The day time stuff should be totally fine. It is jsut the camping stuff that might be a problem.

Thanks. Hopefully it all works out :D

I recon the over night stuff will be more than cool. It is going to be freezing 🥶

What country are you in mate? I got my replica 50cal and of a chap called Chris Golding but he has stopped making them. The gun pedestal in the Jeep was in the garage of a cha[stle rack is made by allied forces canvas. It just hangs on is strapped down. Real bustle racks were all made in the field and were many different version. I have seen a photo of one which was just built from a front door of a house a solider had pulled off.

@@Truffle1947 Hi bud! Thanks fr the fast reply. I'm in Portugal. The nearest source for a pedestal, with or without the Ma Deuce, is Jeep Sud Est but oh boy! SILLY expensive. I found a film props bloke in England does the Ma Deuce at a super price but it's another £450 to get it over because the law states it has to be flown plus you have custom clearances to contend with as well. The Jeep Sud Est option therefore wins even though it's so expensive. But I'm not sure the mount is anything like yours as there didn't seem to be much cast component on it. I think it does have the can tray at the side though. Interesting about the bussel! Did your complete Ma Deuce canvas come from the same Allied Forces Canvas?

@@martinjf467 No my 50cal canvas is an original. So is the pedestal and the gun cradle. If that pedestal in England is from who I think it is then don't waste your time :)

They are impressive tanks in person.

You are welcome. There is still a couple more to come before the whole museum has been covered :D

Because I am not. Enjoy your day. Great comments. Don't bother to leave anymore.

I seem to have more of a clue about it than you do about proper English 🤔 If you are going to be miserable and not even remotely constructive at least do it with a proper sentence😌

Ah Plemieux73..... How to make yourself look an idiot in one sentence 1stly I assume you mean 'no' instead of 'know' as they mean two totally different things 2ndly he is actually very knowledgeable on ww2 US

None of the people portraying the German soliders are German either 🤔

Thanks Tim. Glad you liked it :D

Thanks. Yes it was a good bit of fun :D Not something you get to do every day :D

@@XploreNorfolk yeah sorry I have been a bit rubbish with getting stuff edited. I think I just need to turn off the horizon lock so you get a bit of pivot during the footage so you get a better sense of the uneven ground 😁

@@Truffle1947 The distinctive ammo box adds to the effect, hehe. Oh and no need to apologise for anything at all, quality over quantity. 👍

@@KiloLima we are on the same page here. I found it odd that the carter carb dint do it but both solexes I have used do.

@@chrispig7748 I hopefully will get to go down next Friday. If you make it and see me come and say hi 😁

@@chrispig7748 give me a shout to if you see me in the woods

@@WW2_X2 i am hoping to get down on the Friday. If you see me give me a shout 😁

Ok yeah same im going to be there on Friday until Monday

I am convinced that is the problem with these solex carbs! I keep seeing other Jeeps that are the same which have them fitted.

@@jamesbryant4396 Thanks James. It is a shame that the carb only worked for about a month before I had to send it back 😭

Think thats just an odd angle and the rough hand brushed paint :D

Thanks James. I am far from a professional but I hope it helps people :)

@@chrispig7748 They are a lot of fun to drive. You have to just show them respect or you are going to end up in trouble. The gears are not to bad as they are not total crash boxes. As long as they are kept maintained you can have a lot of fun with them.

@@Truffle1947 cheers!

@@ianpeterson6029 Thanks Ian 😁

@@prohypeman thanks ☺️ glad you liked it.

@@andrewhodgson9750 a good number of the vehicles now in the hall are already up to standard and were on display. They simply are now in storage in there after the rework of the new display layout.

Trust you to say that 😏

Thank you for sharing his story 🥰 You cannot imagin being in something like that :(

Hopefully one day you can get down. Theres a few more walk around videos to come still and next year at some point I will do it again hopefully with beter camera skills :D

@@awesomemydog5569 hopefully it helps. Be sure to do your own research to though just incase I get anything wrong 😁

@@user-we4nu2mc6b Glad you liked seeing it. The Milltech roughouts are pretty decent. I have had mine for years and done many miles in them. You can get them from epic militaria 😁

@@MG-id7hl Thanks Mike. Glad you are enjoying the videos 😁 Congratulations on the Jeep 😊

​@@Truffle1947Greetings once again. The jeep has arrived and I absolutely love it. There is one major snag...that being I am a gentleman of 21st century proportions. Not only is the driver seat extremely tight space wise...but the steering wheel presses down on my belly button area where I have had 2 hernia operations. Do you know a range of options for the driver space that would increase space for me and allow me to drive the thing in safety and comfort ? Cheers.....Mike

I recently picked up one of their hbt jackets

Ha. Yes I did wonder what he was doing when he suddenly pulled in :D

@@thatoneguywithtwothumbs this is a ww2 us small wall tent made by kay canvas. You can buy them from solider of fortune 😀

@@Truffle1947 very nice display thank you. Do you know if one would be able to use this as a hot tent in conjunction with a camp stove?

@@thatoneguywithtwothumbs The little windows at the front and back are actually for that. They a specific stove that they used inside them and a plate went on the "hatch" to protect it. But I certainly would be very careful and you would need to look into it to try and find information about the protective plates..

@@Truffle1947 absolutely thank you for the info I’ll be sure to take caution and educate my self before making a purchase on the tent. It would make a perfect winter hunting tent if so

No I am pretty sure it is unchanged ass nothing has been said. I was also surprised by how much they pushed it. Last time I saw it they were jsut crawling :D

@@mrjoba3208 I would of only used it to taunt you.

No. I have seen a fair few pictures of them with either just the belt holding itself or with the haversack fitted which acts as suspenders to. There is also a pretty famous picture of a bar gunner that has a set of custom made suspenders built from the straps of a different bit of gear but cant remember what it was

Only 1 company?

@@Truffle1947 Yes! Well right then! Combat Engineers, and recovery vehicles

You'd be far better off with Centurions. Best Cold War tank.

@@lyndoncmp5751 Yes I believe you are right, I will get rid of the Patton's, except for one display model.

​@@jameskish4044 Wise man 😊

@@user-we4nu2mc6b the museum has a huge number of vehicles that you just dont get to see anywhere else 😊

@@bugs5644 shame it is not my collection 😂

Most of the time it is to hot here to even wear the jacket. Either that or so cold you want all the buttons done up and the hood on 🤣

@@Truffle1947 lol I'm n the uk aswell I know what you mean

Yeah it must of been horrible.

Really glad you cadets got to come and have a look around so you could see the older gear all set up 😁

Thanks Tim. I love that everyone seems to like the display and appreciate the effort it took 😁

Thanks buddy 😁

Thanks. Interesting idea. I was to add anything it would be something like german rations.

Thanks mate :) I am glad people are liking it as I put a lot of thought into collecting the stuff.
