Workshop Wednesday - JAGDPANTHER RESTORATION Ep. 13

[@RLhole68]

Simple answer is yes I would love to see more work from the outstanding crew at AusArmour. It is my regret that I have very little chance to ever see that wonderful collection in person. But I have not missed an episode you all have posted once I found the channel. So thank you all for the hard work and for sharing it with us.

[@paulsilva3346]

I AGREE.!

[@philipbowry9341]

Yes What he said.

[@Snuffaluffagis]

remarkable work, and I'd love to see it in person .

[@evo5349]

Great work team it's shows what the German tankers and maintenance teams had too do on the battle field, to a nice concreate floor and lifting of a Tiger tank turret was 16 ton or a engine. Seen a picture of a French farmer who had a new panther tank optics made by Zeiss I think in it's box, all ready to go into a tank all shiny.

[@quietudinal4857]

Yes that's what I was thinking. All the mud, wire, vegetation had to be cleaned away before repairs could be done. In winter solid ice compacted dirt as well. I hestitate to mention the smells and human remains my father told me about in workshops in the desert when battle damaged tanks were opened up for repairs after transport to base repairs. He said only poorly paid civilian contractors (Wogs he called them) would do the initial interior cleaning.

[@1chish]

You are absolutely right to say this is a celebration of the design, engineering and manufacturing abilities of ordinary Germans in factories. To marvel at a superb piece of engineering does not in any way glorify the regime that produced it. Just the people that actually cut, turned and machined metal.

[@fatcat3211]

Great work on bringing back such a rare vehicle from history.

[@Roulandus-le-Fartere]

Can't wait to see it up close next weekend! If those wire tow ropes get used just once in the field they stretch about 200mm-400mm as the wire weaving tightens. That's why the factory routing is rarely seen on in-use vehicles, and why the factory routing is so tight.

[@allanrichards3752]

Yes please. I watch your videos more than once, they are captivating and very informative. Congratulations to all involved in this restoration work and the excellent filming.

[@Blitz9H]

You made the tracks look easy. All I could think of was my Grandfather telling me tanks don’t pinch, they get ahold of you they take what they want! Keep up the excellent work!! Thank you!

[@Gambitt1970]

Loved the summary at the end. Really enjoyed watching this from day one. Great job guys and gals!

[@alexandermccarthy]

Truly a testament to the enduring quality of German engineering being brought back to life by modern craftsmen. A huge thank you to Daz and Jess, and yes, a featurette of the entire build would be amazing.

[@peterhilton7211]

Seeing the finished Jagdpanther made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, a truly amazing job don’t think anybody else could of done it better.

[@patricknoveski6409]

Yes please 🙏 More of these. This was an amazing trip with da boys. Incredible outcome. Aussie spirit. Thank you !

[@JackKlemeyer]

I so look forward to these videos! Well done!

[@ce69sscamaro]

The wizards of Oz Armour do it again! 👏

[@qcsorter4626]

Astonishing attention to detail and to historical accuracy! There is something so refreshing about seeing master craftsmen in action.

[@thomasbaldauf4967]

Congrats to the whole team - words can not express how deeply I am impressed by this masterpiece.

[@tdb7992]

I was so surprised when I discovered your museum is up in Cairns. I honestly thought that with such an amazing collection and skilled crew, you must be part of a national museum in Canberra rather than a privately owned museum. I'm so grateful to you guys for bringing these old tanks to the other side of the Earth and restoring them so professionally so that us Aussies can admire them and learn from them. You and your museum are a solid asset to the nation and one day I'll have to fly over from Perth to visit. Thank you for all your hard work! Bloody good job guys.

[@pepi9429]

Once you see the freshly painted Jagdpanther as a scale model, you can't unsee it.

[@Grant80]

When you see the amount of work that we need to bringing this beast back to life, it truly is amazing. How the hell the Germans did it in back in 1940s 😊

[@morstyrannis1951]

Amazing work. The museum should be very proud of what’s been done to restore this exhibit.

[@curtshelman5757]

Well done. Very well done.

[@theejectionsite1038]

I would definitely like to see the 'Director's Cut' version! Besides the absolutely incredible work on the restoration give yourself a pat on the back for the video work. The two wizards did magic and they deserve accolades for the effort! The Jagdpanther is one of my favorite vehicle design and this resurrection is mind boggling given what they had to work with!

[@davidbotto7312]

Love to see this amazing place. Maybe The Chieftain or Sofilien cane make the trip.

[@paulorchard7960]

Looks a million bucks guys, probably worth more though!😁👍

[@ant5941]

Ive been to Bovington, Samur, Aberdeen and AusArmour twice. Not to mention other smaller museums around the world. AusArmour might not have the biggest collection but these videos give me a greater personal attachment to AusArmour, the vehicles and the team than any of the others put together. It would be great if you could set up a viewing area of the workshop so that we can wander outside and see the gang at work. You get glimpses inside the workshop but I'd love to see it in action if there is a way that it could be done without bothering the workers. Great work gang, every time you finish a vehicle, I want to make the trip up to see the machine I saw the videos on.

[@frostedbutts4340]

Yeah I've been to other museums that have a window or walkway over the restoration area, and they were a popular thing to watch

[@10947792]

Greetings from the USA. I found this exceptional channel 2 days ago and I sacrificed productivity at my day job yesterday and today to watch all 13 episodes of the Jagdpanther restoration. The channel, the museum and the restoration / video crews are second to none. Although visiting Australia is on my bucket list, I’m not sure if I will ever have the opportunity to visit your beautiful country but if in do, your museum and its mind blowing collection of vehicles will be on the top of my list. The Mrs can go see that opera house thing in Sydney but I know that I’ll be coming to experience the really important place…..your museum! The quality of work and the lengths to which the team goes to make things (literally from scratch) historically accurate is beyond compare. My next video series will be the Stug and the Tiger episodes will shortly follow. Thank you so much for saving the vehicles from becoming rust, thanks for preserving and displaying them and thanks for documenting the process so a life long tank / armored vehicle nerd a half world away can watch and share the experience. You guys ROCK!!!!

[@glenngosline3303]

You guys would make a German workshop company proud. True craftsman.

[@BoxxArt]

Thanks for the whole 30 SECONDS of final reveal. It really was worth sitting though ALL those ADVERTS for.... ALL of them.

[@NWSquatch121]

You guys are saving history. GREAT WORK!!

[@DaiElsan]

Stupendous work. Watching you guys create this beast of a machine out of a pile of scrap is just mind blowing. This has to be the go to channel for restoration work on military vehicles. The work is second to nine. Please bring us another ground up restoration, there is nothing else like it. Congratulations on a job well done. 😍😍😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍

[@appsstore11]

I want to come from the UK in person to see this collection,one day I will...

[@asterixdogmatix1073]

You have the Bovington Tank Museum as a very suitable substitute!

[@Juan_Doooh]

A true work of art and the ultimate 3D puzzle. They are a highly talented crew.

[@Mirkon177]

Now you need to give this beauty an old-fashioned german female name! Something like Ursula, Helga, Inge, Gerda, Ilse, Edith, Lisbeth, Elfriede, Gertrud... She really deserves a name! Greetings from Germany, thank you all!! 👍🙂

[@mazambaan]

Yes....... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s Kurt ...... you've really put the Musuem on the map now .....USA 🇺🇸

[@lynnewilliams6659]

Daryl, Jesse, you are amazing. I thank you so very much for this wonderful video because I've always wondered how the tracks are installed, and what they run on. This is a great educational for me and I appreciate you so much. Danke!That's alot of precision work, too. Beautiful tank.

[@geraldmiller5232]

you guys are awesome. the germans built it but you saved it. you are not only engineers but caring people.

[@Clandaries]

At the end i had tears in my eyes. Thank you so much. Greetings from Germany.

[@awarti]

The most stylish armor of the Second World War. Perhaps the most beautiful in the history of armor. Looks killer! Thanks for a very interesting project and videos. Greetings from a Finn. 😎👍🇫🇮

[@gusgone4527]

Following this all the way through has been a true pleasure. Not simply for the amazing vehicle but also the characters and their stalwart dedication. Thank you lads and lasses.

[@thomaslucia6819]

It's amazing to see these tanks get rebuilt It's like there rolling off the factory floor for the first time in front of our eyes

[@lenlooksback7981]

Finest vehicle of the war, in all respects. Period.

[@f1matt]

Would 100% watch a JagdPanther super cut.

[@JoeyWebber955]

Static display or not ,,,,, that is a thing of beauty . Well done guy !

[@nathanrohrlach1221]

Since the start of the Jagdpanther series until now, Workshop Wednesday has been a highlight of my week. Truly amazing work. Well done to all involved and thank you for bringing us along in the journey too. And yes, a featurette would be wonderful to see, but in your own time, we can wait until then. See you next Wednesday

[@chriswaldron2617]

To see this more from a static display, to a Jagpanther brought back to life in all its rumbling behemoth beauty, would be awesome.

[@peterfinn1160]

What a beauty! Those two guys were real professionals, who made a load of scrap metal into a spectacular 'war machine.'

[@garylawless3608]

A monumental effort by dedicated and skilled tradesmen brings this vehicle back from a pile of scrap, to a beautifully restored part of history. I have watched the restoration process of the Jagdpanther from the beginning, and while I am amazed at the job that the team has done, I can only guess at the feeling of achievement the team must feel now that it is now on display. I for one, would love to see a video of all the episodes in one screening. Keep up the great work guys!

[@grahamwer]

I had the absolute pleasure of attending armourfest 2022 on Saturday and it was well worth the cost of getting there from the other side of the country , I`ll be back when the Tiger and the Jagdpanzer are running , too all the crew a huge well done and keep up the great work.

[@paulkilllins954]

I am in awe of the craftsmanship and historical resarch that you all do. Keep on!

Absolutely brilliant. Well done everyone who took part in this restoration. And thank you for sharing this journey.

[@Rich77UK]

Excellent work chaps. One of the best looking tanks ever imho. The engineering in 1941 was cutting edge and without much documented now you have done an amazing job in recreating the missing parts and making it look as good as it did 70 years ago.

[@tannerjones9687]

Yes please 👍

As a builder of 1/35th WWII Models it was incredible to watch this series to be a real version. I’m looking forward to watching another rebuild series. Keep Modeling.

great project, thanks for letting us be a part of it. Greetings from Germany

[@TheKimmer1969]

Full length cut of this series, Yes please...!👍

[@lordbyron8927]

It would be amazing to do an episode on how you find and aquire your exhibits and how you find original parts. Great material.

[@armin1971]

Also from me a big thank you for all these hard work. I nearly shared a tear in the final camera moves... For me it´s almost a obeisance for the men who served in these machines and often gave their life. Here in Germany most of the people look back in history and just entitle them all as "Nazi´s". So sad to see. Thanks again for you guys to keep a little (well a heavy little) of our history alive.

[@markstone5597]

Flipping beautiful piece of machinery baby! I about pissed myself!

Outstanding - well done, all of you but in particular Daryl and Jesse. I started life as a Centurion driver onto Chieftain as Troop Sgt and finally finished my 14 years in The Royal Hussars(PWO) introducing Challenger 1 to the British Army on the Rhine.

I have watched every episode from the UK. We have Bovington here, but if anything tempts me to Australia, its your museum. Yes to a full length featurette, I know this is a lot of time and effort to produce and I am happy to pay towards the costs of producing it. I support the Tank Museum as a Patreon, but I am truly impressed with your work and level of professionalism.
