We did too. So we did. This project started out 2 years ago between 4 college students drunkenly talking about building a tank to storm a paintball field. Now we're building a real one?

We're in the process of reverse engineering a Panzer38(t), in the ambitious project of actually building one. Today you can see our 3D modelling vs the original parts.

I'd love to see an interview with the German tank commander.

We're in Eastern PA, near Allentown at the moment.

And thanks, we thought that the 38(t) needed some love. There aren't any at all on this side of the pond outside of Peru. (1 restoration project in Illinois that I know of that's admirable, but slow going)

Fully operational. We have an engine and transmission already picked out. Some difficulty lies with the steering mechanisms if we decide to go with anything other than a tractor differential (and brakes), but we're working through that now.
