Fun image of Austrian army 1958:



Using MG-3, M1 Garand and T-34/85.

Also, I came across Mark Rogers' art - he's mixing frontier Americana with supernatural/aliens ... not gonna lie, I'm not a big fan of a Weird West setting, but I would watch this show/play this game/read this book. :lol:

Nice story Syt.

I'll refrain from quoting your post as I might break the forum by reposting around 12mb of jpgs in a single post. :D

If I didn't know better I would just assume these were pictures from the Book of Mormon.

Agree with both sentiments, and that's why I'm quoted you and not Syt.  :D

Cool pictures. Something about big equipment makes me feel like a little kid.


Also, I hate, hate, hate the stupid crystal cancer/expansion at the Royal Ontario Museum. Great museum inside though. Subway station is cool too

Just posting this link here of a guy sharing some family pictures (250+, actually).

https://imgur.com/gallery/fwLObTE

Guy's grandfather was U.S. military intelligence in the 1950s/60s, with pictures from his time in Britain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Vietnam, Japan. Additionally, his grandfather was captain of a freighter, traveling the Middle East in the 1950s (Saudi Arabia, Jerusalem, Lebanon).

Some very cool pictures in there. :)

Visited London on Tuesday for a bit of a Languish inspired 11-12mile 'death march', managed to fit in the Tower of London, HMS Belfast, British Museum and the Cabinet/Churchill War Rooms in Whitehall.

The Tower was the expect tourist hotspot, odd to 'see' the missing coronation crowns and other tat replaced by little printer signs along the lines of 'item removed for big event'. :D

HMS Belfast the most fun, climbing up and down the ships ladders to access the different decks including the engine room and shell magazines.

Only went to the British museum for a coffee, a glimpse of the Sutton Hoe Saxon collection and because it was on the way back from St.Pauls.

The rebranded Churchill war rooms was ok, but a very dark underground museum to spend the last part of the day in and I've been there before, just after it'd opened so back then one had a more open, less managed museum experience.

Had a bit of time to kill so spent an hour wondering around the coronation ground zero, now a pedestrianised area around Westminster.
