[@StuSaville]

Good to see the project on track

[@dukeoftoast2420]

lmao

[@2Dads68]

Wheelie good pun

[@thurin84]

i see what you did there.

[@leccybadger]

Here's your coat........😂

[@mynameisrufusdude]

Tanks for the laugh

[@gagasmancave8859]

Great to see the lil panzer running and OMG Workshop Thursday tomorrow

[@craigs5562]

Trackday Thursdays? Replacing tracks or just taking vehicles for a spin.

[@scipioafricanus4328]

Fantastic! Looks a bit like an unpainted Matchbox kit with the bright two tone colouring!

[@robertsmart4628]

Definitely the best job in the world.

[@kevinOdell-n5j]

Agreed, this would be my dream job.

[@ericbrainard4072]

Once again, ingenuity and practical skills making a seemingly impossible project look easy. Well done gentlemen.

[@davidmartyn5044]

Just watched 20min video of track fitting. Time well spent!

[@davidshanahan5134]

Now you know how to do it when you restore a tanklet.

[@davidmartyn5044]

@@davidshanahan5134 Ha, must get on. I`m gettin the look from the neighbours.

[@nicolapellegrino1072]

Watching Workshop Wednesday is always time well spent. 😁

[@OgdenTunkRR]

Yes, indeed I wish this show was two hours long 👍

[@gusgone4527]

Actually doing it for real is strangely therapeutic.

[@RobertKubas]

It is nice seeing the baby going for A walk and some fresh air.

[@roqford]

Its very enjoyable to see how pile of parts changing into piece of living history, moving on own power in bonus. Thank's for giving us closer look of Yours hard work, stay safe and bring more fantastic restoration in future!

[@kiwifruit27]

Yippee a bonus episode 😊can’t wait. The Panzer 1 is looking awesome

[@dnbeckmann]

Wow! Congratulations, guys! Thanks for the extra effort, Kirt.

[@Drbrezzel]

Es ist schön zu sehen, das alte Deutsche Militärtechnik wieder zu ihren alten Glanz zurückkehren. Good job!

[@Demon_Outlaw]

Glad to watch from America 🇺🇸

[@joegatt2306]

Glad to watch from Malta Europe.

[@centamangila1217]

Glad to watch from the Philippines.

[@eTraxx]

Working on the track was fascinating to me. I spent over a decade working with the M1/M1A1 Abrams track .. and whatever version was really, really heavy which means watching this "cute" track being manhandled made me smile in appreciation.

[@Leupy]

just see the l3/33

[@carlwheezerofsouls3273]

Like heavy-duty motorcycle chains for tracks, could stick em in your pocket and walk around comfortably.

[@aussiefirestorm]

Test drive Thursday , sounds like a good thing.

[@garynew9637]

Haha yes

[@davidmartyn5044]

He now drives for the Aus armour museum. All we know, he`s called the Stug!

[@jeffhoward9186]

All I can say my poor back. Great work boys. It has been a wonderful journey watching you restore that Panzer with the confidence that you all show in your mechanical and metal skills/abilities. Awesome!!!

[@MatSpeedle]

Incredible work mates! That looks like a million bucks with the new paint job. You'll be the envy of museums round the globe with this beauty!

[@motoxray]

Workshop Wednesday, the ultimate drug, & I am completely hooked! I always want more! My career in the Australian Army was always attached to Armoured Corps, & I loved my job... So, now, I live my life vicariously through the Australian Armour & Artillery Museum KZbin channel, & their fantastically talented & dedicated staff. Jealous? Not much! Were I younger, I would camp on their doorstep, until they got so sick of me, I would be accepted as a volunteer, to add my skills to the pool of talented tradies who work at the best job I could imagine... Anyway, enough of my daydreaming, & thanks to the Australian Armour & Artillery Museum for feeding this wonderful addiction!!😂

[@scottcrawford7310]

Track bashing is always fun. Good job guys

[@formulapizza113]

i love this tank

[@Roulandus-le-Fartere]

Can't wait to see it trundle around the track this weekend....STOKED!!!!

[@jimmcfee3488]

How cute, just the perfect size to have in the backyard shed, pity there weren't a few more about.

[@Rubber_and_Rust617]

Hey Kurt! Loved the camera angle you put in at 19:26. Really goes to show the interesting and unique viewpoint that many of us will never get to see. It also speaks volumes about the time, effort, and dedication that you go to showcase the talents of these remarkable men doing such wonderful preservation work. It also brings to life what the actual armoured crewmen of these tanks, would've gone through in the everyday drudgery of maintenance and repair back in WW2. Keep up the absolutely brilliant work! Cheers from Canada!

Without question one of the best channels on YT and being an old home garage gear-head guy. The engine power-train and panel & chassis fabrication episodes are my favorite.

[@Ralph94967]

Looks awesome. In paint. Guys cracked it once again Kurt. Your old fella is a wizard. Could be called. A National treasure. 😂

[@Mackenziekingphoto]

18:16 is a master class in editing timing...Well done to the editor 🙂

[@davidbarnsley8486]

The guys have done a fantastic job to get it to this point from just the tub I remember seeing last year And look at it now running and driving 👍👍👍

[@diabolicalartificer]

Fantastic work, the lads have excelled themselves.

[@shakesc]

Workshop Wednesday , excellent

[@Photoguy_Jason]

Wednesdays are best enjoyed in the workshop, love seeing all of the projects and maintenance you do!

[@tdb7992]

My colleague visited your museum last week (we are in Perth on the other side of the country, but he was visiting Cairns). He knew I watched these videos and I really want to see the museum in person. He bought me one of those water bottles that look like a tank shell from your souvenir store. It's awesome! I've been taking it to the gym and getting a few weird looks. He snapped a photo of Jason working at the front desk too (he took the photo because the desk is shaped like a tank).

[@mattdaugherty7865]

The fastest 20 minutes on KZbin!

[@brendanspurr1437]

Arh 2 episodes in one week, twice as happy, 😊, great looking tank , well done!

[@neilrusling-je6zo]

That is the perfect sized tank for these modern roads, with no issue finding a parking spot! I wants one.

[@babuzzard6470]

Bet the old girls happy to be reborn again, great job guys, as always.🇦🇺👍

[@bigredjeepyj3436]

Saw the tank drive for the first time in however many years, cheered out loud, woke the wife up. Now she's mad, but she doesn't understand it's a running Panzer I. Job WELL done, gents.

[@adlerarmory8382]

She just doesn't understand it's the only running PzKw1 in the WORLD! I don't think Munster or Bobbington's even start let alone, run around the course.

[@TB1439]

Such a beauty. You did a great job on that tank. Can't wait to see the rest tomorrow. 👍😀

[@andrewsteele7663]

Thanks again for a brilliant episode, and a Workshop Thursday. How lucky can a man be. Cheers

[@mikeschaefer9516]

Great Channel- Look forward to it each week!

[@iainwilson4744]

Blooming Awesome. And a double installment this wee too. Thanks guys. Workshop Wednesday and Test Track Thursday.....

[@blogobre]

You guys are doing so great with the videos, been watching from near the beginning, nice work Kurt and all those of Aus Armor, hope you have a good fest this weekend.

[@johnbradshaw354]

Amazing work by Daryl and Jesse! Well done guys.

[@nevillegoddard4966]

Nope. Actually there's 97 track links per side! - If my 1/16 scale model panzer IB is correct! I just finished the tracks the other day! 776 parts in the 2 sides in fact! It took me nearly 2 weeks to make them up with metal pins, but now they're finished they work beautifully! Working on return rollers & a paint mask for them too! Nearly forgot! I made up a paint mask for the 10 road wheels, but luckily there's plenty of room for 8 return rollers too! I'll probly sell the mask for $25 or $30 on flea bay to the next builder when I'm done with it! Great video fellas! Thank You!

[@troymolitor7766]

She looks amazing. Well done gents.

[@petesheppard1709]

Wow! The dummy MG seemed to take as much work as the tracks! Good on you all! If I ever make it to Oz, the museum will be at the top of my visit list.

[@peppermill7163]

Beautiful work. The scale of the Panzer 1 compared to some of the other restorations is kind of cool. It's very relatable seeing it scoot around under its own power.

[@QALibrary]

very well done guys and it's great to see such a rare tank back in working order

[@Mati_Panzer]

I love showing these videos to my mom, she's not a tank nut like I am but she loves heavy machinery and mechanic work so videos like these are a common ground for us

[@MrChrisStarr]

Fantastic job! Looking forward to tomorrow.

[@DavidGerardAdams]

I'm continuously astounding at the skill involved in restoring these old vehicles. Great work guys.

[@danielkearney1815]

Congrats to the team, must be quite a feeling of achievement getting it moving.

[@CaptainCamperLP-CCLP]

It`s so great to see the Pz 1 coming together so well, it`s a great idea going hydrostatic for the drives.

[@SPSteve]

Fantastic job Darrell and Jess! You guys have killed it the past year.

[@narrth6821]

Great job guys, Can't wait to see it on Saturday at Aus Armour!

[@stephenyoud6125]

Great work guys as usual. and great lathe work from Daryl - Not bad for a Chippy !!

[@fredfarnackle5455]

Wow, sure looks good! Well done lads.👍

[@PeterSoden-eb6js]

Simply fabulous. It looks like a huge RC model on the move. What a great result. Looking forward to Workshop Thursday and the final pictures before the weekend.

[@TheSussexpillbox]

Proper engineering. Well done guys. respect from an Brit in Germany.

[@Pistol0291]

Great vid lads. Never seen a tank small as that. Fascinating content. Looking forward to tomorrow

[@schwabrichard9829]

I am looking forward to Workshop Thursday! A true labor of love!

[@shanemossmoss]

Thanks to all your skill has given us a great exhibit to look at next visit

[@realgrilledsushi]

My fav tank! What an incredible work by you guys!

[@DrewCartwright]

What great collaboration on an amazing restoration - Beautiful work, gentlemen!

[@Magic-Wrench]

Amazing results using simple tools. Keep up the good work, love your videos.

[@whiteninja2006]

The moment the lil panzer was driving around was awesome! Good job!

[@HeWhoKnows777]

I have the utmost respect for anyone working with metal and this little number is so cool. Tanks!

[@glenngosline1710]

Fantastic craftsmanship

[@Rogster559]

Can’t get enough of work shop Wednesday, bloody awesome

[@johnnapier8192]

Aw, loved the iron oxide and black camo paint job! Great for going unseen when infiltrating surrealist armoured columns! 🤣😁

[@tombeer9]

Can't wait for tomorrow 😊

[@richardwirt3193]

Very cool and creative

[@orbitalair2103]

Wow, she came out awesome. What a great job making the old tank into a rolling showpiece.

[@MichalKaczorowski]

The best collection in the southern hemisphere :D

[@bennyandersen9272]

I picked up scale model building again after a multi decade pause. It's really interesting following your projects as you really dig in to details and let us viewers get some understanding of how things look and their function. 👍

[@georgedistel1203]

Absolutely looks great

[@gusmobile67]

Thank God it's Wednesday!

[@davidkimmel5153]

You guys are wonderful people 😊

[@llwellyncuhfwarthen]

WOO HOO BONUS! Nice to see all the work and the resulting returns, I was going to say, watching it drive initially I thought it was not 'track slipping' seemed a bit extra jerky but the comment about engine tweaking to fix the uphill etc explains that! Good work all!

[@Zer0basscovers]

Bloody brilliant. Nice job!

[@jamesthomson3774]

great job as usual and on such a rare tank.

[@NateBulldogHolmes]

This is great content. I love watching the creation/restoration of these vehicles. One day I would love to come and volunteer.

[@mattm3562]

Love the attention to detail on the mg 13

[@highlander147]

Awesome job guys! And bonus Trackday Thursday to come!

[@thedolt9215]

So satisfying, watching those track link pins go in… Reminds me of something else, but I can’t think what! You guys are true craftsman… Beautiful work!

[@glennpettersson9002]

Woohoo, it's a bonus week🤩

[@ozbassman11]

Love your work. Wonderful to see the Pz 1 moving as it did. Thanks so much guys.

[@peterlinau1034]

You guys are amazing. So cool to see the panzer come back alive. Gut gemacht !

[@williamkoppos7039]

You need a guy on the inside of the track holding a sledge up against it, got to "back up" the link solidly as you whack at the pin. And I would have never seized all those pins. Great job on this priceless relic boys. Soooo cooool.

[@TheSaturnV]

Hands down the most entertaining fabrication show on the interwebs.

[@paulday-lh5mx]

Great video today. Looking forward to Thursdays video, and of course fix it Friday with Steve.

[@algodel9246]

Awesome job you guys! Nothing more satisfying seeing a project running and driving.

[@peternorris4558]

AWESOME , I WILL JUST HAVE TO VISIT AGAIN , FANTASTIC WORK , I WILL NEVER WINGE ABOUT BUILDING 1.35 SCALE TRACKS AGAIN .

[@dr.ryttmastarecctm6595]

Good on ya all!

[@robertdriscoll9673]

Great to see what your able to get done with what you have to work with. You have the best of the best working on all these tough projects. I look forward to seeing the end results of all the hard work that has been put into each rebuild.

[@stevebarnett-f5o]

So good to see this one running, great work people.

[@red_d849]

glad to see the panzer up and running, the scale model was hilarious, and as someone who has worked with masking tape, I FEEL that pain that forced you to just resort to grinding it off. i was gonna originally comment that i feel your pain with the masking tape, but then i saw the grinder come out to get it off lmao. love you guys hope i can come over from Oregon USA to visit and hopefully donate some day

[@samholdsworth420]

Im so glad the project is ON TRACK!! GET IT?

[@sherwoodforester4666]

Out of all the restorations this is my favourite!Can we have a video of the origins of the original bits that went into building it.

[@LesWalker2023]

What fantastic work! The boys really did a great job! Love seeing them fabricate that machine gun.

[@davidlawrencebanks4610]

Looking good chaps!! 👍 👍 👍

[@Socrates21stCentury]

Very Cool!
