Workshop Wednesday - JAGDPANTHER RESTORATION Ep. 1

[@jb6668]

The Tiger series was awesome. So I'm happy to see that you guys are covering these two restorations from scratch. As an aside, whoever supplies you with welding rods is probably in the process of ordering a new yacht right about now.

[@johnoneill5661]

Spot on 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣

[@centurion2185]

Thanks for preserving this history for the world. My friend is visiting his son from New York, NY to Australia where his son has lived as an Australian citizen for decades. I suggested he visit your museum , I know I would.

[@benmccarthy5010]

This is Fantastic..... And in Australia.... Make a TV Series and I'd watch it!

[@andrewdowns3403]

Only nine minutes long , you could go for several hours , and we would be happy to watch

[@thierry2357]

Hello, you really do a fantastic job, I am looking forward to seeing the other episodes, younger I lived in a well-known place of the Battle of Normandy in Argentan in the Orne (France) and I spent my youth (1980) in the famous "pocket of Falaise" where the German army was surrounded by allied troops. I had the opportunity to visit the Trun dump where many tanks and tank parts had been stored after war a real cave of Alibaba. It happened to me at the time to make excavations in the Dive court of water that the Germans had to cross to escape the encirclement there were all kinds of small materials of the German army but also big ones one day we took out of the water a tripod Lafette for Mg 34 heavy machine gun. Mg 42. I am now 55 years old and I am still as interested in the Second World War and especially the German tanks also when I discovered your chain I confess my surprise to see you restore all these tanks. For me it is a duty to remember to keep all these vehicles. Good luck to the whole team.

[@leopoldthedigger7062]

Wow, the jagdpanther is going to be a great piece in your collection! Excited to see more.

[@sqr2024]

Why not make it run?

[@richardbonnet2713]

@@sqr2024 i know these Maybach engines they used in most of their tanks like the Tiger, Panther and Jagdpanther ect are extremly rare and even more rare finding one that can be turned into running condition. And i can imagine finding all the internal parts like gearbox, radio units, seats ect are even harder to find and would be extremly pricey. Making them would cost insane amount of money and time. That why most musea just stick to static display tanks. There are exception like the late co founder from microsoft he had a collection of tanks and he turned a Panther that was blown up and landed in a river in Poland into a mint running condition with all the internal parts to a prime example to near perfection but he had to time and money to make that happen. Sadly he passed away and most of his collection including the Panther ended up in different musea in the U.S.

[@darthgeoff2011]

Man I wish I could be working there looks like an amazing job bringing the old beasts alive again

[@SmallStudiosCGI]

I love this series. So awesome, would love to see longer episodes!

[@N0rf0lk0]

Love what you're doing guys! And in my backyard 🇦🇺. Super impressed.

[@udondave]

This is Christmas come early boys - please keep these vids coming. They're a great watch

[@Sh4dow682]

Best tank museum in Australia! especially being a private collection

[@robertmorey4104]

Nice work and attention to detail. How fun to "make your own" Jagdpanther. I really liked the Tiger series. Keep em coming and thanks from a tank nut.

[@moistmike4150]

Moving all those heavy parts all the way from Europe down to Aussie-Land must've been an enormous undertaking! Thank you for all the amazing work an attention to detail in restoring these wonders of engineering and martial history!

[@justinreilly6619]

Such an interesting first part to this series, although concentrating on bolts, I am just fascinated by all the care and attention that Daryl and company are putting into all the details. As others have said, I could watch far longer episodes on your restoration projects. Best wishes to you all, I look forward to next week's episode. 👌

[@yattaran1484]

This series of videos are just Amazing !. I am so lucky to find this Channel !

[@morstyrannis1951]

It would be interesting to watch a video on the starting point of the project. What was the condition of the Jagdpanther when it first arrived and what's the story on how it came to Australia?

[@pbloomy9792]

Yes please! Also, can you show what parts you have got. A bit more of an overview would be excellent. Subscribing now and looking forward to the rest of the series.👍

[@stevechewning7741]

I would love to see what you started with. I get the impression it was a collection of plate

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

Looks like another fantastic project, can't wait to see the next instalment!

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

Coming alone nicely, eagerly awaiting the next part!

[@davidlatimore5423]

You guys do an amazing job restoring these beasts from the past. I'm am looking forward to seeing this Jagdpather. It is definitely one of my favourite WW2 tank destroyers.

[@RobertJohnson-gi3sl]

Much respect to your efforts and many thanks for sharing, to those all over the world that may never be able to see in person. Godspeed.

[@CN7810-X]

even if not many people are interested i will always be interested in these German restorations :) please never stop uploading

[@paulkremastiotis6296]

Many thanks to u guys bringing back restoring these exotic machines close to us so we can marvel right here in our land...ur on my bucket list whenever I head to Queensland and specifically Cairns

[@appsstore11]

Bein a precision engineer myself I can appreciate the work more than anyone what you guys do,I wish I lived in Australia and not the UK I'd love to help with this work it be awesome :)

[@markymark3au]

Another great video, thanks. It is incredible to see such an assortment of incredibly rare German armour in Australia. Should be good boost for Tourism in NQ, too. I am certainly going to visit.

[@brianjohnstone2922]

i am so glad i found these restorations,and the channel in general,awesome content guys,such a high quality retorations,just watched the grant be completed,incredible,thank you all. love it

[@alexandermarken7639]

The work you guys do is literally world class. From what little I know the Littlefield collection was probably the only other private collection doing the restoration and preservation work your are doing.

[@terrysmith4831]

Check out the Wheatcroft Collection in England.

[@Rich77UK]

It doesn't matter what side you where on (I'm a Brit and a grandson of a British desert tanker during ww2, living in Germany) you have to admire the engineering and assembly skills used in war time to develop these machines.

[@johnoneill5661]

More and longer videos please. I could happily watch these for days 👍

[@fireabend_1226]

good start, I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

[@speckledjim_]

Moving that kind of metal in those temperatures is nothing short of heroic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@suspiciouspenguin8789]

I love to see these workshop skills put to use. Too many people on YT seem to think 3D printing is the only way to make things nowadays. Very nice!

[@ned900]

superb. Metalwork for days. Nice bolts.

[@jimincairns]

An excellent presentation; the finished project will be a great addition to your amazing collection

[@Psych02K]

I feel this channel is designed to lure me to Australia...

[@theoturner1137]

This museum is my biggest motivator for visiting Australia.

[@jimincairns]

The Armour and Militaria museum is two klicks from my house!

[@adriangoede7433]

Absolutely awesome.

[@landm9446]

I'll be up there with mates mid July, the excitement is real.

[@iainburgess8577]

ATD defines a good craftsman from a bad one. I was in a different line of work, but watching a tradeperson open up when you show some interest in the details of their work brings back memories. Loved the sections on the smaller processes, it highlights the ATD of the whole project & the commitment to the history, the age, the preservation of Every piece.

[@darthimperious8661]

Absolute madlads are building a jagdpanther from scratch. BRAVO SIRS

[@ct92404]

Even though this was from the other side, I love to see antique machines being restored. Great work! History must be preserved.

[@peterrobinson7187]

Fantastically interesting stuff, thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work with both the restoration and filming.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Thanks for these awesome build series!

[@JDnBeastlet]

Awesome episode! Brave fellas rooting through parts in the Australian outdoors - I'd be worried about the creepy crawlies!

[@Ian-mj4pt]

Been binge watching these and rewatching some ive seen passing the time whilst wind blowing and raining buckets outside freezing cold but I'm nice and cozy. Love it

[@markbehr88]

Fantastic job. Loving the channel.

[@trevortaylor5501]

A couple years back someone who owned a jagdapanther fired it's main gun for the first time since the war, was insane. Couldn't imagine be inside the tank. It was 2005 in England, Vince Abbott on youtube has the video. Worth a watch. Great job guys.

[@vasopel]

yes but those were blanks,and the gun didn't even recoil :-(

[@trevortaylor5501]

@@vasopel Best we got so far, do better!

[@vasopel]

@@trevortaylor5501 why wait for me? You do it! :-)

[@trainstrains1]

I'd be interested, like a lot of people apparently to know the background of these vehicles. How intact was it when you started? Where did it come from? Where do you get the parts? What's its history? The story behind something is just as important as its preservation.

[@lucyenzed102]

Only just caught on to this series… just mega, chaps - loving what you’re doing!! Have been to Bovington and Saumur; have got to get to Cairns!!

[@waynesmith4923]

These guys have incredible skills and are great fabricators and problems solvers. I genuinely enjoy seeing the work they do

[@zaynevanday142]

My Great Grandfather was in Command of a New Zealand Infantry Battalion during the defence of Crete where he earned a Mention in Despatches (My Grandfather served as a Private in the same Battalion but was captured on Crete) after his evacuation he was sent back to New Zealand to help create and start the New Zealand Armoured Corps Lt Col D.

[@ricardoreis7298]

Great vid, thanks for sharing!

[@Pazuzu6]

Id so watch a live feed of your shop. Amazing work. I discovered your channel with the Stug resto/rebuild. Hello from El Paso,Texas. I am a former M1A1 Crewman, 93-02

[@danielpullum1907]

Great work/love.

[@Zombine45]

Amazing work, was up there from melb in 2018, phenomenal place. So many vehicles have been added since i was last there, absolutely cannot wait to come back once covid has calmed down.

[@stephenparkes626]

Could the videos be longer about an hour would be about right for such a amazing subject.

[@gernaneering]

Your doing fantastic work restoring and showing us these beautiful German armour from ww2, this particular version was probably Germanys most deadly version of all the Stug types vehicles, and possibly equally the Nashorn. 👍👍👍😊

[@charlesemerson6763]

Awesome guys.

[@johnimmins7302]

Can't get enough of this channel, pity I am in the UK or I would be there.👍

[@crumantapete8156]

Where did you find the parts? Overall extremly interesting!!

[@jasonclark8578]

Awesome work

[@spandecker727]

Thanks for creating this new series!!!

[@tommytaylor4458]

Look forward to every Wednesday video!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@angelsone-five7912]

God I envy you guys. Great stuff, roll on.

[@bretteballantine2596]

You should do a episode on ww2 tools and tank jacks restore

[@petercliff4023]

Didn't want the Tiger series to end.. now there are two more restoration series, JagdPanther & Stug 3.. Tremendous! Just wish the videos were longer (lol).

[@MichaelBrown-dv1pm]

Luv it one of my fave tank destroyers far prettier than the stug and more lethal.....

[@bradlocke1924]

Awesome work guys. I wish the episodes were longer.

[@colvinator1611]

A very interesting video along with its presentation.This is real history preservation and you're all doing a great job. Thankyou, Colin, Wakefield UK.

[@MGB-learning]

Great video! Can't wait to see more.

[@thurin84]

love the attention to detail! well done boys!

[@dirtyd2316]

Excited to see this as the Jagpanther is my favorite tank destroyer.It sucks you can’t restore it to a runner but understand that parts aren’t easy to come by.

[@kiwifruit27]

Love the new series, great to see the channel growing

[@kiwifruit27]

I saw an interview with Kevin Wheatcroft and he said he has around 100 maybach engines that he bought when they were cheap and no one was buying them. Maybe he would sell you one for the Tiger 1. The interview was with the guy from World of Tanks on his personal KZbin channel

[@haroldhadradi8763]

Coka cola is excellent at lifting rust. It's the combination of mild acidity, and the fizzing.

[@philipryan25]

Hi from Ireland 👍 great to see this from start to finish.

[@crunchytheclown9694]

The big red spanner works wonders, thankyou for your posts

[@TheHateSpeechChannel]

Thanks for uploading these, very cool to see.

[@derekpost3395]

Just found this channel.. Amazing work.. I'm slowly working my way thru all the episodes. Not sure if you are already doing it or if its an idea. But the museum should sell of the unusable pieces and parts from the varies tanks and etc. I'd be interested in original scrap pieces .. Great fundraiser!! Ie.. small chunk of original tiger tank.. with certification of authenticity from your museum .. say $25-50 plus shipping.. It's common in the aircraft world ... Thank you again!!

[@ianwilliams9068]

Keep up the good work. Look forward to future Workshop videos. Again, great work.

[@skooistra1766]

Great work gents. Keep em coming. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@stuartash8151]

Amazing work, I look forward in watching your progress.

[@wboquist]

Great channel! It's really interesting to see what goes into a restoration.

[@dawor1761]

Would you be interested in a very rare, pedestal mounted, German made, 1943, Flak 88? Might I add, with very light rust and original paint!

[@nzmonsterman]

Wow, fantastic. Well done guys. I really enjoy your videos. ❤

[@Marshal976]

Thanks for the update!

[@billevans7936]

Nifty....!!

[@simonrooney7942]

Looking great team, keen to see if it is an early or late model Jagdpanther and of course the chassis number, which tells which unit it fort with.

[@ArnoSchmidt70]

Looks more like building a new old tank than a restoration.

[@wizardtowergames]

Question. For static displays, why not just fabricate a new one, shell only. You can make the plate, probably cheaper and faster? I know you want to keep the historical aspect alive, but for a non runner, painted etc. Would not that option be more ideal?

[@tjm7275]

Gday Mates, greeting from New York. I use saw the tiger series yesterday and subscribed. My only complaint is “make them longer”😃 as Norm said will watch. Maybe do videos like the Tank museum in Bovington UK does. I’ll probably never make it to Australia again so let’s see more please... great job though fellas

[@timothywood4402]

Great job guys.Totally awesome video. More please..:)

[@PanzerBuyer]

Another great episode!

[@clausbohm9807]

I can't help but think how well these guys would survive in the Mad Max world ...!!!😅
