What you guys can do with a pile of scrap is absolutely amazing. Love your work 👍🏻🇦🇺
Work? Or a paid hobby?
@@Martin-on2pp I'd pay them to work there.....
@@desertmandan123 Same here!
Beau is unbelievably humble just casually describing what he had to make from scratch to turn a pile of scrap metal into a recognizable vehicle
Every exhibit should also display the story of how they were brought back to their former glory by the world class team the Museum has in the workshop. What the boys did with this Hummel is honestly just as amazing as the vehicles War time history! Massive kudos to the Workshop, bloody incredible.
World class! Epic work!
That's what these videos are for...
It is just amazing that some one even kept those blown apart pieces for you to weld back together.
Farmers in Eastern Europe kept the armor shards for tractor, trailer, and truck repairs. Good German steel.
Bonjour
Très intéressante comme toujours. Quel travail énorme et beaucoup de persévérance pour reconstruire cette machine à partir de bout de ferraille
Un grand respect pour toute Équipe ( et surtout à BO)
UN FRANÇAIS 😇 😇 😇 😇 😇 TIGRE2😊😊😊
Another Outstanding vehicle Tour video.
Please keep making these.
We will!
Thanks Jason, Beau & team, bloody spectacular exhibit, both of you deserve an OBE, brilliant work. Cheers
OBE Outstanding Brilliant Engineering.........?
Ok, that moment when you see the pieces on the ground is mind blowing on how good the vehicle looks after restoration...
Jason Belgrave's knowledge is simply astonishing. What an amazing collection.

Mate! You’d be great at jigsaws! Really enjoying the clear explanations of why things were built a certain way. Keep them coming.
Appreciate mentioning czech origin of word howitzer, in german haubitze, in czech houfnice (houf is old word for swarm/crowd). Amazing work restoring this vehicle from scrap.
Your team of craftsman are absolutely amazing! What an awesome story! The craftsmanship is only rivalled by the depth of knowledge the narrator shares with us in these videos. As always, excellent content and thank you for bringing it to us!
These videos are absolutely brilliant, please keep doing them for the rest of your superb collection. The videos complement Bovington Tank Museums output so those who cannot visit will be able to appreciate the rare vehicles you have so brilliantly preserved. Thank you!
That's just amazing to me you can actually put these completely blown to bits-tanks back together! And it is wonderful that you have the means and support to do so! Serious talent there. Bringing History back to life. and the First and Second World Wars are all but forgotten and the story lost, not even taught in many schools anymore, but this brings it all back home, everyone should have to take a walk through the museum, it needs to be remembered. I feel lucky, that my Grandfather, my Dads step-dad, had served in both wars as a Norwegian Merchant Marine, some stories there- hugely influenced my life he taught me how to splice lines, and knots used at sea, I later used regularly ...when I went to sea. Skills lost to time, and yet much of the world still use, your museum is a gift to the world to see, share, and learn from.
Hummel and the Wespe are two of my favorite German WW2 vehicles. The level of effort, craftsmanship and attention to detail are beyond compare. Looking at the finished vehicle and the jigsaw puzzle piece side plate blows my mind. I could only hope there was a series like the Jagdpanth er and Stug iii on this project. Your website is like Nirvana to a tank nerd like me.
Amazing that you could put that back together.
"its still cool though." Thats an understatement if Ive ever heard one. Especially given what you guys had to work with.
At 4:25, The English word howitzer comes from the Czech word houfnice, from houf, 'crowd' - the Czech Hussites used cannon against groups.
These tracks were called correctly "Ostketten" due to Russian winters. Ost is east in German. As always -great job&team!
@@ryann3903 thanks, good to know! 💪
That’s incredible, a pity that you weren’t making videos back then. Awesome restoration and very interesting information. Thanks
Brilliant work... Showing the skilled and dedicated work of whole the restoration team to a wider audience than just those who can visit the display. I live an hour away from the museum, and count myself very, very fortunate to be able to wander in at my pleasure...
Beau, stop 'downplaying' your abilities - the job you did recreating that brake dust vent is nothing short of phenomenal.
Brilliant work!!
Love your work
Awesome job 👏👏👏
Well done Love these
Great job love it
Amazing work.
I had a couple of these when I played war games 30 yrs ago
Awesome guys!!!!
Brilliant work!👍
outstanding! Amazing restoration
Awesome work.
you guys did an amazing job putting all those pieces back together. it looks great! bravo!
Phenomenal work gentleman!
Another outstanding video and presentation.
Happy Hummel Hugs!
My battle cry in World of Tanks when I switch the Hummel from indirect to emergency close range brawler.
Amazing work putting it all back together.
Great vid , thank you , happy to watch and like anything you blokes do, well worth my time , let alone yours 👍
I can't believe the rebuild! Amazing!
These are the best tank tours on youtube
My Favorite Surprise, on a War-game Battlefield, doubt I would find them so much fun in real life, on receiving end, being Pummeled by a Hummel .. Another Fantastic Video !!
Unbelievable restoration puzzle! Brilliant work!
Cracking Restoration job
What a great job you all did with it!!! Definitely something to be proud of!! Well done!!!
Good work.
Good video. Excellent result from such a daunting jigsaw puzzle.
Great job
This is one of the most impressive jobs you guys did! GSUS!!
Great video. Hummels were relatively rare during the war (only 700 built), and now days only six remain in museums. It is great to see it even if it is incomplete without an engine. Kudos to Beau and the boys for putting it back together from so many small pieces. I hope to be able to visit there one day.
The combination of historical context and restoration info works great
Amazing workmanship.....👏👏👏 well done guys
Good night! Piecing that thing together!!! I had no idea. Amazing.
Unbelievable and damn amazing that you guys made that awesome machine from a pile of scraps.
I cant believe they restored the vehicle from those broken parts. Amazing !
Once I got into the video and saw the patchwork "quilt" sides, I was gobsmacked!
The work that these lads produce, is exceptional. Thes are fantastic videos, thank you.
Incredible work. This channel deserves way more subs.
Outstanding work, explanation of work, and videography!
Perfect..!
Very nice job, made from little pieces.
Amazing!!!
Keep going, your ar the best!!
Worlds toughest jigsaw puzzle! Great restoration job, guys - and a really interesting lecture. Thanks!
Too look at that pile of little bits and pieces and then to see the finished vehicle is amazing. You guys are so dedicated to your work and the results are beautiful.
That was restoration was truly amazing
This piece is in excellent condition for such a rare vehicle. Excellent work. Thank you for the video!
blows your mind what these lads can do , just unbelievable 👌, and their knowledge they have gained on these vehicles is incredible too 👍, keep at it lads , just loving these vids 😉
You all did a great work
Thank you very much
Take Care yours Frank Galetzka
The work you guys did with the stuff you had is just crazy
You guys got the greatest job in the world …I wish we had something even close to it back here . Greetings from the Netherlands ❤ Never miss an episode
I visited Overloon when it was a park with knocked out vehicles scattered throughout. I was in Primary School. From there I got bit by the military bug. Don’t discount the power of any collection, particularly yours with a Panther!
@@user-wf2lm3vi7o Back in those days I visited Overloon also as a kid ....nowadays its all a `history centre` with woke managers but it still has a great collection , I wont discard it 😇
Amazing Job you done there!
great hearing how humble Beau is - let him know, no matter how poor he thinks his early work might be, it does the job, and the same as i have done with aircraft, if you can't get it, make it, replicate it, and should one come about, ever, than you can always replace when one becomes available, great informative video
Very nice presentation. Great to hear from the restorer.
Nice job!
Sensational workmanship. So glad people with this sort of ambition exist. ❤
Note: The track tread is designed to grip the ice, tracked machines struggle on ice. It’s like being on skates, so we typically weld “corks” on every second or third track, they generally ware off over the winter.
What a massive undertaking in Fabrication words can't express what you guys have accomplished, you have put the WOW in your craftsmanship
Thats an amazing vehicle considering the shards it was in. Fantastic collection. Love your vids.
You gentlemen do such a fantastic job of re-building these rusty machines.
The amount of love, care and attention to detail that goes into rebuilding these weapons of war is breathtaking. God bless you guys!
Another stunning result of long hours of dedicated work! Wonderful! Congratulations from France for the quality of your work! 😮🤩👍
You guys are the perfect group to do a video on how to “lay a battery” and aim the gun on target. It should impress the tankers on how hard indirect fire is!
The work you guys do it amazing, I'd love to come to work there.
What a tremendous job you guys and girls do.
SOOO this is basically a Jigsaw rebuild. This is OUTSTANDING work guys - Truly impressive. Well done.
I've got the Tamiya Nashorn (Nas-horn, NOT Nash-orn!) on my bench and I bought four Eduard PE sets, an Aber gun barrel and 3D printed resin tracks. That means I'm taking it bloody seriously with this build, hahaha! Apart from the gun this is the same vehicle, so this video comes in handy. I like your pronunciation of almost all German words. Only "Hummel" (bumble bee) was wrong. Phonetically it's pronounced "Hoommel". The way you pronounced it would be a different animal ("Hammel" = mutton). Thanks a lot for the upload!
A great video.
6:24 That is freaking amazing that you put that vehicle together from that pile of mangled parts!
I like your work and this channel.
May I say how much this old POM enjoys your Wednesday programme.
Ihr leistet extrem gute Arbeit und habt ein sehr, sehr gutes Team! Vielen Dank dafür....viele Grüße aus Deutschland......Claus
Panzer Tracts 17, of which I'm sure you guys have a copy of. Info and internal photos start at page 40. Carries 48 main rounds, but let's be honest, they likely stacked up as many rounds as they could carry.
18 rounds on board and from the transporter which transported 180 rounds but was shared between 6 Hummels so you came on the 48 round-just 18 om board!
@MrLotrecht the question they asked was about the munitions carrier and to provide sources.
There were two munitions carriers per battery of 6 Hummels.
Each Hummel carried 18 rounds officially, plus the powder charges.
Each muntions carrier carried 48 rounds + powder charges, which was in the same internal configuration as a gun Hummel, just without the gun. (they had a bolted steel plate over the gap from a lack of gun, so a gun could be swapped in if needed).
Hummel means translated Bumblebee !
🐝
Nice!
No apologies necessary. When you have scrap to work with you must use your expertise and GO FOR IT!! Well Done!!
The vehicle looks really good guys 👍
Beautiful!! 👌
The Nashorn project in the Netherlands is also very interesting! It is almost tge same as this vehicle but equiped with 75mm anti tank gun.
Just 3 servivors and this one is made running with Deutz V12 Diesel engine. So.. not original engine but still German V12.
Man that is one amazing repair job.. at 1st I didn't even thought this vehical was used that much.
I can hardly believe what was done to reconstruct this self-propelled gun! A miracle, it was!
Woww ! hard to believe what a great effect you managed to get out of those scraps
bravo! sub & paw 🙂
What an amazing result from just junk
I would like to know how you even find the pieces 👍👍
Great job gentlemen !!!
Cheers from Canada.
Would love to come for a visit/vacation someday. 👍
Amazing how their rebuild this old warhorse!!! Congratulations!!!
coolest jigsaw puzzle ever
