First of all, thank you all !
Thank you for the success of the first issue of our Web-
zine Warpaints Mag’. Indeed more than 6 000 downloads in
French and English were made from our platform. And we
know for sure that this figure was largely exceeded as we
were not able to add the figures from the other 3 platforms
on which the Mag was available for download.
This is a tremendous encouragement for us and it comforts
us in our endeavour to share freely our passion.
For your information, we launched officially an association
on the eve of the Saumur exhibition and Warpaints Mag’ will
be one of its media. You are all welcome to join us and be-
come an active member.
We had set ourselves the target of releasing two issues per
year and we will commit to achieving it. The next issue of
Warpaints Mag’ will be released mid-December.
However given the success that the first release met, we
wanted to keep the momentum.
We thought it would be interesting to issue random releases
of Warpaints Mag’ in a shorter format on topics that are col-
lateral to scale modelling.
And we came up with the idea of Warpaints Mag’ Mini!
This « mini » Webzine will only be released when we think
we have sufficient matter on a topic that is most likely to
be of interest for a majority of scale modellers. It is called
“mini” as there will be less pages than in the standard War-
paints Mag’ format.
As said before, it is topic-based and for this first issue we
chose a subject that is dear to our AFV modellers’ hearts,
i.e. The Saumur Museum!
The Saumur AFV Museum is a temple than any AFV model-
ler must visit once in his life. In this issue we will show you
all aspects of this fantastic place.
We would like to thank the military authorities for granting
us the authorisation to show you what the public cannot see
during a normal visit.
You will also discover what is happening behind the scenes
of the yearly scale model contest.
And last but not least, we were allowed to make you disco-
ver the jewel of the crown: the Saumur Kingtiger that re-
mains the only one in the world still in working condition.
You will find in the following pages a complete walkaround
including pictures of the interior of the beast.
Special thanks to José Duquesne without whom this first
issue of Warpaints Mag’ mini could not have been released.
A second issue will probably be available in 2016as we have
plenty of ideas!
But first let’s meet in December for the second issue of
Warpaints Mag’ that will be dedicated to the Battle of the
Bulge!
Happy Modelling

The Tank Museum and its Association
The Armoured Vehicle Resource Centre was founded in
1977 by Colonel Aubry. Over two hundred armoured vehi-
cles were then gathered within the Armoured Cavalry Arm.
Due to an increase in interest, the collection was eventually
opened to the public in 1983. Although the collection still
belongs to the Defence Ministry, its running was delegated
to a non-profit organisation (Association Loi 1901) named
the AAMB or the Association of the Friends of the Tank Mu-
seum.
Over the last 30 years, the CDEB has salvaged vehicles of all
sorts and of all nations, so much so that today the collection
numbers almost 850 pieces and makes the Saumur Tank’s
collection the largest in the world. Over two hundred vehi-
cles can be seen by the public and around 20% of the col-
lection is in working order. The conservation work continues
to this day in partnership with industry, the GDA and thanks
to donations and swaps with other nations which allows for
the acquisition of new vehicles.
The Association of the Friends of the Tank museum (AAMB)
has been given the task of generating funds and in order
to do so, several events have been created. The most ob-
vious way to generate those funds is, of course, the ever
increasing number of paying visitors to the Museum. The
shop is another source of revenue for the Museum, through
its sales of souvenirs, model-kits, books and clothing. The
vehicles are also available to rent for the film industry, com-
memorations and exhibitions.
An International model show takes place every year at the
museum during the Pentecost week-end (Springtime). It is
an opportunity for many to see the Museum’s “Beasts of
Steel” in action in a live display.
Another opportunity to see a large number of armoured fi-
ghting vehicles in action, is during the popular “Carousel of
Saumur” event, which takes place in front of the “Armoured
Vehicle Application School”, Place du Chardonnet.
The twelve Exhibition Halls give the visitors an opportunity
to discover the evolution of tanks through an ever-evolving
and educative visit, that is regularly enriched by new and
exiting exhibits.
A five strong team works all year round to maintain and re-
novate this huge collection. “Volunteers’ Weeks” were ini-
tiated by Colonel Seignon in 2003 in order to give a much
needed hand to the Museum’s full-time team.
Four workshops of one week are organised every six
months. The 8.8 Flak benefited from such workshops and it
is today fully restored. Another beneficiary of this initiative is
the Panzer IV, which, although it is still a work in progress,
is expected to be in a working order in the near future. Each
team numbers two to six volunteers. The Panther ausf G
workshop was once one of those projects and took place
over 15 weeks with a team of four volunteers on average.
Immersed in History, made up of one of the most diverse
and rich collections offered to the public, presented in an
exiting and dynamic manner, the Saumur Tank Museum is a
unique and unmissible historical site.
You should no longer hesitate to pay us a visit !
