Won't surprise you when I say I did a double take on the first photo!  :o  ;D

But then, the thought of an 'alternative timeline' (a plot beloved of Star Trek and other Sci-Fi stories), somehow became slightly chilling (yikes!) ...  :-S

They say the Germans were shocked when the Sherman DD tanks suddenly appeared out of the water on D-Day. Imagine these things doing the same thing!

Couldn't see why this was in "Fun Stuff" to begin with.  ;D

They are really well done.

How long before someone decides to have a go at that as a "what if?" :D

Yes.

Typical blanket roll.
