The customary apologies if this is old stuff, but this is a rather interesting organisation. Lots of Great War footage. I don't think I've seen the film of training on the dummy FTs before, and there's what looks like film of Patton. The last scene is one that would probably not receive official approv...
I have been toying with the idea of approaching an etching company to make parts for the British tanks available in Braille scale. ?(Even the rather good Master Box offerings are not perfect). ?I was thinking of: pistol port covers, grousers, replacement rear stowage box (Mk IV), flaps for secondar...
The theme of the group build - The Other Guys - basically includes any subject from the Great War that wasn't a proper fighting machine, but rather one of those which supported the combat troops indirectly.This might include, but not be limited to: locomotives, supply tanks, trucks, ambulances e.t...

Hi there, first of all "A happy new Year". I think some of you remember this little one: [/URL] Well, I made some progress and put some paint on it. The base coat is Mr. Surfacer 1200 and the...
?Good day to all off you. I have scratched build this model in the past few weeks. I am aware of the big wheels problem on this example but I will work in future on this. Unfortunately, I am was not able to find decals with O.H.M.S. sign. If you manage to do so, please let me know. ? -- Edited by ZigZag on Sunday...
I'm working on building the Airfix Mark II at the moment, and I've got the new Masterbox Mark I on the bench; are there any good small scale infantry figures out there, ideally in casual poses rather than in action, which I can use with them?? When I built the Emhar Mark IV I found some figures in their set w...
Just been re-reading Camp Colt to Desert Storm: The History of U.S. Armored Forces. The Great War part is mostly chunks of Treat 'Em Rough! by Dale Wilson. At the moment I can't get hold of my copy of the latter, so I'm not sure whether the chapter is transplanted wholesale or whether parts of it are rewri...
I had only ever seen until recently one photo of a Russian 305-mm howitzer built in 1915, which depicted it in the factory with a flat shield at the front of the mounting. A week or so ago, I stumbled across loads of material online, including the fact that it still exists and is exhibited in Russia! There...
This first picture is of my dad sitting on the British Tank Britannia (later the name was changed to "Liberty") while on a war bond drive in Chicago in 1917. ?The tank needed repair and was brought to Marine Iron Works and the whole company was photographed on it. ?(my Dad is at the arrow) ?The...
Hello all. Maybe some of you had already heard about that, but I found an interesting source of photographs of German artillery from WWI. I'm talking about so-called Walter Koessler project. As I was getting ready to leave home after Thanksgiving, almost two years ago, my mom said she had something t...
At least some of you will be aware that the US Ordnance Dept commissioned and evaluated a large number of types of SPGs from 1917-22. Unlike the British and French SPG designs these weren't based on tank chassis since the US had no suitable tank chassis available. Rather they were based on commercial H...

I would prefer you contact me directly (you have my e-mail address in your system) so I can di...

Greetings and Salutations. I know there's several other posts relating to this vehicle here on landships, but try as I have, I've been unable to secure any more information.... the ever elusive "scale drawing" that I so desperately seek has yet to be posted. I'm wondering if anyone else h...
