Just read that a TV series is being filmed, featuring the week-by-week activities of the members of an IPMS branch somewhere in south-east England. Provisional title is "The Only Way Is Airfix." Will keep you informed.
Might be old news, but I find this a puzzle. Is it a Cambrai casualty? And what nationality are the officers? German? I can't make sense of the tunics.
I've been doing some research on this area, and have hit a snag. Two different reputable sources quote two different numbers for tanks present at Fleurs in 1916 (the baptism of fire). ? Fire-Power by Shelford Bidwell & Dominick Graham say out of 49, 32 reached the start, 9 broke down, 9 failed to re...
I have recently received several sets of figures from W^D models and what delightful quality models they are. ?I have been in touch with Barry to see if figures or heads might be sculpted of 'tankers' wearing the leather protective head gear. ?He has responded saying that he has insufficient referen...
I have built both the male and female tanks and added the odd bit of extra detailing. I opened up the top hatch and the side door on the sponson. The plastic scaled up would have been rather thick armour plate. I also added some home made grousers to the tracks. ? -- Edited by DaveS on Sunday 23rd of March 201...

Just had this email "RCD has just replied to a topic you have subscribed to entitled New Roden 1914 pattern? Rolls Royce Armoured car on Landships WW1 Forum".

Mr. Josh Tarrant, the very kind Information Officer at the Queensland Museum & Sciencentre (sic), has been good enough to send the following reply to my enquiry about Mephisto's welfare: The January 2011 flooding entered the display enclosure for Mephisto and came part way up its tracks. As so...

This leads to the second question - was there any official font used on B...
I notice that the menus on Landships II are growing to the point of being unwieldy. For example the German artillery menu is so long you have to scroll to see all of it. When I converted the old freeservers.landships website I kept the high level organisation of the website and made it uniform across the...
