You really have to see this to believe it.

Re: Before Plastic Models.

Over there is past tense n' doesn't count here in the Zone. I'd seen this one long before I even knew of "over there" n' visited that place.

Re: Before Plastic Models.

On the subject of wood crafted tanks, anyone ever see a Wolchowstock?

Or know what it is.

Re: Before Plastic Models.

Wolchow, or walking stick, is a biggie in German culture, especially if one custom carved his own Wolchowstock. For reasons no one is sure of Wolchowstocks became extremely popular among German troops fighting on the Eastern Front, but rarely seen on the Western Front.

Panzer crews evolved the Wolchowstock into a front line art form.


In some cases whole crews would work together on elaborate Panzerwolchowstocks, carving out not only fine scale models of their tanks to top the stick, but listing the names of crew members, operations and awards along the stock.
