    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    the level of skill and dedication is astounding.

    thanks for sharing.

    imagine what would happen if this guy and the thornycroft/dennis/peerless family got together.

    This short film shows you the Germanicon methodology of each section of manufacture making their respective part for the Panzer series of tank during WW2, and then bringing them all together to produce a fearsome result!!! If one section was faster than the other they simply stockpiled the piece after inspection and waited its turn....................brilliant

    "...the Panzer series..." The word 'Panzer' means 'tank'. So all Germanicon tanks were Panzers. There was no "Panzer series".
    Saw a film long ago that showed the turret ring of a Tiger, I think it was, being made. Great big mill essentially.
    "...Mind boggling..." Yep. A guy with his torch. Heard of a guy some place in Northern Ontario, who was building a Mosquito. Guy I heard it from was Dennis Bradley of the Canadianicon Warplane Heritage. Never have seen nor heard if it was ever finished.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    That will be Mosquito B.35 TA661 being very slowly reconstructed by the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association at Windsor, Ontario. It was one of a number of Mosquitoes acquired by Spartan Air Services in the mid-50's for aerial mapping of Canadaicon. In 1956 it made an emergency landing near Pelly Lake in the Northwest Territories and was consumed by fire. The remains were recovered from the site about 25 years ago by the Windsor Mosquito Bomber Group.
    Its being reconstructed with the original prototype trial build new build fuselage made by Gynn Powell for the airworthy rebuilds in NZicon.
    This is the new fuselage after it arrived in Canada some years ago.

    ‘Panzer’ means ‘armour’. In the tank context it is a contraction of ‘Panzerkampfwagen’ = ‘armoured fighting vehicle’. The word ‘tank’ started off as a cover name, then became a nickname and ended up as an actual name.
