Blood for the Baron!

Looking good!

Did all Wave 1 Germans come with a little logo on their helmets? (behave!!!). Going to have to check mine tonight to see whether they've got them or not.

I think the wave1 germans with badged hats are very rare, even amongst the MOCs.
Mine are repros! Hence the luftwaffe eagle on the paratroop helmet.

I've always wondered about that, two of my stormtroopers have badges, but the 3rd one hasn't..I've just always assumed it had worn off or was a error.

If you look in the toy archive you can see stormtroopers in the bubble some with and some without badges. It seems that a grey chinstrap means early, and (originally at least) badged. Black chinstrap= later and never badged.

Damn! Just checked and none of mine have a badge - even grey chinstrap one or moc one. No sign of wear to grey strap one, so not sure what's going on there!

Here's a pic I found while trawling the interweb

where the hell do you get repros????!!!!
great custom by the way, the camo in the finished pic is sweet!

I think he meant homemade repros. What is that figure range, Rude Kid?

it looks like 21st century toys, but don't quote me, that is the only pic of a Fallschirmjäger 1:18 scale that I've been able to find

Had my wave 1 Stormtroopers out for a photo call today..hope this helps with helmet badge, middle one has black strap & no badges.. Left & right grey straps & badges
