Excited We're excited as anything to be going... we made our reservations yesterday... and we now have confirmation that the seasoned vet is going too! Can't wait to see all the vehicles and hope there is a hefty dose of E. Block stuff to see! Later! Dave Bane Augdog1964

Helmets Steel helmets in the troop compartment are an EXCELLENT idea! Hope to see you at Beltring! Dave Bane

Thanks! Thanks for the link... I've emailed them about the KPVTs and some armor helmets... as BiffJ so aptly put it the other day, the only thing soft in a tank is the tanker's (or owners LOL) head!

Driver Neil, Biff and I need a KPVT... preferrably two of them... demilled to US standards and shipped in. We would of course do Form 6s... can you give us contact info? thanks Dave Bane Augdog1964

New Pics Hey all, thought you might enjoy some pics of her out for play... Dave Bane Augdog1964

Any ideas? Wow, If you find out any T-72s here in the States that are for sale, especially if they are CZ units, I'd LOVE to get their information! Dave Bane Augdog1964 T55AM2/T34/BMP1/BPzV/OT90/BTR60/BTR40

Plans Hoping to open a small armor museum, focusing on Cold War vehicles... and discussing Cold War armor ideas and tactics... Need a T-72, and that should do the Russian stuff unless a T6X could be found... but now need a Centurion and Chieftain, Scorpion, and FV432... that will do GB...

Good Point! Good point! Armor is exempt from duty... but mil trucks less than 25 years old I believe had a 25% duty placed on them... BE CAREFUL with trucks! Dave Bane Augdog1964

Steps to acquire Ok guys... It took a lot of time and effort, frustration and pain, but I've learned some valuable lessons in importing vehicles over the past year or so... 1) Locate vehicle: You MUST have someone you either explicitly trust OR must put boots on the ground overseas and see...

Hey all, Look what followed us home today! She finally made it in from across the pond! T-55AM2... Czech... from the Boyes collection sale last year... Absolutely beautiful tank in amazing condition. Still has the DSHK scope in the mount too! At 84,870 lbs shes a heavy weight too...

T-34 I own an operational T-34... breech intact ready to shoot... IF you could find the shells... which don't hardly exist! Augdog1964 T55/T34/BMP-1/BPzV/OT-90/BTR60/BTR40

Yes... Yes, fully amphibious. This is a very rare variant... a command, control, and recon unit. Loaded with radios, hi-gain antenna, laser range finder, ground tracking, etc. The BPzV was made to sneak ahead of the line, sit and find / report on enemy movements... think German forests etc...

Boyes Auction Bought her at the Boyes Auction last Julyish... She made land 2 weeks or so ago... I had help on the import from John and Lar (olivedrab)... they were great. BMP is the sports car of armor... believe me! Dave Bane Augdog1964

Another good shot! I like this one too... Dave Bane Augdog1964 T-55/T-34/BMP-1/BPzV/OT-90/BTR-60/BTR-40

Well it finally dried up enough to get the new baby out... here are some pics! We got her up to 50 mph more or less, and hit the smoke screen... PRICELESS!:) Dave Bane Augdog1964

I'll be darn! Another Richmond guy... that's fantastic! Shoot me a PM with all your contact info... late spring we begin the pull apart of the T-34 to redo the brake bands and the clutch bands... we will need a hand! Dave Bane Augdog1964 T-55/T-34/BMP-1/BPzV/OT-90(incoming)/BTR-60/BTR-40

No problem... We can ride... or if the weather isn't nice, you can at least look through them. Its interesting just to look and understand the vehicles too... amazing stuff. Dave Bane Augdog1964

Arriving She just arrived from Liverpool. I bought her at the Boyes auction last July. It takes a LONG time to get the paperwork handled. Quick note, expect pilfering and possible damage when this stuff comes over. I was lucky on her... just a dead military battery, 175 to replace. She did...

Pics Well I attached the pic... but its a no show... here we go again?

Hey all... The BPzV has hit Indiana. This is a relatively rare BMP-1 variant, designed by the Czechs. Its role was to sneak behind enemy lines and report back on enemy sightings, position, and range. Chock FULL of radios and neat equipment. Sorry for the bad pics, but it was POURING when...
