I could get used to having Workshop Thursday as well as Wednesday 😂

My dad was a 'small businessman.' He used to drill us with customer service 'rules.' One was: once you've set an expectation, meet it. If you open 5 minutes early, that's the new opening time. One can dream 😉

Geez that is looking good. Great work lads. I'm sure the Germans would be impressed with how a few Aussies have restored one of their tanks!

Having a running Panzer I Ausf. B is almost as rare as a running Tiger! Aus Armour is such an amazing collection of people hell bent on restoring vehicles with true Aussie ingenuity instead of being hung up by not having the exact period correct nuts and bolts... Don't get me wrong because I love all those "matching numbers" exhibits out there, but these things are rarer than hens teeth and it's always better to display history than keeping the rusty mangled parts in a box waiting for the missing parts that don't exists?! The only sad thing is that you're so far from me... But if by chance a miracle does happen so I can travel once in my life to Australia like I've always dreamt of, you're the first place I'm visiting!!! Huge thanks for restoring and saving all this history for the next generations before it's too late. Greetings from Sweden

[@mattsa]

As an Australian who’s visited the museum in Cairns I can highly recommend it. I spent 4 hours in awesome tank and artillery heaven!

[@FrancSchiphorst]

The Overloon Museum in the Netherlands is a bit closer :)

[@OgdenTunkRR]

I love the early war tanks and would rather own this or a panzer 2 than a tiger

[@OgdenTunkRR]

Smashing job 👌👍guys ❤

[@stephencox4224]

@@FrancSchiphorst But do they have the amazing range of exhibits and stuff that actually works you can ride in like at OZ Armourfest in August I doubt it

[@Jay-zk7uw]

When I was younger it was all about the Tigers and Panthers but nowadays I get such a kick out of these early/inter war tanks. What a gorgeous job you guys have done, bravo!

[@EllisJohnstone]

Same here!

[@goodpplz123]

I’d like to think everyone here built models and GI Joe sets when they were kids and this is the grownup version. This is once again a work of art.

[@lewyocom4724]

This is model building at 1to 1 scale

[@chuckcribbs3398]

I had GI Joes as a kid in the ‘70s and then went on to build dozens of tank models! Just got back into it a few years ago.

I mean tbh welding armour together is similar to glueing armour onto a 1:72 sherman with alot more skill involved but same concept

[@Rusty_Gold85]

A hearty pat on the back for Daz and Jezza for their exemplary work on this Tank

[@tonidmc]

Love to preserve those parts with original markings. Gorgeous restoration. Congrats from Spain🎉

[@AndrewIrving-dh2hd]

Absolutely brilliant work guys .I’m a trucker in the UK.With your Workshop Wednesdays you’ve made the chore of waiting to be loaded and unloaded a joy!.Please keep up the great work 👌

[@JAMESMT-mm6zl]

Absolutely love watching people who love their jobs, work. I spend half my time going "Wow", the other half laughing. Wonderful series, thank you so much for sharing.

[@SchnelleKat]

Ah fantastic, the retrofitted diesel sounds excellent!!! Hard to believe only 6 left! I really am looking forward to the Wespe!

[@NesconProductions]

Just remarkable..! 85 years after the Blitz. Thanks for the Thursday bonus episode, best wishes to all at the The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum and those that support their efforts!

[@shed66215]

Always amazed that an assorted crate/pallet of parts and plates, wheels, suspension leaf springs etc. can be crafted & welded back together to such a high degree of detail in bringing back a little piece of history. Well done to the team.

[@shaneblack4862]

I'm actually a bit stunned by the sight of a Pz 1 Ausf B running around in Australia of all places! Even after all these years you blokes never ceasev to amaze me with the miracles you do in restoring these vehicles., And I actually saw the engine deck of this particular vehicle sitting on a pallet in the workshop on my first ever visit there back in 2018. I recognised it for what it was never thinking it would ever be part of an actual running Panzer 1, and now here it is which is just so very appropriate and just simply fantastic! Absolutely brilliant work guys 👏

[@DR-lc9qg]

As someone interested in afv from ww2 for building models, I had been a little dismissive of the Panzer 1 and 2, Grants/Lees until watching your restoration work. I will be getting models of the Panzer 1 and 2, as I already have of the Lee and Grant. Your videos are a great help to modellers and the work of restoring these vehicles is historically important. Keep up the good work.

[@jameswalshjr]

Saying the work is outstanding is just an understatement. There is such a sense of gratitude among this community for the staff at Aus Armor taking the time, putting in the effort and dedication to make these videos and sharing with us the incredible accomplishments and history of these vehicles. Thank you sincerely from a one man in the US who looks forward to Wednesday and any day we get to see the hard work the staff puts in to bring our shared history back to life. Well done.

[@jemc4276]

Absolutely beautiful result. What an incredible restoration/rebuild. It's so satisfying watching two complete metal working master craftsmen like Darryl and Jesse bringing these machines back to life. As an amateur military historian and enthusiast I cannot say enough how much I enjoy this channel. And a BIG thank you to Kurt for bringing these rebuilds to us each week. 👏👏 🥰

[@lordlapswans]

Seeing Darryl so happy makes my day ! Wonderfull work fella's !!!

[@kalnieminen65]

You guys pulled off a real winner. Love seeing these come back to life after so many decades

[@anderoo9260]

Looks absolutely stunning. Incredible of what you were able to do with the original parts, and the newly manufactured ones really do fit in nicely.

[@YoboiLy]

Just like straight out of the factory, fresh. Very nice!

[@FrancisFjordCupola]

If you had told Hitler in the 1930's that his ... ahem, finest panzers would be constructed in Australia in the 2020's, I'm sure he would envision it far differently than as was shown in the video.

[@YoboiLy]

Guys, you're awesome! What you create on wheels and tracks, practically from nothing, is incredible! I love watching your videos because your work is so great! 👍👍👍

[@colinham9148]

So nice to see a mark 1 panser. I don't believe the Bovington tank museum has one, but when l last visited two years ago they had not. Glad you have one in your collection, it could not be any further from it's original location of Germany now. Considering how many were made originally not many survived ww2.

[@penchant4]

Shermans and Tigers and Panthers, oh my! But this, hands down is the stunner. Magnificent work, Gentlemen, MAGNIFICENT!! Wish I could get to see it first hand, as it is certain to be even better than the already excellent videos. Have a grand Oz Armor Fest. Love the outro music; but hate hearing it, as it means the end of an episode is imminent.

Beautiful job by a group of extremely talented professionals rebuilding and preserving history while not trying to rewrite it. Great Job boy’s keep up the great work. Wish I could come and visit and shake your hands, but it is a little far and expensive from D.C. to the beautiful land down under.

[@johnnapier8192]

What a fabulous job! Looks like it just rolled off the production line! Well done! A considerable number of these vehicles were destroyed with crew fatalities in Poland! It should really have remained a training vehicle only, but the Panzer Corps needed them to make up the numbers! Imagine having to drive through an artillery barrage or a hail of anti-armour rifle bullets never mind an anti armour shell, with only the thin Panzer I armour for protection!

[@snipermart]

What a great little tank! I could get that in my garage
