how do we deal thin pruning? Well, with many hours of work

We try to visualize the scene from ground level, meaning we crouch down or even stretch out to see the perspective from the tanks view and what will be seen from the cameras the tanks will carry, and we then match what we see so that the trees look as close to scale as possible.
The maintenance of the panzodrom takes up almost all of our working hours.
so, good luck!

best regards

Heya chaps

I've been away for a while, I was run over intentionally and had both hands hurt with profound wounds. But this do not mean that the works at the Panzodrom had been stopped! Only that I cannot work too much because of the pain, so... piano piano si arriva lontano!

Just in case, I will post now a few pics that were taken in the past two meetings

as always, first of all, Saturday's night fever



















































































some unsuspecting sherman tanks... try to find the cat in ambush!



better?







We found an inhabitant under some leaves, so I had to redirect her to a safer place









and the usual family foto



the next works on the Panzodrom will be installing the positions bases fixed in place with concrete

here the layout



the first 88 will be located here



some changes have been made to the bridge after 10 years, a lot of poles were broken and the chains also, so I put steel ones (try to break those ones now...) and We also added some new streetlights to the bridge

and the results (don't mind the cold white light under the bridge, it has been already swapped to a warm one)














thanks for watching

best regards!

Jussek: your photos are stunning, as is always so. I am envious of your fun, but most of all happy that you are getting together for such fun with friends.

I am a bit concerned about this sentence: "I was run over intentionally and had both hands hurt with profound wounds." Certainly I am hoping your hands heal completely without your suffering any lasting loss of dexterity or any lasting pain. But then, too, might "intentionally" be instead "unintentionally"?

Heya chaps

Thank you very much Herr Professor!

I'm afraid the sentence is correct. I was involved in a road discussion with other vehicle, she (yes, it was a woman) hit me from behind on purpose, only bumper to bumper, so plastic on plastic and very lightly, so i stopped and got out of the car. She then stepped back a few meters to have clearance and went my way. I had time only to jump up, so I ended over the engine hood of an enormous Mercedes 4W, holding on to what I could, that is, the windshield wiper. She accelerated and after a few meters the wiper broke and I fell off, luckily from the side. I had both hands teared open from the wiper. So all in all 28 stitches, this was in November, and I can't use my hands yet like before.

thanks for your concern about my health mate!

best regards

Jeez Mr Jussek thats a hell of a life story
I trust the judiciary has found a nice place for her to stay with a view through bars.
Only silver lining is your mates get to do the heavy lifting while you recover and drink on light duties!!

Ohmygosh! That's a remarkable and sad story. I am sorry this happened to you.

About twenty years ago, I was crossing a downtown Milwaukee (Wisconsin US) street on the way to the symphony. The street I was crossing was stopped by a red traffic light, and a walk sign showed clear permission to walk for me. A young woman drove up to the light, looked to her left for cross traffic, and without stopping at all, made a right turn (legal after a full stop, but not when a pedestrian is in front of one's car). I saw the trouble, jumped and rolled over her car's hood (bonnet) and onto the ground on the opposite side of the car. My wife let out a classic movie scream. The young woman in the car never stopped, but drove off. I was fine, albeit a bit soiled by street slop.

heya guys

thanks mate!

it was the first time several of those positions saw the daylight and were used, after sooooo many years

there are 5 more sockets still to be embedded, and then we will plant several trees in between
