RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Ok Gang ... recent events has brought the BUCKET... up for discussion
Why the BUCKET
Where do you put the BUCKET
Who's idea was it to put a BUCKET
What is the right kind of BUCKET .....

Just to cover my own rear end on the subject...none of my tanks have them because my crews opt for canvas collapsible BUCKETS




Happy Tanking Gents

Actually Sponge... I've seen it pointed out before... "not having a BUCKET" ...But it never occurred to actually ask the reason for the BUCKET...thought it was a club thing....but thanks to Boggle ... the trend for the BUCKET... has turned into a quest for reason for the BUCKET ....sort of

LET THE BUCKET LIST BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just the one Bucket at the moment hanging off the back of a Panzer4, I have no plans for any on my Tigers as in my considered opinion the amount of money I have spent on them they must surely have internal plumbing! I am still working on the fitted carpets. shaun

Ahhhh BUT lads,,,has anyone got a Golden Bucket,,,the Daddy of all Buckets?
I thought all buckets were painted white and that's why they all look Pale to me.
None of my tanks have buckets but i have ordered one i just for the life of me don't know why but i think it has something to do with Painless and his aid in bucket crime,,,ALPHA

Or is it just because you can now scratch the item off the BUCKET list

Well Jack.................There's a rumored directive that all German tanks must have a BUCKET don't know what where who or why... so trying to find out
Now if no one really comes in with a logical answer...well that means there really is no need for a BUCKET... and it's just some kind of decorative measure of detail

Yes ALPHA i agree but think about this
there are thousands of forum members out there and even more that just pop in and look on the site and yet many have chosen to stay silent on this subject.
Now i have to ask,,,,why is that?
Are there secret bucket owners out there?
If so,why would a bucket be secret?
I have so many questions regarding the bucket like
Who said a bucket has to "Dangle"?
Where was the first bucket used and by who?
Did the allied forces have buckets and if so were they the same shape,size and colour as German buckets?
What was in the bucket?,,,,no,don't answer that.

I did find this http://ezinearticles.com/?A-Brief-Histo ... id=7182211 but i fear it answers none of the above questions and i fear that the bucket question will remain one of the biggest mystery's of this forum and of ww2.

Edit
I just found this http://www.blitz72.com/2011/08/scratchb ... ww2-tanks/ omg there are even sites showing how scratch build buckets,,,,,
