Some of the many photos and videos taken in this year’s big foam dart game event, this time in Taiwan. It is my first time here. Fun experience, good teamwork, and the bar can only be raised.
P.S. not resting on my laurels. The next big event is in Thailand, later this month.
First time ever in Taiwan, and the first place to check out was the MOA Expo, the biggest Military Outdoor Exhibition in the world!
I signed up for a 10 kilometre trail run, partly to also support a friend’s event that he’s part of the organizing team.
But since I do regular walks and jogs in the evening, I didn’t want this to be “just another run”… so I wore plate carrier. 🙂
For real.
When one of my WW2 Reenactor buddies alerted us to a Tiger I tank in Malaysia, I didn’t believe it.
To be exact, it’s a prop – because real ones are very rare in the world, with only 1 working tank still working. We also don’t think it’s a true 1:1 scale but even for a prop, it’s considered good.
This Tiger I tank prop sits in front of the Malaya Kawan cafe in Kuala Lumpur. So I made a day trip over from Johor – had a lunch meet with the other WW2 Reenactors that I haven’t caught up in ages, and of course the main attraction was the photo op with said tank.
So finally, I got to realize my panzer dream! Always wanted to take photo in front of a Panzer in uniform, and somehow “law of attraction” worked its magic, even though it took more than a decade.
Too bad, we couldn’t climb the ‘tank’ because as a prop, it might not support our weight and we might damage it. Still, this is as close as it can get – and I’m satisfied.
Nearly 3 months of preparation… for what was going to be the 3rd consecutive time I’m ending the year with a big Airsoft game in Thailand! This time it was organized by Thailand Military Impression Club. The theme is Afghan War (2001-2021).
Joined by 170-something players at Grand Canyon, Ratchaburi. Saw some familiar faces from the last 2 MILSIMs, and met new ones. Had a blast!
There are more photos, I’ll share in the next post…
