Apart from a few tanks and a couple of small Fords there are not many kits for those wanting to model WW1? in 1/35 scale. I normally search using 'WW1' but just tried 'WWI' on ebay and found a few more kits, sadly out of my price range. The French Schneider tank can be found in USA as a resin kit, as can the USA v...
Hi, Not really spectacular but I find it a nice picture. Explanation says it is in 1914 in Rib?mont. Strategical gauge (suppose that means narrow gauge), garded by French engineer troups. DJ
What do you think...? Is this a captured Canon de 155 L Mod?le 1877 in service with the German Fuss-Artillerie?? Back of photo is dated 23 July 1915, possibly at an exercise area near Lille.
Purchased this, and cheated a bit by getting the English version. It's actually translated into American English, which is occasionally a bit slangy for my taste. Was the A7V prototype really taken on "a shake-down run"? The personal and family material to which Ms Zincke obviously had...
Don't think we've had this before. It's an Ebay job. Described as '7 1/2" X 16" Photo of a Mock-up of Famous Liberty Tank of WWI, c1918.'That's all I can tell you. Anyone know what's going on here? ?
I'm on the lookout for photos of the British 6in Gun Mark XIX. I have the article written; just need to populate it with some nice photos, blueprints, etc. Only copyright free ones please: don't want to get Landships into trouble.
Short film of Renault's contribution to WWI. Includes after 4'55" modern footage of FTs in workshop and being driven. Explanation by Col Dubois of the Mus?e des Blind?s (who had absconded with?the keys to the display cabinet in his pocket?when I was there). http://www.dailymotion.com/vid...
Came across this today in a well-known bookshop: "The First World War in 100 Objects; the Story of the Great War Told Through the Objects that Shaped It." Author: Professor Gary Sheffield. Quite by chance, I heard on the radio earlier that today is "Super Thursday" - the day whe...
Thought I'd start the Saumur news with probably the biggest item of interest. If you, like me, thought that L'Aube de la Gloire by Alain Gougad was out of print and unobtainable, think again. It's not on Amazon, Price Minister, or anywhere else as far as I can see, except on a rare books site for 150 euros...
I came across this rc model of a MKV Tank today, looks really good. He used a combination of MDF, Plastic and parts he printed on a MakerBot 3D printer. Be nice if he could copy his article over to this site, always inspirational to see how others work. Helen x ?? http://www.instructables.com/id/RC-re...
Hope this hasn't been posted before but I thought I'd alert you all to the fact that Gallica has started putting online the French army's Revue d'infanterie. As the tanks were subsumed into the infantry arm post-war there are a lot of articles about the French tanks in the war. Of course, it is all in Fre...
Hi All This is my first post on this forum.? I have written?articles?on Air/Tank co-operation in WW1, but I am still seeking further information.? During July 1918, 8 Sqn.? RAF was undertaking a series of trials with the Tank Corps, trying out various means of communications.? 'C' Flt. of the squadr...
Not much to go by since the carriage is hidden.? But I believe this to be a 10cm Kanone 1899.? The postcard was sent from Juterbog in Oct 1916.? Any assistance appreciated to confirm or deny my identification... ? ?
I bought a couple of items on ebay a few months ago, but since my scanner is not working, only just got a friend to scan them for me. The first is a modern negative, appears to be an internegative (ie a negative made from a negative) showing a destroyed tank. ?The second is a glass positive. The auction call...
I just saw on the Braille Scale forum of Missing Lynx that Master Box is going to release a 1?72 Mk. I Male and Female tank form the Somme, 1916. If this happens this will make the Airfix kit obsolete. I differently will buy two!
I've been wondering if the book by David Fletcher "Landships: British Tanks in the First World War" from 1984 is worth getting. Perhaps the more specialized books like the one by the same author of the Mk.I and the Mk.IV are better investments? Do any of those titles bring good scale drawin...

I know this has come up before, but I don't think there was a consensus! The model guns in the pics below are from Strelets Russo-Turkish War range. I am wondering if they could be useful for WW1. Could this Russian Mountain Gun be a French Schneider Mountain Gun (I think Schneider sold a lot of guns to Rus...
In that same bookshop, hardback and paperback copies of The Wipers Times. Apart from the well-known spoof tribute to the tanks by "Teech Bomas" in the December, 1916 issue, there's also a short paragraph that reads: "We notice much discussion going on in our English contemporarie...
