M4A1E8 Sherman Tank. Headcorn - Combined Ops 2022. Sunday 14th August 2022. Headcorn Aerodrome Kent.
This space vehicle is a Small Class Armoured Rover decked out in Classic Space livery.
Named Moon Cat, it's mainly used as a mobile research laboratory and is equipped with only one weapon, a machine gun on top (not much used actually.).
The canopy opens to expose a detailed little interior with such an assortment of retro-tech computers and equipment.
The design of the Moon Cat is neat and retro-tech at the same time.
I'm especially satisfied of the usage of the crutches as lamps protection bar. If I'm not wrong they have never been used in that way before (NPU).
I built it more than a year ago but only recently I take good pictures.
Thanks for stopping by.

Don't know what this was used for but there is a vent at the top, a drain at the bottom & an inlet / outlet at the side.
The last surviving tank landing craft used at D-Day which avoided German shelling during the landings only to sink 66 years later in a dock on Merseyside arrived in Southsea today as part of her move to a museum.
Landfall, also known as LCT 7074, was restored at the Portsmouth Naval Base in a £4.7million project and will now go on to grace Southsea Common in Hampshire in front of the D-Day Story museum.
The 194ft (53m), 300-ton vessel was one of 800 such boats which carried tanks and military supplies on to the French beaches at Normandy as part of the Allied invasion force of June 6, 1944.

But a £5million rescue operation by the Royal Navy's museum then saw her raised four years later and restored at the Portsmouth Naval Base.
Like the O-X2 Tank, this was made for a game we played at Brickfair Virginia, 2016. Working with sand blue was pretty fun, despite the parts limitations. John used this as his tank, and the gear operated elevation adjuster proved pretty useful.
Also, bit of a life update: I've been busy with college, but am still building in my spare time. John and I will have another small collab finished soon, hopefully posted within a week.
We've also been adding more tutorials our site, so check that out: www.brickbuilt.org/?cat=77

PA-4
The PA-4 started its life as the PA-3. The Army
requested the development of an even heavier tank, officially classed as a super heavy tank.
The original tank's armor was increased everyhwhere, 75/55/40 with a 80mm cast turret and by some modifications, its engine power went from 320hp to 350hp.
However, the most significant change is the main armament, a high-velocity 76.2mm L/40 naval gun that was originally an AA gun on Tongorian warships. With such powerful gun it can destroy any other tanks it might face on the battlefields, even a tank of its own class.
Karapuzhnyi tanki concept tank (shown here is a wooden mock-up).
A concept being currently researched by Tongorian engineers. It would surpass even the PA-4 in every statistics, armor, armament weight. The requirements it needs to meet:
Armor:
Hull: 130/100/90
Turret: 140/100/100
Weaponry:
107mm naval gun in a turret
several water-cooled light machine guns
The engine would be a 600hp radial engine, using the same ones as on the Shetsov Sh-3 heavy bomber. This coupled with the wide tracks would provide relatively good off-road manouverabilty and a reasonable 15km/h maximum speed. However, most of the generals think such a vehicle might not be possible currently and funding should be focused on the PA-4 and other tanks.
So there you go, all my tanks I plan to use in D&C V.
This structure at the Midhope tank firing range, north west of Sheffield, was constructed in the early 1940s to enable tanks to have the accumulated peat and mud washed off after a day on the moors. There would have been a heavy steel grille on top through which the detritus fell into the pit. The washing would have been by fire hoses. The silt would have to be dug from the pit on a regular basis. Tanks that were used on the range included Churchill, Centaur, Cromwell and Convenanter.
Here is my M2a1 medium tank.
sorry for my lack of posting lately but i have had some major builders block tank wise but I ave a lot of projects to work on now. Also the .50 cal and marine on the tank isn't meant to be accurate to the division the tank belongs to it is just to show the size of the tank. The tank never saw combat.
c&c is wellcome

Another old one from 3 years ago. I've always loved this shot. the tank traps aren't on show at the moment,but well buried under the sand ,so this one has always been a bit special for me.
Manoora station is on the now closed line from a junction at Roseworthy to Peterborough, South Australia. This broad standard gauge line reached Manoora on 21 February 1870. Passenger services ended here in January 1984 and grain trains last used this line in 2004. The station remains in increasingly decrepit condition including this water tower constructed of local stone. On the tank can still just be seen the remains of the advertising that was commonly seen on such structures in South Australia.

The CLB 75 Tank was a U.S.-produced, prototype armoured fighting vehicle built by the C.L.Best Tractor Company of San Leandro a rival of the Holt Manufacturing Company. Developed sometime between late 1916 and early 1917. The tank was widely photographed in July 4th 1917 parade in San Francisco. Only a few models were used one of which had a semi-cylindrical hull with a turret and another was similar but the hull had flat surfaces. The tanks trained with the California National Guard.

Two Cromwell tanks were "stolen" by IDF combatants from a camp of the British Army before the latter left Palestine. These two tanks of differing models took part alongside French Hotchkiss light tanks in DANY, YOAV, and HOREV Operations (1948-1949), manning crews of new immigrants from English-speaking countries.

Remote control hover tanks would pretty much be the most fun toy ever!
This started off as mainly a challenge to use some of the parts from some of the basketball sets. I then tried to see what other odd parts I could use in new ways.
This Basketball piece makes the base on which the entire thing is built around.

This 95 ton assault weapon was designed to smash thru the German Seiigfreid Line, and later was planned for the mainland invasion of Japan. Mostly designed to fight it out with concrete fortifications it was built to withstand frontal hits from any known gun of the 1940s. The 12” of frontal armor and heavy 105mm gun could have easily gone blow for blow with the German Maus or Jagdtiger super heavy tanks of the time. To put the armor in perspective it is the same thickness as many battleships. The armor came at the cost of a top speed of 8mph. It never reached the European theatre before the end of the war, and this is the only remaining tank of two completed examples of this collosul piece of WW2 design,
Very old builds, but never uploaded them to flickr. I have about thirty vehicles as of now, and I need to upload more of them.
It is doubtful that any of you remember any of my oldest designs from my time on Flickr, but I recently decided to improve an old turret design thanks to new parts over the past six years and I'm hoping to follow up with a complete tank sometime soon. This is an original turret design I first made for an armored car, and I remember how proud I was at the time. The new model shown here carries a 50 mm long-barreled high velocity anti-tank gun.

Wenn die Kritische Infrastruktur ausfällt
... von Heiko Wruck
BERICHT
Lassahn/gc. Was die sogenannte „Kritische Infrastruktur“ genau ist, weiß man, wenn sie ausfällt.
Dabei geht es nicht nur darum, ob der Pizzalieferant kommt. Die Toilettenspülung funktioniert wegen Wassermangels nicht mehr. Auch Dusche und Wasserhahn bleiben trocken. Kassen, Geldautomaten und Online-Banking – Fehlanzeige. Tanken, Heizen und die Lebensmittelversorgung fallen aus. Internetkommunikation, Smartphone, Festnetztelefone sind tot. Keine E-Mails, kein Whats App, keine SMS, kein Social Media. Vor den Häusern türmt sich der nicht abgeholte Müll. Polizei, Rettungskräfte und Behörden sind dauerhaft überbeansprucht. Krankenhäuser, Arztpraxen und Pflegeheime sind überlastet. Radio, Zeitung, Fernsehen sind nicht mehr permanent verfügbar. Und auch die Wirtschaft kommt zum Stillstand, weil Börsen, Banken und Versicherungen handlungsunfähig sind.
Für die meisten Menschen dürfte dieses Szenario ein Absturz in die Steinzeit sein. Damit genau dieses Schreckensszenario nicht in vollem Umfang wirksam wird, muss die Kritische Infratsruktur besonders geschützt werden. Das geschieht staatlicherseits. Wissenschaftler, Behören sowie staatliche/kommunale Einrichtungen gehen in Vorleistung beim präventiven Schutz von kritischen Gebäuden und Anlagen. Außerdem handelt sie in Konfliktfällen als Vor-Ort-Kräfte zur akuten Sicherung, zur Schadensbegrenzung und zum physischen Schutz Kritischer Infrastruktur. Doch damit ist es bei einer Krisenbewältigung allein nicht getan. Auch die Bevölkerung ist gut beraten, sich auf eine Krise vorzubereiten.
Wer sich auf eine Krisensituation vorbereiten möchte, kann sich an die Empfehlungen des Bundesamtes für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe halten. Die Behörde empfiehlt, Vorräte für circa zehn Tage vorzuhalten, um auf Ausfalllagen vorbereitet zu sein. Zur Vorsorge gehören:
Essen, Trinken, Gesundheit
2 Liter Flüssigkeit pro Person/ Tag
2.200 kcal pro Person und Tag
Haltbarkeit bedenken
Lagerhinweise beachten
Allergien bedenken und
Lebensmittelunverträglichkeiten
sowie Sonderbedarfe (z. B. Baby)
Haustierfutter, Einstreu, Medizin nicht vergessen
Medikamente, Verbandsmaterial
Sonderbedarfe (z. B. Inkontinenzmaterial, Verbände, Pflaster)
Bargeldreserve
Campingkocher
Müllbeutel
