Always great seeing other Steel Soldiers, had a great time. First time at this show, only complaint is the cold weather, but what ya gonna do? Plan to be back next year.
Only took a couple pics. One was a dog turd with an appropriate signage added. The others were of another re-enactor...
Thanks to all those who gave some tips and tricks - I did what you all said, took everything apart and degreased everything I had to work with, with brake cleaner, then tried it again. While I wouldn't say it was easy, it was a lot EASIER. The boots are on peecook's truck and everything is 100%.

Can't have a good Vietnam display without some rain!
