We came across the "Military Museum of Texas" at the end of a two week roadtrip around the Southern States of America.
Based in Houston it is a real little gem. The volunteers who run it are all very knowledgeable and very keen to give small groups a very informative guided tour. Robert took us around - he had restored the M35A2 with the quadmount.

Excellent photos and great write up.... really enjoyed reading it.
My Sabre has been on hold for a few weeks due to a shoulder problem, work and a holiday.... but seeing your progress has inspired me to get back on it ASAP

Brilliant progress Paul, just seen your Rarden has gone on, well done! Dont forget for that added authenticity to paint the first half of the barrel silver
I hope this weekend to finish taking the last of the bits off my Sabre (handbrake and master cylinders), before I start stripping, cleaning, painting and in a few weeks hopefully putting it all back together.
And yes I know i still need to post the pics!
Cheers
Tim
A few weeks doesn't sound too bad !!

Looking good, Paul!

Just been over to Witham SV to collect bits won at last tender.... these two CVRTs, not yet collected from the last Tender, looked menacing / sad ? in the mist.
I was there two weeks ago and shot this video of all the vehicles at the tender...
Just the CVRTs...
-
Well done... great project.
For those who have not seen it.... here is my video overview of the CVRTs at the last Witham Tender... includes shots of the various shrubs !!

It had to happen that a Challenger 1 would be restored for all to see, pity about the awful music............
Cheers Bob... Sorry about the music Bob.... but the Wurzals.. "I've got a brand new Combine Harvester" didn't seem to fit the bill !!

Nice bit of shunting and camera work. Its not easy to do a job and film it yourself too - you keep forgeting to move the camera or turn it on and off. The thing that most impresses me is that in an obviously built up area no one was sufficently curious to come and watch - does this happen every day on your estate ?
David
Luckily not too many people came past while we were in action..... and all my immediate neighbours are used to strange this going on at our house !!
-
You couldn't have done that with the Abbot!
Mind you, if you'd dropped the engine in first it could have done it by itself ... :-)
Andy
Andy... had to turn it round to get the engine in.... which has now been done...

Impressive ingenuity there - a real pleasure to meet you the other day and put a face to a name. I am gradually working my way through my sabre and have been keeping pics which i will post one day! Not going at the same pace or doing the same amount of work as you but following your blog has inspired me to paint a few things while i am changing my J60.
Look forward to seeing the engine and box installed..
Cheers
Tim
Cheers Tim.... come on gets those photos posted !!
-
Cheers Bill. The only change I had to make to the garage was to remove the up & over door, to give max height, and instead convert it to a sliding door !
