General info...
This is not a business. I
do sell stuff, but just as an
individual, and usually make less than $1 an hour! Maybe in the
future,
but for now it is just a hobby for myself
to share
with others! I know the "not for sale" gets repetitive, but I
still get regular emails for things I haven't sold in years (or ever
sold)!
My Goal: My goal
is to provide equipment to make WW2
reenacting more like WW2. While it may be fun to run around in
the woods
with bolt action rifles all day the real war was very
mechanized, and there were many automatic and large caliber weapons on
the
field. My goal is to produce replicas of these war machines- from
large
guns to heavy armor. I can produce
anything, but some designs are preventatively expensive or oversized.
I am no longer building
dummy guns, due to increased kit
prices and parts availability, and so that I may concentrate on my
larger
projects.
While I do enjoy the satisfaction of the
finished
product, they take a lot of shop time to build.
All projects on hold
until
my new shop (yet started) is built and wired.
In the meantime... as it is taking forever to gather the cash (loans
suck)...
I will be trying to update
this website on my fabulous dial up connection!
Maintaining
this website is
very costly (in ISP server fees).

My PPSh41 and

I'd really like to make these into semiautos. Thye DP is just a

which I have a semiauto conversion for.

About me: I
was born on a US Air
Force Base in
An
F-105G at George Air Force Base when I
was very young.
In
Italian theatre reenactment. I'm not particularly fond of the
pants we wore
that day, but the unit had to match.
My office, an EMB-145.
While this website is
about
machines of the second world war, I love machines, period. My
profession
is as a pilot. I flight instructed briefly. I then started
at a
cargo airline. For a little over two
years I flew Shorts 3-30 and 3-60 aircraft as both first officer and
captain. Those are up to 36 passenger seat
aircraft
that were converted to a cargo role, for which they are perfect. I then flew a King Air 100 on corporate and
charter flights for almost 2 years. Now I
fly a 50 seat EMB-145, made by Embraer.
It’s quick accelerating and easy to fly once you learn all of
the
electronics and controls, some of which are a little counter-intuitive
(is my
APU bleed on? etc). I am impressed by
it. Importantly for me, I am based in my
hometown, which means I don’t have to commute like many pilots do. I love my job, though it does have some down
sides.
