    The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum staff exemplify the idea; "the difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes us a little while". Amazing people.

    I really hope one day you can make the EBR a runner, I'd love to see that flat engine and what it sounds like. Looking forward to the rest of the build. It would also be good if we could get an update on the StuG III, are you waiting on parts?

    Guys, you should contact the Saumur tank museum. They will be able to help you! They have contacts with the French army. There are EBRs rusting in French military camps.

    He may have had a pet dinosaur but Al is a gem and I hope you guys are downloading as much of his experience and skills as you can. Great work by the whole team as always. I'm really looking forward to seeing this interesting project as it progresses.

    An awesome episode as always. There is 2 things i would like to bring up
    1. The episode is too short. 40 mins would be nicer or 2 episodes a week. Please please please! Kurt
    2. The excitement and wonder in Darryl's eyes when going through the parts is like a kid on his first trip to a toyshop and the sheer concentration on Darryl's face as Al inparts his many years of wisdom is priceless.
    If it was at all practical and i did not live in the UK I would goto any master class these exceptional gentleman would give.
    Hey Al, Darryl, jessie, zoom masterclasses?? kurt im pretty sure you could make it happen.
    Best regards chaps cant wait for next wednesday

    When I was with the 1ere REC in France in the 80s, we had an EBR at the training area that was used in Algeria. We used it for fun with hand grenades, amongst other things. We did a fair amount of reshaping on that one. Even the French guys told us it had two steering wheels so they could run away faster.

Then I headed back next day on my own!!! This is an incredible Museum Experience!!! The staff were first class! The exhibition outstanding. Took tons of pictures. Will be back. Thank you to all the staff.

    I remember seeing a video years age on making a midlevel helmet using a sandbag on the underside while hammering on the top side to get a rounded shape. It looked like the armoire had some amount of control over the proses of making the shape. You guys are true artists, I have been amazed watching each video. Thanks.

    Wow, can’t imagine putting in all the time and money on a pile of scrap. There are still Panhard EBR 90s around for sale in decent quality condition. One just sold at auction in the U.S. recently for $28K, just needs engine work but it looks fantastic. Reminds me of the guys who “restored” the last two remaining flying B-29s. They took shot up and battered targets out of firing ranges and fixed them up - while there are at least THIRTY PRISTINE B-29s on display at various museums around the world. I guess if you’re dying to work on a beat up hulk and call it your own, it’s a hobby. But for these guys I could see the time better spent on more rare items.

    You have much equipment in your shop so I was surprised you seem to have no fullers from blacksmith section. A look around some auctions or internet sites could rectify any shortages relatively cheaply. Milling out a section in wood of your raised section stiffener and placing over heated metal would allow fuller of correct dimension to sink deformed metal to surrounding form.
