Topic: Tchechenigel, Tank Traps, WW2 nuts read this

i need a Tchechenigel, aka tank trap. i found out recently that they are available to buy from some WWII collectors in Denmark. i need one for an upcoming exhibition i am doing in april and this guy in denmark is sold out, if you can believe that. here is the link if you don't know what i am talking about:

http://www.zeppelin-museum.dk/D/german/ … rkauf.html

anyway i thought there are some WWII fanatics here and maybe there are some available in Holland or Germany and maybe some of you WWII nuts have a contact that i could maybe get in touch with....?

email me if you have any leads. all help is appreciated.

Re: Tchechenigel, Tank Traps, WW2 nuts read this

indeed these are beautiful once demilitarized..(you can spot where the big piece of artillery was) and they are a legacy against war, that's why we keep them..
also great as kid playgrounds in the summertime, some of them have tunnels and stuff to explore, but living in there would be impossible because of the smell of piss..

I think it would be a great opportunity for a pow-wow with the Berlin based robots - who's game?

Stan, do you mind me asking what the neon rats are made out of?

Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don't take it too seriously.

@San:  they are 'etched' plexiglass, also known as photogravur. in the bottom is an LED strip that illuminates the etched parts.
@Captain Duran:  the opening hours are Wednesday - Saturday 12 - 18:15 or if you want by appointment.  let me know if you really want to pass by.  maybe after noon or after 18H and we could have a beer.  i gotta work sad  .  or just let me know or not.... you know where it is wink
