Tanks for the Memories

[spitfire]

Speaking of tanks in Berlin.

My nipper bought me a 1/35 Chieftain for Fathers Day so I'm going to paint it like this. Berlin Brigade camo pattern.

Mid to late '80's, were you still in the city then Sasaferrato ?

I watched likesfish link and was weirded out by the anime way of animating faces from the side.

Yes the whole concept is disturbing/weird anyway but I've not seen it properly before.

 

[spitfire]

Anyhoo, here's a picture of me in a bit of a tank in Belgium.

Having had to lug a fraction of that length of track in a stretcher-carrying exercise (no, never, ever again), someone's got their work cut out re-tracking that...

 

[kebabking]

Meh...REME problem.

Brew?

Meh...REME problem.

At least it shed it track on a hard surface. Mud makes it so much worse.
