I thought I would show you guys my "War Room". Named from a favorite movie of mine. I collect the uniforms, weapons and equipment of various nations of WWII and WWI. I had another account as "ArditiKnife", some time back, but I cannot get it to work again. Oh well, I am now "Ardito!" haha Once I get the other areas of the room cleaned up I'll show those sides of the room. Many of the uniform and gear impressions I have are boxed up and brought out when I need a change of view. I've written a few books on the Italian and Japanese armies...reference books on the uniforms, weapons, equipment and ephemera of those specific nations in WWII. My current work in progress concerns the Marine of WWI in France. I look forward to speaking with many of you again!
Best Regards, Russ(Ardito)

That's quite the collection Russ. I'm sure we'd all like to hear more about it.

Thanks Curtis! I'll see what I can whip up this week. I spent a lot of the weekend at our local militaria/Gunshow and picked up some nice pieces.
