draganm Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) With the exception of the beautiful Valentine in NZ being posted here, and a couple of others, seems like most of the threads here were started a while ago and not much new stuff lately so I thought I would post some interesting ones from FB because they are active and lots of new pics being posted.

ajmac Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) https://www.facebook.com/Restauration-Sherman-Firefly-Vc-1694572794145420/?fref=ts Sherman firefly in france or belgium I think I really like these guys restoration, I've been following it for a while now, they are doing a great job and I am in love with the colour of the twinpack they are installing! The newly arrived Nashorn is interesting too. Many will know that I now update the Loyd restoration on FB mainly because its so simple to do it from a phone or my iPad. You also widen the audience; since moving to FB I have met a number of foreign Loyd owners and found rare parts, made parts swaps etc.. https://www.facebook.com/Loyd-Carrier-256864924438083/ Edited May 5, 2016 by ajmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draganm Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 holy cow, enough to keep a person busy for hours. I forgot all about the king tiger in Sweden, I thought that project was dead in the water. Now it looks like they're close to a working vehicle :wow: If there's one thing this world needed, it's a 3rd running tiger tank :cheesy: The Firefly looks really great too, ........heck they're all really cool. Can you update this with the URL to the FB page? Tim done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draganm Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Type 95 Ha-go restoration really impressive too when you consider the difficulty in language barrier, non-existent documentation, etc. Surprised more of them haven't been grabbed by collectors off the various Islands in Micronesia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana and Jackie Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 This is all very well and good but a lot of people don't want or don't like Facebook, which means they cannot see the photos. (and for very good reasons they may not wish to have a Facebook account. It would be much preferable if interesting photos were posted on here.

Niels v Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 From what I have heard selveral Japanese tanks have been collected from the Russian island where fighting occurred but they can not leave Russia. There is also https://www.facebook.com/historic.engineering.nl/ and https://www.facebook.com/militaryvehiclerepairs/ But the last can already be followed here on Hmvf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeePig Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Very very interesting, and very very time consuming to follow. I suppose if one does not want to join Facebook, then it is rather like me living in Poland and being unwilling to make the visit to Bovingdon - it is my choice, but I would not want to make anyone else unhappy because of my choice. I suppose the time might come when forums may also naturally evolve into smartphone technologies that also happen to work on desktops trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diana totally agree about FB, mark Zuckerburgs Evil empire will not be marketing to me and I don't have an account there, but you don't need one to follow a restoration. I am constantly having to use a blocker to get rid of their "Log in NOW!" Pop-up , and that's a major PITA. Unfortunately, people have chosen it as their preferred photo blog engine. Wouldn't have been my first choice but it is what it is.:-| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
