This has been my bedtime reading for a couple of weeks. It covers the period from the build-up to war to the end of 1914. The sabre-rattling of the decaying Austro-Hungarian Empire, the support leant to it by Germany and the Entente's response to this, through to the sclerotising of the frontline in Fr...
Based on the photo in Kosar's "Artillerie in 20. Jahrhundert", I first thought this Bulgarian gun is a Obuchow 153mm Cannon M04.? But then I read online that most of Bulgaria's artillery came from Krupp in Germany and this piece could be a Krupp 15cm Kanone M1892. ? As always, thanks in adva...

tried a search and could not find anything. Just wondering what colour the French used for their narrow gauge trains near the front. I am currently designing some 3D printed narrow gauge railway models in 1/35 scale. Fairly happy with British colours, suspect French will probably be similar.
Hello All. ok so it isn't really a webinar (Although I wish it were perhaps I'll tinker with posting videos as I go? along) Reading through a few threads here lately the idea that the forum has become 'moribund' has surfaced. To show that it hasen't I've taken the opportunity to show you all what I like to...

The colour chip of this looks like a Panzer grey - a dark grey -? whereas Feld Grau is a greenish-grey. Hundleby and Strasheim give the basic colour as German field grey (p167). Presumably, this wo...

I guess I can create some text for these, although the Medium D (*) will be a challenge, there don't seem to be many images of these tanks around - anyone help please? Regards,...
New to WW1 tanks and picked up the Airfix male at the weekend as a nostalgia/relaxing build between other projects. In the great review/article on this site the author says If you want to make a Mk II or III, the wheeled tail must be removed and the holes in the sides should be filled in. The holes in the rea...
