zumbaz: look at the homepage www.inquisitionstrupp23.de/In "Unsere Ausrüstung" and "Galerie" are some other pics...I think you can handle an homepage in german language  Cadian 117 : What book??? I put some pics from the forge- minis , do an drawing with measures in proportion to the pics... Then I take the ankle- grinder....lets go.... Call me an freestyler.... I´m not looking every minute on the drawing, I see the ready thing in my head... But I had the advantage that I ´ve build some imperial weapons in this style.... Greets Watts

The videos are great. Very well done actions at the Games Day. Too bad I don't speak enough German to understand.

At 1:43, is that a bolt pistol the officers carrying?
And 3:36, is that a grenade launcher he has?

The Refined Gentleman (M.I.A) : What do you mean with 1.43 and 3.36 ?? But yes, I´m using an Bolt pistol and we had an grenade launcher in service...  Regards...........Watts

Hey Lt. This stuff and your site is freaking amazing. I am able to understand enough of the site to navigate not to mention get my self slapped by a few of the frau's. Other than that I might be able to still toss off a few insults.
I am most interested in getting the armor plans as well as what plans you used for the las-guns. This stuff is just sweet.

holly s#@* god damn! i cam in to late to see this!!! so you guys in Germany make your scale weapons and play airsoft!!!! damn i knew there were people in America who do similar games mostly world war 2 enthusiasts BUT GOD DAMN THATS SO COOL!!!!!! man i really REALLY wish us in Australia could be so lucky airsoft games are band here, they dont sell the guns, you need a normal gun license to own one and importing them and thats BLOODY HARD TO DO! all in all i could make a home made air rifle that can rival a commercial one out of PVC pipe for under $20 but we can have a plastic toy that couldnt kill a bird at point blank!...................ah lifes not fair  the only other option for a game like that would be paint but you couldn't modify you gear ITS PAINT! and laser tag well it would be more fun if to hit someone!............. your so lucky ill have to watch this intently |

(other than the fact i'm a wuss and use plastic to make my props) i go to american games days as a commissar, and while i get alot of attention, theres like no other costumers really, and bugger all imperial guard at that! the chance to meet you and your forces ltericwatts is something i could only really dream of, you guys are ace  |

I wish i lived in Germany because nowadays, unlike Britain, not everyone hates Germans. I sometimes feel our country is the laughing stock of europe.

ssgtdude (M.I.A) : I´ve send you an pn.. staghound27 : Its not perfect in germany, I can´t handle this things in public...only use on private property, but currently we have an relaxed police chief in the neightbourhood, they know what we do , so it is possible to play a little imperial guard camp at the tabletop event organized by an good friend( the pics on the page called "firebug-Turnier) in public industrial streets. In germany is not allowed to use full auto airsoft or ram´s, and use only on private property. There are sometimes people in germany, if seeing guys in uniform handling weapons...thinking at the same moment "Thats terrorist or Wehrsportgruppen( militant neonazis)" and call the police. One time( the first event with the mortar) we had that fun.... ; kommissar : If have seen some of your pics...well done work too, respekt clearly and clean work... Yes, the distance is an great problem in this hobby...not so many people do it in this way and hundreds or thousends of kilometers between....damned  . My dream is sometimes all imperial guys together in an big camp....  @ pvtpuffy : You should´nt think so...other countries, other problems.... But I like the british forces, I had some friends riding british scout cars (Ferret,Humber Pigs,Fox), and I´m still repairs an british Ferret MK2/3 build in 1961...but thats another story Regards from an currently sunny germany...

could I have a copy of the armour plans as well, as I'm really interested in making some of this. except more likely to make a basic troopers stuff first. could I also have the plans for the lasguns if there are any?

Hmm...some people ask me for that....but there is no plan to doing the armour, I build it by learning and doing and kick it in the trash box... Its not easy to do it in steel, you must have an gas protection welding equipment, because the steel sheets had an thickness of1,5mm and 1 mm . But I will show some detailed pics of the armour... An sketch with the important measures of the lasgun its possible.. See here the back of an prototype...   I look for some other pics to show you the details... Greets Watts |

The inner sheet with 1mm thickness is´nt welded on the inner side of this breast plate...you can see the many little cuts done to form the small stabilazition sheets, after forming the cuts gets closed by welding....its many work.. If that point is done, you can´t form the armour no longer in any way. The small sheet on the sides give later the thickness of the armour ,10mm´s. have a look at an ready one....   and you see, that the front plate is´nt fixed with an leather strap in style of the Artworks( It does´nt work, because of the fixing of the shoulder protection!), we use a steel band weldet together with the backside of the armour but with an hinge on the front part.  |

Shown on this pic....   But today I startet on an new way....I laminate my first part for the elysian equip. I made an form out of steel and use an mix of glass fibre and aramide...both 3sheets..tomorrow i´ll see .....if its hardened. First the outer side of the form  and the laminated stuff  If it works it is the better and easier way for all to do... Greets watts |

Basaliskian: Why sould I I build an mortar......I had build an mortar in the past ;D  And why should I built an autocannon.... ;D ;D But is an mixture beetween the older wheeled style and the newer one ( Barrel and the drum mag, on this pic removed)  I´m experimented with using the cannon in the fortifications turret.......   And.....I do´nt have to work on a assault cannon...you know what I´ll say???   One is still in service.....the rotation of the barrels works really.. An chimera is impossible....I´ve problems enough to rebuild the ferret....because I´m not an specialist in engines or transmissions and both are down, reconstruct the hull is´nt the problem... there are an big block of money to spend....I must first wait to get the money....at the other side , If told it formerly in this thread, I can´t ride on the german streets with an fully with steel tracks equipped tank, its not a problem of the weight...

Sister Galatea(M.I.A) Lord Graenis : At that day, you do this in real, I would build you the real steel handweapon to that equip...and I´ll visit the first time england... But first you need the 11000€ to get an FV432 in working condition........like the Rhino done by THQ. staghound27 : At the day I got the ferret (one and a half year ago, the scout car was in very bad condition ( I have got it for an low price) last action was the first gulf war, protecting field airbases in kuwait. The following time this vehicles standing outside on a british army field in germany. The engine is blocked, and the transmission get some of water. I must change it for new parts..( waitin for someone bring me 2600€ :  The day of the arrival:  The currently condition, engine, transmission..all inner parts removed..  If that thing it is working, I had really fun to ride it ;D but not in full cadian gear...have you ever climbed in an ferret scout car MK2/3 (with the turret) with the mounted machine gun..absolutely impossible with the carapace...! There are two reasons why I would like in britain... because, you can ride every type of tank.....and beltring... at it other side I like it to live in germany ( I do´nt like minty taste on my meat ) Greets Watts
