hi guys,

looking for some winter gear, size: as small as it gets (no idea about uk sizes, really) short as thin mofo 165cm height, most of me know me anyway

will be at the pete skillman event early october if anyone got anything going spare, could you bring it?

tried ostfront for the amoeba suit but they have run out and dont seem to have padded winter stuff.

With your size, you won't have problems getting anything. It's us chaps of a fuller figure who struggle.

Hi Bee,

have i seen your posts on panzergrenadier.net Question

my unit have bought excellent padded suits from front of russia +-£45

ostfront may have the leaf pattern in stock (i personally think they are better than amoeba) but remember these suits from ostfront are HUGE but really good!

I would like to add that Front of Russia have only had one negetive comment on the forum due to an uninsured parcel lost in transit. I would be happy to deal with Alexei again.

Cheers, Ade.

alexei from detling? with the moustache?

No, Aleksei Babushkin from Ukraine - owner of www.frontofrussia.com.
Alex from St.Petersburg is an incredibly talented silversmith though. If you have any bling that needs reproing, he's your man.

any ideas how i can pay him and not pay a stupid amount of charges? i only know of iban and bic/swift transfers and have never heard of the other ways he mentioned.
any help?

Nope, with Alexi its Western Union all the way... and a bloody great punch on the nose from them too!

Best bet is to find a group of Comrades who also want something from him and split the ridiculous West Union fees amongst you.

You will get stung for Western Union fees but I've always found that Alexei puts some little extras in with your order for free.
Sometimes a spare belt or pilotka.sometimes extra pogoni.
Usually though it's packets of cigarettes.

so you usually get your moneys worth.

jo, i think with bic/swift and account no. it should be less expensive. don't know about england, but from germany it might be.

"You will need it to transfer money. Entering in an account costs 1% of amount, which you transfer. You will pay the fee of the bank, which makes this transfer, and fee of correspondent bank (approximately 7 EUR).
Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer money via internet.
You can also use Western Union to transfer money, but their fees are too high, and if you want to lower your costs it would be cheaper to transfer money using properties of an account here in Ukraine.
By the way, there are no banks with IBAN code in Ukraine, as far as our country is not part of EU. But it is not a problem, a lot of people from Europe make payments in favour of Ukrainian people, and vice versa."

The strange thing is that in "mainland Europe" bank transfers are both easy and cheap.... oh and accepted! From here in our island of refusniks, things are a damned sight more difficult!

I know this from bitter experience of shopping on ebay.de Wink

have just found out the fees for a bank transfer are around 20 eur.

is that cheap compared to this western union something money exchange thing?

The WU fees are 13 quid which I think is about the same.
