Ahhh! Vertigo!

It's from the view of my tank crew

Seriously tho every time I try to post images here I have to check that it isn't the 90's and I'm on AOL dial up. Posted those images elsewhere in seconds and no issues

Weird, esp the upside down one...ahh technology!

Gotta love technology.  I'm planning on coming out tomorrow, could someone lend/let me borrow a tank.
Mine are in the shop.  
Mike, are you coming tomorrow?

I'm bringing 4 tanks so you can borrow one of them to drive if you want

Video from the work day...

Sorry. My weekend was full. T-34 is fixed. Just need to finish the speaker for the KT for you.

Hey Martin, have you decided what day you’re heading out to the field?

Rain is forecasted for Saturday and Sunday...ya what comes after 2 days of rain???

Monday

Coming up Wednesday to do the railroad and V2 set up. I have some other ideas but I'll be just tanking in mid June

I will be out Saturday morning (the 13th this week)from about 10 to 1 or 2. I will have the wristbands with me too if anyone wants to pop by and get theirs. Will be doing light work still... :-)

Weather looks to be ok so far.

Weather has flipped again...for the better

Mitch I should arrive by 10:30 to 11 today if you are interested. Gorgeous weather to do some light work and I'm going to give the PZIV and Panther some runs.

Mitch I put your vise grips and the screwdriver on the top of the water bottle cooler in the trailer. Laid all the track and set up V2 launch pad and primered and installed the railway bridge. Used some grey foam to replicate the concrete the Wehrmacht Engineers used to make railway bridges passable for vehicles. Only stretch left is up along the path but that can't be put in until we finish the tunnel this weekend. Also there is no more straight track other than the box in the trailer with the small pieces. 

Very nice work Martin! See you Saturday! 

Thanks Dean. The images always download showing in the right axis but as soon as I press upload they rotate. It has to be my phone or my desktop. I think a couple of AA positions and some of the halftracks and the train cars will look great around the V2 pad but I ran out of time as it took me a lot longer than I expected to lay the tracks properly and also required 4 more wheelbarrow loads of soil. I still think I it needs 2 more to cover that area properly

PZ4 looks good on the rail bridge and all your work on the railway is great!

SRY I couldn’t stick around and do more to help out.

Nice work guys. It’s coming along quite nice! Cheers

Thanks for the video and pics. I'll say it again and keep saying it. I miss you guys! Cheers!

Thanks Martin for looking after the tools for me...I was so OCD looking after the bolts, nuts and washers that I cut off the wheelbarrow that I forgot the tools where I left them.

Also just did a quick search and amazon dot ca has replacement axle hangers and axle.

So our battlefield must be in German theatre of war... That RR bridge is just wide enough to let a PZ through...

Maybe Western European theatre?

Especially with the V1 and V2 launchers set up?

I can also squeeze the VK through the railway bridge with a little lube!

The Panther went through literally scraping the paint so I imagine a KV can go through. Shermans and T-34 should have no problem. Pretty well anything that isn't skirted like a Tiger or a JP and obviously a KT could make it through. I doubt any modern tanks are squeezing through. Considering that the lovely winter and spring weather has transformed the other half of the field into Afghanistan or the Golan Heights with the one kibbutz the modern tanks can battle down there

A word of caution about the bridge. The track is both glued and screwed into the bridge deck and the tracks extend out onto the dirt on both ends so it shouldn't be moved from it's position unless absolutely necessary
