WWII themed brush and scales

I have a buddy whose grandfather was a baker for the regular German infantry during WWII and he is a fan of all things from that era. For a late Christmas present I made him some scales in field grey with some decals from a WWII German tank model and his hockey number on them. I spray painted the wood scales then applied the decals and sealed it all with a CA finish and lots of Renaissance wax.


The blade is a Carbo Magnetic Griffin made in Germany (prior to WWII I guess)

The shaving brush is modeled after a German hand grenade from WWII.
The knot is silvertip badger from Whippeddog.com

Sometime I'll make an US Army set to go with this one.


The Nazi Zombie movie is just for fun :)

Wow Tim, that is really cool, like something you could find in a war museum!

And using a Norwegian movie as prop......:tu

Great job on the razor and brush combo. Also nothing wrong with a good Nazi zombie flick.

Nice work Tim. Both look great. How did you make the brush?

Stu

Thanks!
It's just pine that I turned on my lathe. I taped off the top and bottom and spray painted them field grey. I used a "gunstock" colored stain on the handle part then put several coats of protectant on the whole thing.

Rune were you one of the zombies? I thought I noticed one who was particularly smooth shaven!!!

Brilliant idea and work! Thanks for sharing.

Good movie, great razor and brush design!

Very Cool. I dig your themed work.
I'm sure your buddy's Grandfather will love them.

Well done Tim. This is a great looking set.

Great ideas, give birth to beautiful work.

Pretty damned ingenious IMO, great job!!

That is cool! I like the effort used as well as the outcome. So many good folks fought on all sides. It will mean a lot!

Thanks guys!
He was blown away and shaved (for the first with a straight) with it this morning! I'm excited that we might have another convert.

That is way to cool dude.

I think i will need to update my list restoration projects and add a colum for "theme" blades!!

Yeah. I take pics of shaving stuff...and that's about it.

Where did you get the woodland camo plastic? Well done, love those .45s it makes a great back drop.

I was curious why it took 8 months to answer about the pics! Time warp? :shrug:
