robinb Posted January 29, 2019 #1 Posted January 29, 2019 I don't really collect Japanese items but I have a lot of it. Here's my first attempt at a manikin display. I still need to find a leather belt. The helmet is dated 1941 and is reportedly a bring back from Truk.
VPEP Posted January 29, 2019 #3 Posted January 29, 2019 That is a beautiful display you have. Thanks for sharing it. I especially like all of the ordnance you have on the shelf. Vic
robinb Posted January 29, 2019 Author #4 Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks Eric! Vic, yes, I've had some luck finding ordnance material.
MattS Posted January 29, 2019 #5 Posted January 29, 2019 Great mannequin, even better background treasures!
jangle Posted February 7, 2019 #7 Posted February 7, 2019 Super display! Thanks for posting photos of it.
Bugme Posted February 7, 2019 #8 Posted February 7, 2019 Impressive display. The mannequin is one of the most lifelike I've seen.
P-40Warhawk Posted February 8, 2019 #9 Posted February 8, 2019 That's a really nice display! Is that mannequin from Yanks?
P-40Warhawk Posted February 8, 2019 #11 Posted February 8, 2019 That looks amazing, but your helmet really sets off the display. It's perfect!
robinb Posted February 8, 2019 Author #12 Posted February 8, 2019 I have been fortunate to find original gear in near new condition. The helmet came from a fellow collector long ago. He got it directly from the vet who brought it home.
mikie Posted February 10, 2019 #13 Posted February 10, 2019 If you don't really collect Japanese items, I can't wait to see the stuff you do really collect.
RussM Posted June 9, 2019 #14 Posted June 9, 2019 You have a great collection of Japanese gear! The mannequin set up is great, love the helmet with net! Regards Russ
Spaff Posted June 15, 2019 #15 Posted June 15, 2019 That is not considered a collection? Wow! Simply fantastic high grade stuff.
spag199th Posted January 25, 2021 #16 Posted January 25, 2021 Looks like you have three type 38 rifles behind your manikin. I have just one type 38. Put a bayonet on them and it's almost 6' in length. Japanese soldiers average height was 5 feet 3 inches. Very nice display. Good job.
robinb Posted January 26, 2021 Author #17 Posted January 26, 2021 I just realized that I first posted here 2 years ago almost to the day! I need to update the manikin photos since I was able to locate a belt.
warguy Posted January 26, 2021 #19 Posted January 26, 2021 Yes very nice display. I have all the pieces and parts have just never got around to putting it all together. Your example will be used to motivate my efforts. Thanks for sharing!

Fortunes Of War Posted February 22, 2021 #22 Posted February 22, 2021 Wow! That's a fine collection!! Can't wait to see all of the updates.... MikeB
