After going to OTSN its always nice to go see the 1:1 stuff too. This year it was announced the this is the largest WWII reenactment in the US. Saturday drew more than 10,000 visitors. It now has over 1200 reenactors at the event.

Now that looks like a very fun and informative activity. Where does all that armor come from and who owns it? -- Al

They come from all over the country.....you think our hobby is exspensive......I was talking to a guy about a German Rabbit that was there and he told me they can sell for upwards of $100,000....and that just for a little Rabbit!

Its a great event because you can walk around and touch the equipment and talk to the reenactors.....and they really know their stuff.
