| | | The sky's the limit on what you can spend on this. You can't show up with crap uniforms and equipment either. I have about $5000 in this and I'm a small timer. If you're interested I just happen to know where you can get a running WWII tank for about $250,000. You really need a lot of money to get into original WWII vehicles, but there are some reproductions available. You can get a street-legal, European-made, reproduction motorcycle and sidecar for about $10,000 or an off-road-only, Chinese-made, reproduction, motorcycle and sidecar for about $6000. An original motorcycle and sidecar costs about $40,000. You can get started as a German for about $1500 and a GI for about $2500. The reason for the price disparity is that a good, used GI weapon (M1 Garand) costs about $1500 and a German weapon (K98) costs about $250.

| | | Uh, hate to burst your bubble, but you can easily buy any M44-series vehicles for less than $5k, and if fully restored, you can still find some for under $9k. The M35 (A1, A2, A2C, etc) model is a nice vehicle if you wanna get started in the MV collecting hobby. For a basic setup that you want to restore yourself, you can get one for around $1000, and for a fully functional one (restored or not) can start at around $4k and up. Yeah, tanks and rare vehicle models are hard to find and very expensive, but many and most are usually within the $2k-9k range for basic equipment. Another nice model is the M37-series and the M181-series trucks. Although a tank would ne nice to have as well... no space here tho. lol

| Excuse me. I didn't say anything about M44 jeeps or M35 series vehicles. I was speaking specifically about WWII period production. Radio2600 You really need a lot of money to get into original WWII vehicles,
| Please refrain from "bursting my bubble" by putting words in my mouth. Also... If it was built after 1945, the authenticity rules won't permit you to use it in a reenactment. Some groups allow post-war vehicles at private tactical events, but NONE will allow post-war or reproduction vehicles public events. Most of the M44 and M35 series vehicles out there are post-WWII production years. Authenticity is taken very seriously. It's a historic reenactment, not a bunch of guys playing dress-up.
