Lussonium - római kori romkert, Paks
A mai Pakshoz tartozó Dunakömlőd területén, a valamikori Duna-meder fölé magasodó Bottyán-sánc tetején helyezkednek a római katonai település, Lussonium maradványai. Az előkerült leletek alapján (ezeket a Városi Múzeumban állítják ki) valószínűsíthető, hogy a korábbi auxiliáris (segédcsapati) palánktábor is ezen a helyen állt. A kőerőd észak-déli irányú, kiterjedése 249 m, jelenlegi szélessége 30-50 m.
Lussonium - Garden of Roman Ruins (romkert), Paks
In the area of Dunakömlőd, now belonging to Paks (Hungary), Bottyán Bank once rised above the old riverbed of the Danube. On top of the bank there are the remnants of the Roman military settlement of Lussonium. The relicts exhibited in the Town Museum suggest that an earlier auxiliary palisade camp had also stood on the site. The stone fortress had a north-south orientation extending for 249 metres, the width excavated thus far is 30-50 metres.

A long time ago, I had a Pak 36, but I scrapped it several years back for parts. Now that the Wehrmacht is endlessly expanding, I felt the need to bring back this early war workhorse.
The 3,7cm Pak 36 was developed in the mid 1930s and was a very capable design for its caliber. Its light weight enabled it to be used by both airborne and mountain troops alike. However, by the time of the Invasion of France in 1940, and the arrival of tanks like the B1, the Pak 36 quickly became obsolete. Many tanks were armed with this weapon, such as the earlier Panzer IIIs, and these such tanks were inteded to be primarily tank hunters, while the Panzer IVs with the 75mm L/24 were intended to be used as fortifications destroyers. These roles switched as the Panzer III had difficulty mounting larger caliber guns, whilst the Panzer IVs were easily upgraded with longer barreled 75 milimeter guns.
The Pak 36 never fell out of use, as developments in ammunition extended its service life. Fallschirmjäger and other light units were armed with this gun up until the end of the war thanks to the Steilgrenate 41 shaped charge round, which gave the Pak 36 a massive boost in penetration power, at the expense of a sharp decrease in effective range, due to the low velocity of the round. This type of round is featured in the Band of Brothers episode "Carentan." Its distinctive feature was that it was fitted to the end of the barrel, and fired using a blank round.
From Wikipedia
Pak Nai (Chinese: 白泥) is a wetland area, partly mud-bank, surrounded by mountain ranges, in the Yuen Long District while facing the Shenzhen Bay. As the landscape works in great diversity. Pak Nai makes up the coastline as Sheung Pak Nai (上白泥) and Ha Pak Nai (下白泥) geographically.
The Pak 36 (Panzerabwehrkanone 36) was a German anti-tank gun that fired a 3.7 cm calibre shell. It was the main anti-tank weapon of Wehrmacht infantry units until mid-1941.
Hey guys! First upload in a while! Any suggestions? I am also working on a Type 95 Ha-Go.
Completely rebuilt my PaK 44 from the ground up, and this is the new, and better result. It has far more features than Version One.
Features:
- 360 degrees of gun traverse
- Wheels lift up off the ground when in firing mode. I did my absolute best to imitate the mechanism of the real one with the little space I had to work with.
- Elevation-capable, but does not stay elevated due to the weight of the gun barrel.

This nice policeman came to greet me while I had amazing time in remote fishing village of Madwaer, Kei Kecil.
Surprisingly, he asked not my motorcycle documtents or passport...he asked to take a picture of him. So, we went to this beautiful beach and that's the result :D
By the way, locals in this area do spearfishing for a living :)
If you don't believe that Kei has best beaches in Indonesia..VISIT IT ! its "just" 6 days on a ferry from Jakarta !

A relatively new design of mine which I didn't have time to post last week.
I started out by modifying my Pak 40 chassis, then duplicating it to make this. I am very happy with the result. The design is simple and I would say it captures the feeling of a Pak 38 pretty well.
