    Cold War movie with 88mm tiger shells and mg 42s with soviet 50-60s anti aircraft guns... seems like they are going for authenticity

      In one of the Syria vs. Israel wars the Syrian tank core consisted of refurbished German WW2 tanks and ones from Czechia that were finished based on what was left in the factories when the Russians came through. The armories of most colonial nations that achieved freedom during that time consisted almost entirely of ww2 weaponry

      Now if a museum needed a shell done to give an example of one that's good looking, and not say in a wearhouse or in the Earth for years, then yes.
      They could easily make a brass she'll, and a sheet metal or steel head, paint it, and fill it up with rocks, weights, something, to give it the weight.
      But all together, there's so many shells like that, I think he really stopped caring about keeping that old look and not changing anything about it.

    Well, those 88mm shells are no longer worth much. Any shell with body filler completely and immediately devalues it. I have a shell with 60-70% brass wash on it, but there is a dent on the shoulder that I want to fix, but I am not quite sure how.

    • @KeepItBrick

      @brickbuilderx2316 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Romaster 8035 Oh, a magnet won’t cut it, these shells do not have thin walls, the casing walls are probably 1.5mm thick, upon which I can stand on it, and jump (I am 5”11, 180 pounds) without it getting a dent. They are 13 pounds of German made steel. If I am going to take the dent out, it is going to require a weld and some specialty made tools (most likely a threaded rod in order to pull the dent out in order to remind it.
