USMC Guadalcanal Airsoft

Some pics from a recent game day. Went for an USMC early war / Guadalcanal impression. Here we go:

Marine Corps Scouts on Iwo Jima pic

Cool photo of two recon guys on Iwo Jima. Interesting to see that no leggings are worn, the pants are simply stuffed into the socks. They guy on the left wears a Navy shoulder holster for the Victory Model .38 Revolver.

Check out the custom made knuckle knife. At first I thought an Arisaka Bayonet was used to make it, but it seems it is based on a British Lee-Metford Bayonet!

Seediq Bale – Warriors of the Rainbow

Seediq Bale (aka Warriors of the Rainbow) is a Taiwanese movie of truly epic scale directed by Wei Te-Sheng and produced by John Woo. It is based on the “Wushe Incident” in central Taiwan in 1930. The movie is dived in two parts, “Flag of the Rainbow” and “Bridge of the Rainbow”, total running time being about 4 1/2 hours! Easiest way to describe it? Braveheart meets Last of the Mohicans meets Apocalypto

1st Marine Division, Korea 1951

After a way too long winter, spring full of bad weather and lots of stress at work I finally managed to get out for my first game of airsoft this year.

Back in Business

Haven’t been able to post for quite a while, but I’m still alive Packed my gear… and some (hopefully) cool new stuff is coming soon!

Guadalcanal Diary

Guadalcanal Diary is a 1943 movie directed by Lewis Seiler starring Anthony Quinn and William Bendix. It is based on the book of the same name by Richard Tregaskis. Being a wartime production one can not expect an unbiased analysis of the fighting on Guadalcanal. It is more or less a propaganda vehicle, still it is a solid war movie.

Sportswear reg. “Guam Shirt”

The PTO is everywhere Came across this nice shirt by chance. It was on sale at a shop that i usually don’t visit often, guess all the annoying hipsters there didn’t know what they are looking at. At 50% off it was hard to say no, so now it’s mine
