Couple photos taken of me at The Ontario Regiment RCAC Museum, located in Oshawa Ontario, at their Aquino Tank Weekend Event in September 2021.
Kit was built around reference pictures, veteran account, and manuals from the time period. Impression wise I decided to do 2PPCLI during the early 1980s, as they are fairly well documented. Critique is more than welcome, as I am always trying to improve the authenticity and accuracy of what I am displaying. Trying to get more guys interested in Cold War Reenactment, hopefully within the next couple of events there will be more people kitted up. If you are interested in joining, please send me a pm!

Still a work in progress, as it has proven a challenge with tracking down certain items, and replicating things such as period rations, etc. I have acquired more items, they are just not in the current photos.
