    Thanks to you guys for bringing back this marvel of german engeneering. my granddad, who served on one of those machines has tears in his 95 year old eyes. Just for this, all your effort was worth it. I never saw this man in tears, til I showed him this video and translated it for him. he knew every part you were holding in your hands. I translated it for im simultaneously. Big hugs from an old and proud " Jagdpanther-Mann".

    Being a welder an fabricator for over 50 years I'm constantly amazed at the skill and vision these men have in restoring a part of history that would be lost if not for them. The only regret I have is age an my health will never allow me to see in person the amazing works they have brought back to life for future generations to see.
    Well done and thankyou for sharing this and all your videos with a very thankful old man. I wish my father who fought from D-day thru the battle of the bulge he fought in 5 major battles and was highly decorated never lived long enough to enjoy watching these amazing videos.

    You guys should cut up the original off cuts into small pieces, around 25mm x 25mm. Sell them online with a nice certificate showing vehicle and details of its location when recovered from the battlefield. Maybe epoxy them into a nice display box or glass bell. Could easily raise thousands for the museum.

    Being German born in 63, I´m deeply impressed of the work you have done! I did a lot of restauration work on cars an bikes myself, but doing this on a tank is shurely a much more challenging task. Just the sheer massiveness of the components - especially when they are deeply rusted and bent by detonations - requires a completely different way of work. Not to mention the machinery that is decessary.
    I really apperciate your work bringing this rarity back to life. It can show the younger Australian generation what their great-grandfathers had to deal with fighting in WW II so far away from their homes. And what was the reason so many of them died fighting on the "right" side to bring the Nazi-craziness to an end. And to show us Germans, that we are defintly not the "Herrenrasse" but just a little part of mankind.

    As a plastic modeller restoration projects really are a blessing on the level of detail you can achieve just by seeing the real vehicle being restored because so many kits are missing details and are not correct this is a joy to save history like this thank you for your good work.

    The only thing better than this would be restoring this tank to be able to run and drive, and possibly even restoring (at least cosmetically) the interior, weapon positions and all. For a museum piece, you wouldn't want functional guns, but being able to open the hatch and see the inside would be amazing.

    The work your craftsmen perform is nothing short of mechanical magic. All of you are amazing. I watched your Armourfest … there were some amazing vehicles there. I was greatly saddened when the Panzer was made unable to fire. I think it would have been absolutely magical to see it fully alive and roaring. That said, I understand. Governments do what they do. I’ve visited other museums where hand held weapons from previous wars had been rendered inoperable as well. Painful, but it is what it is. Keep up the amazing work! I’m eagerly awaiting the next project!.

    I salute you craftsmen. When you see the thickness of the armour and the amount of force required to bend and flatten it, The force required to bend it was fantastic. Considering that back in the war days tank guns were considerably smaller than now. with most being 75 >> 85 mm. if the tank that you were in was hit the shockwave would most probably have either killed you or left you very injured.

    The time work and dedication to assemble this piece of lost history is incredible, these two men brought back something that would have been never been seen again except in pictures, they are truly the masters of their craft, their patience and precision in bringing this tank back to life is a testimony to the human spirit and the things we can achieve if we only believe that we can do it.!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I don’t believe there will ever be another war where production across all industry is focused on war the way is was in ww2. The amount of equipment built between all the nations involved is mind blowing and a good amount of it was completely destroyed.
    And this was designed and built without computers, using paper drawings and math and it just worked. 🤯

    That's amazing lads, I've seen the one that was in London years ago, the sides cut open so you could see inside, it's an impressive vehicle when you see it up close, the one in London had x3 holes shot through the back end and you could put your hand through and feel how thick the armour is. What struck me was that with all the armour the force of the shape charge warhead that punched through must of been massive quite sobering when you realise that there probably was men inside when it happened....

    You guys should get some heavy duty metal sections for the museum shop. Worth having when you want to pull metal into place, like at 11:22. A press is great, but nothing beats the precision you can get by forcing a piece of metal with wedges, to go where you want. Seriously worth the greens to have such materials about that won't even wink when forcing others of smaller size to move.

    I have been in the huge museum in Cairns and I marvelled of its collection in hours wandering around so many incredible to see in reality things that you only see in fotographs and old news reels. It is my favorite atraction in Cairns, hands down.
    At first I thought that there was a factory somewhere in the world making new reproductions of these machines of old wars for museums around the world. Because they look to good and completed to be the real things.
    But now after watching this incredible video of restoring this tank from bits and pieces collected over many years following original drawings, I am trully in awe.
    This is a fantastic job.
    I got a lot of joy watching it.
    Thank you for existing and doing such a well done job building your incredible collection.

    I’ve asked before and I’ll ask until I get graced with an answer. Let’s say you receive the side of a tank hull that is to be used in a restoration and it has a metal projectile (non explosive) still lodged in the side. Do you remove it or restore around it?
    I remember specifically during this restoration where there was a hole that had been filled with “material” and always had the thought about what if there was a projectile still lodged in the plate
