Tanks - Tumblr Posts
Yup, that's a real tank. In a memorial park.
( don't worry it's not loaded and it's not active )
More npcs for Lancer, light tanks braking through the brush and debris. I really like how they turned out, I had the bits I used to make them laying around forever, a backpack piece from a Wargames Atlantic 28mm kit. Same simple paint job, but I'm actually thinking of placing a little bit of narrative weight on these units.
I’m gonna be MIA for a week because of this :/

So.
Y'all know that one meme of the tank being dumped off the ship saying "I go kill submarine for the motherland"?
If not, here it is:
The origins behind this image are utterly fascinating.
This is not a soviet built tank despite what the meme implies, it is actually a chinese built tank, a T-69-2 to be more specific.
What you don't see in the image are the further 24 tanks that are also on the barge about to dropped into the water as well.
These tanks are being dropped in on personal orders by Queen Sirikit, the queen mother of thailand.
No, for those worried, this was not them discarding old unusable tanks, at least in this instance. Rather, each of these tanks have selected and prepared to make an artificial reef. Rather than melt them down for scrap, in 2010 there were pushed into the water off the gulf of siam to create a home for hundreds of sea creatures. All the internals are gutted, including the engine and transmission, don't worry.
If you looks a little closer into the image, you'll see that all the hatches are open or removed, probably to make room for sea life.
If you want anymore info, I'd suggest checking out ConeOfArc over on youtube, he has a lot more on this and many more fascinating subjects such as the origins behind the panzer of the lake.
Y'all find this as cool as I do, right? Like, this shit is just so damn cool. As a wee bit of a tank nerd, it does make me sad that these are being dumped never to be seen again, but at least their still being used for something rather than being turned into tin cans.
Since @swiftstar01 her amazing vacation pictures I’m comfortable enough to show mine.
These are pictures I’ve taken a good three weeks ago from the 101st airborne museum and the barracks both located in Bastogne/ Bastenaken.
The museum has artefacts from general Patton and donations from other veterans and locals. It is a humble collection that is still expanding with the unique element of a realistic bomb shelter (not for the faint of hearth). One of the most beautiful museums I’ve ever encountered.
The Barracks have a large collection of tanks and vehicles. There’s even a large complex were still operating tanks get their repairs and others get restored.
I have more pictures so if anyone wants a part two I’ll gladly make one.

Ottoway Volume 2 - Otto vs Tank
Passionate, biased, political. Events where millions of innocent people (mostly boys) were killed make me feel things, call me a bleeding heart. Zero-Dialogue scenes are my favorite.
War and Peace revival, 2016
Hatches & bolts, hatches & bolts...
Now with 100% more bustle too!
No More No more bombs, No more tanks, No more armies Arrayed in ranks. No more air raids, No more mines, No dead bodies, In long sad lines. No more ruined cities, No fatherless child, No frail widow, Weeping wild. When I have power, There'll be no war, But peace on Earth For evermore - - Just peace on Earth For evermore.
