Last night, I was cleaning out my email folders and came across this link about a World War 2 tank found after 62 years in mud. Not sure if any of you knew about this.

Hell, a German T-34, nice. Looks in good condition as well. Nice link, thanks.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Yep, I saw that a while back. One heck of a find!
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
Hmmmm... I smell a Captured Group Build. *hint, hint... :))
What's really amazing, is after that many years in the bog, it looks cleaner than many of the models I see on display here.
Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Hmmm... what's that sound in the background? A can of worms being opened?

That tank looks like it was put in the lake just a couple of weeks ago, not 62 years ago! That's a pretty neat find.

Wow! That is really cool. Still amazes me that decent relics from the war are still being found. Thanks for sharing the link.

Need to find out what anti-oxidant is in that mud! It must have sealed it up pretty tight.

Mediocraties - my favorite Greek model builder.
They found a Sherman sunk in the sand to its turret at Camp Lejeune a few years ago, and another forgotten and rotting in the woods at Quantico
IS there a link for that story? I love reading/hearing stories of long lost tanks/aircraft of WW2.

And here I thought we only had modeling discussions here ;-) cool science stuff there PM. So I guess that part in Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers with them looking down on bodies in a bog from a battle fought ages before has just a tad of truth...
That'd make a cool Diorama. Tank still half below ground being pulled out....
