Great pic! Thanks for posting.Interesting in that the one guy still sports the older looooong bayonet and the other guy has an Italian SMG.

Since you guys seem to know Italian , is the word innuendo Italian for Preparation H ?

I will toss this shot into the mix. Some perspective distortion but this really shows differences in human size. New Mexico Trinity Test site.

Part shameless plug and part massive thanks and admiration to AFV magazine today. The plug part is they published the first 4 episodes of my graphic novel. It is available online and in print. The article if purchased alone is about a buck, I think.
The thanks and admiration part goes to the excellent editing and graphics done with the article. It uses period graphics and fonts amoungst other things to really make it leap right out of the way I originally imagined it to look! And I never talked with them about it. I just sent the pics and narrative. Remarkable work on their part really.
OK then, soapbox time over. Back to regular programing,

Something else to be aware of is the āfitā of BD. Generally it āfit where it touchedā! Thereās an old joke about a soldier being issued a complete set of BD that fitted perfectly. He had to be demobbed of course, he was completely deformed!

More on Mutt and Jeff
I included a shot of the backside so you can see the beginning of the construction of the empty canteen webbing. The bren pouches need some trimming back as well so they match the ones āMuttā is sporting. The first coat of paint helps me see flaws that need smoothing,etc.

Jerry, same here in Oz, I posted on Facebook how disgusting it was that there was nothing on tv (except for one news station that showed the only American Vet at Omaha in a 20 second snippet on Australian news). So disappointing, but at least guys like us here will never forget wether through modelling and talking about it until I die. Amen to those who climbed into a cockpit, manned a conning tower or changed the barrel on a number ones gun in France in 1944.
