damn authentic!

That's my parade uniform. Pre-D-Day. I have yet to get my assault jacket.

Sorry, US Helmets only come in one size. Would you like me to fatten up so my head gets stuck in it?

Yes, I have dug foxholes. And yes, I have slept in them. However, I did not sit alone in them for 24 hours because most of the time I was either digging another one or out on patrol.

I'm not sure if some of you are just jealous of m me but most of the comments seem to be negative. Instead of the "nice solid impression" that I usually get from other reenactors, I got "your helmet looks big and your uniform is too clean" from this community. I spent 6 years slowly getting my uniform and gear together and researching my unit, and all I get is bad criticism. What a nice group of guys.....How about being nice for a change? It might be useful in the long run.

Thanks for at least saying that I didn't go airborne.

This community has very few reenactors in it, so they may not really understand all that well. I know waxx is a russian reenactor, and I'm scraping together a german Heer impression. I want to find a unit that might be able to get me in lender gear for an event, so i can see if I really like this before droping 2k monies on it. Too bad the only event close to me is the Fort Campbell tatical.

Expensive german stuff is eeexxxxxxppppppeennnnnnnsssssiivvvveeeee!!!

Putz your going to be the camera man that gets demolished by a NFL player on sunday when he can't stop his forward motion going out of bounds LOL

 

[EvilHobo]

Those people don't look like trains...

 

[Valac]

Why is someone always taking pics of Putz taking pics? Shouldnt they take the the original photo of what Putz was supposed to be taking?

Wierdos I tell ya.

 

[Mr._Kong]

lol Valac its true, Putz must have a photographer who follows him around everywhere.Gosh Putz, I did not know you were that important.

 

[Troels]

I saw a car that had the word Putzmeister all over it. True story. Wish I had a camera on me.

Would a linebacker count? Already happened... (suffered a sprained ankle...meh, though the ref he went through first had is shin broken IN HALF...ie the bone sticking out the side of his leg...)

If you're ever in the photo business, other photographers usually take pictures of OTHER photographers.

 

[Valac]

That is like the director shooting his load on the porn star, it isnt natural.

 

[Ralfst3r]

Putz, wtf are the trains?!? Where?

 

[Zell]

That's a pretty big lens. I bet you could see to the moon on that thing.

 

[PUTZ]

Actually is not too good...the average Telescope or "Moon Lens" is about 1300mm, I've only 300 (x1.6=480mm).

...because ralf asked for it... (taken today, actually...lol)

That is like the director shooting his load on the porn star, it isnt natural.

And how would you know?

 

[Bullitt]
