Since I had some success with the Archer Details I decided to try and correct the Emhar Mk IV sponsons using a drawing from a Polish book in my reference resources. I cut the rear of the sponson to the correct angle and glued .040 styrene to the back of the sponson and sanded it smooth. I am using the Landshi...

? Thinking beyond the project on the 75mm Krupp guns.... Krupp also exported 15cm howitzers before WW1 in modest numbers. There is some information around on these howitzers but like the 75mm field guns it seems to be fragmented and sometimes confusing. I think it might be a worth while exercise to un...
Just got those - about ?8.50 each in the UK. Nice enough but a bit pricey and not much of relevance to the GW though they may be worth a look especially if you have wider interests. Might be worth a look though?you might want to check the box art first for variants - ?http://www.riichmodel.com?and check t...

The current plan is for it to be hardback, A4 size, 200 pages long, have about 20 pages of text,and 360 photographs of WW1 trucks in British army service. My question to you (hopefully...
Now out. Hard plastic parts to make two complete guns. Choice of folded low/transport position and erected tripod with seat. Costs about ?8 in the UK. (They also do another variant more typical of the Great Patriotic War, so watch what you buy.) Also of interest is the boxtop logo - "WW1" an...
This gun had various mounts and calibres, but the de Stefano mount for the 305 mm howitzer was the most impressive.? It was made by the Armstrong works in Italy. Has anybody got scale drawings of this beast? Tony ?

? Hi! At the same time I worked on the 105mod 13, I completed the new FT from Meng. Even not such easy to built due to complicated adjustments, the kit is just some kind of jewel you can built strait out of the box without any after market. I builded six or seven RPM models, and even not so bad, they are just dif...

I assume that this model that appeared on a Facebook profile today is about 1/72 or 1/76. I don't know the author, but it looks great. How I would wish to see some in-progress shots! ?
? Recently been reading Guy Fran?ois' article in GBM #98 about the FCM 1A tank. The argument in the article was that the development of the FCM 1A was originally promoted by Gen. Mourret who had visited England and had been impressed by the capabilities of marine workshops in England and thought that i...
