    A good friend of mine convinced me to get some full mannequins for display purposes. I wish I had bought more over the years.

    Looks great Arch! Full sized mannequins look great with all the kit. I figure you could have your own terra cotta army if you get all your uniforms on full sized mannequins!!!!

    Nothing quite like a good mannequin to display uniforms and kit.




    Good job.

    Really nice job. The mannequin is the best way to bring shine/gloss to our favorite pieces of kit. I have to take an example from you and get some like yours!

    Looks good, mannequins are always the best way to display uniforms/kit - I even put my old contracting kit on some, the 2 in the corner.

    My newest display.....Ranger in Afghanistan circa 2009/2010. Display consists of experimental Bulldog Mirage camouflage uniform, Ranger green RBAV with pouches, and a Ranger specific painted ACH.

     I am also including a picture of some Rangers using the Mirage camouflage.

      The Mirage camo was used on a very limited basis by the 2nd BN, 3rd SFG and with the Rangers.

    Thanks, Zeked. I actually changed out one of the displays recently. I am going for all painted gear on the torso mannequins.
