• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

Finnish Sergeant, Continuation War

I think this guy is finally done! He's a Finnish NCO during the Continuation War around 1942. Again, my photography sucks, but with the real snow coming down for added effect, I couldn't resist! Any opinions or critiques are warmly welcomed. Than you for looking!

Niiiice work, Will!
He looks really great, especially in a natural environment.

I really like DML's Otto, he was one of my first Germans.
 
I've seen photos showing the entrenching shovel with a hole drilled near the edge of the head and the shovel hanging from a clip off the waist belt. Also the Finnins where using M16 German helmets at that time. Nice work so far.
 
Thanks everyone for your kind remarks! I will be getting the proper helmet for him soon, though finding an '16 stahlhelm that fits is head has been 'fun.' I'm looking for a Lutz Fedder helmet that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to get.:) Otto was my first German as well, and now he's my first Finn!

Thanks again!

Will
