John Kettler Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 This was too good not to share. The quality of the work's incredible. This is part of a larger Panzer grog's delight of a site. Would you believe it has declassified French drawings of a Panther periscope. Oh, ArgusEye! The Eva Project (full scale Tiger 1 turret) http://www.panzerbasics.com/index_files/90-john/john-01.htm French drawings of Panzer components, to include optics. http://www.panzerbasics.com/index_files/30-resources/french-drawings.htm Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Truly astonishing. However, I can't figure out if he's insane, as I cannot understand someone going to all the trouble of doing this... Mind you when I read the arcane details folks go into on these forums... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek2 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 10 - View through the forward cupola episcope. The barrel is clearly aimed "above" my wife's car! I'm amazed the marriage has lasted this long, she must have the patience of a saint! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Erwin, If you think that's impressive, take a look at what this guy in Russia does. A lot! Article http://rbth.ru/articles/2012/05/07/retired_soldier_builds_life-size_models_of_world_war_ii_tanks_15579.html Gallery http://rbth.ru/articles/2012/04/27/retired_soldier_builds_life-size_models_of_world_war_ii_tanks_15421.html The gallery barely touches what he's got, but you'll have to dig the other pics up for yourself. Google this term "vyacheslav veryovochkin" Am not responsible for any resultant incontinence issues! Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Of course one has to understand that there isn't a lot else to do in rural Russia except get drunk and build full-size tank models lol. Hell, there isn't much to do where I am in rural godforsakenland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fry30 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 That's a lend-lease Sherman in one of the shots, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fry30 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 And common, 4 shots of the guy pulling a jacket over his head, but all we saw was about the same 2-3 tanks (maybe all just the same T-34)? Oh well, more vodka comrade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'm amazed the marriage has lasted this long, she must have the patience of a saint! It does give a wonderful impression of how poor visibility is from inside a tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG TOW Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I hope they put this on something better than a T34 chassis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
