Hey Tankers!

Over the past week we’ve been working on scheduling, planning, and feasibility. We’ve been in contact with the folks over at Fort Indiantown Gap about the reenactment coming up (Battle of the Bulge) and we plan to attend. There’s a group coming in from Tennessee that might be of interest to us. That’s late January coming up, how exciting.

Beckett’s been working on some 3D modelling, using our 1:16 scale model we’ve got laying disassembled in our basement. He takes measuremnts of the parts and draws them x16 in Inventor, so all the parts are 1:1. Now keep in mind they are from a model, but give us a good idea of what we have to build come time to construct. We may even be able to use them for blueprints. Here’s a preview of that work (accumulation of a few months).



Nate whipped up a banner/logo idea for us, under the original name of the company/group “Das Kriegsministerium”. The Kriegfox (barely visible) is essentially the mascot. Might also be the tank’s name. Not sure, but it’s cool! Needs some adjustment but it’s a neat banner. We have an artist working whipping up a better fox, so we’ll see what comes up! The team also needs to talk about business cards because handing out scraps of paper with “project38.net” on them gets old.

Tristan’s been in contact with a number of individuals across the country working on divvying up the labor. Right now that’s a bit difficult because we haven’t finished modelling the tank. Most things need dimensions to be planned but we’re working on that.

Besides that, our network of people interested in the project continues to grow. It’s always exciting to share an interest with others and the amount of people calling us up is really encouraging! Thanks!

Til next time!
