Best/Favourate Tank in the west

[Soren]

Was just about to say the same..

Sounds just great, Gnomey - I'll trade him for my Waffen SS Panzer officer, if you'd like - he's in grade 1 condition, except that his head wobbles a bit when you knock the jar - no significant holing, although his left hand falls off now and again when the formaldehyde eats through the string... What d'you think?

While some of these items sound rare and collectable, my neice has an original Adolf Hitler mini-clone that has unfortunatly possessed her....

Heres a pic...

 

[ndicki]

Look, this one's the original! He's in a private collection in Russia which I got to see last summer!

I'll take him. Can you through in a copy of the real Hitler too?

 

[ndicki]

Right, I'll just get my jars out... Where did I put my cloning tweezers?

Did you want the clone alive, and if so, what age do you want him arrested at?

You guys crack me up!

Alive would be best, would make a great source of entertainment at dinner parties. Preferably before he gets Parkinsons and before the onset of paranoia say around 1939ish so in his late 30's or at the time of the Munich Putsch.

Anybody got any physical relics of Erich Hartmann? I'll swop then, depending on condition, for an authentic thigh bone from Josef Goebbels, recognizable from being twisted out of shape, vgc with provenance and expertise from Sotheby's.

More fun with the paranoia, if you ask me - half way through the (gefillte) fish, you could tell him the cook's Jewish! and sit back to watch!

Any bits of Hartmann for Adler?

Nope sorry saw one a couple of years ago but dunno where it is now, the price would of been astronomical though it wasn't for sale. I too would love to have one.

I only have one of Guy Gibson of the famous airmen.

No, I do only Axis ones - Commonwealth war graves people get a bit sensitive sometimes.

Yeah they do, got him on a shady deal from someone in Botswana.

Bl**dy dog got into my collection, knocked over two of my jars of formaldehyde, and bu**ered off with my Panzer Officer's left arm. I've still got his hand, but it looks a bit silly just floating there with a bit of string. He got a live AT mine, too. I'm waiting for the bang - any minute now...

We are way off topic now....

to the pictures posted by NDicki, the turret looks more like from the Israeli Merkeva tank than that of a Centurion

Here are some pics of some German Armoured Vehicals that I took at the Sinsheim museum on Saturday.

The Panther is a fully functional Panther and even drove the museum under its own power.

Excellent shots Chris.... Really sweet lookin place...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

It is a nice museum. I am going to start a thread of it showing the pics I took. The museum also has a Concorde, Tu-144, 3 Ju-52s, Ju-87, Ju-88, Bf-109G-6, Fw-190A, original parts such as armoured plating and 15in cannon from the Tirpitz that were recovered when she was broken up, 2 Fiesler Storchs, He-111, tons of allied tanks, great Afrika Korps setting. It normally has a Tiger and a King Tiger as well but they are on loan and restoration respectively at the moment.

There are over 3000 exhibits at the museum.
