Attached are photos of a MK V that was used for a landmine demonstration in 1926.? The press caption on the back reads, "Shells and mines in test tear tanks to fragments at Camp Meade Maryland. That mines and artillery can stop the dreaded tank of world war times was demonstrated by unique test con...
I was into modelling when I was a kid/teen, but it always somehow ended up wrong with glue stains on model, badly fit stuff, etc. Has anyone here made a progression from a very bad modeller to a very good modeller?
Hi everyone, ? After a bit of a break from modelling I'm making a start on the Strelets 6" Mk VII. This is my second attempt at this kit and this time I'm going to make the wheels a little wider and change the carriage type to a version where the gun sits a bit higher (I think this is the version shown on th...
Hello,?My name is Anton and I am from Moscow, Russia.I am thinking on building the Emhar 1/72 MK IV with open roof in order to show interior and with already build Salvage tank to simulate engine replacement.

I'm considering modeling this (Emhar 1:35 with AA tracks) and have some questions, if anyone has answers to any of them.? Some of the questions may be silly due to my newness to all this; many are also implied, vs. being asked outright.?I have a copy of Chris Ellis' late 60's Military Modeling column in...
Hello everyone! ? It's been absolutely fantastic to stumble upon this page!? For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by the Great War.??

Hi all, I need some informed opinions in relation to this vehicle. ?I am attempting to build a model using the Roden RRAC as a base with some scratchbuilding of the upper structures. I am after your thoughts on where the top exhaust pipe would go. It appears to join as one pipe and then into the rear of the c...

I attach a photo of a Mk V* which seems to show a door level with the front turret. I cannot find a front side door on all the photos I have or on the plans I got from Bovington. Can anyone shed any light on this? ? Tony
I am very interested in the history of dogs that pulled in the war. We have a very large Newfoundland that pulls a variety of vintage carts at steam fairs etc and have put together a small collection of pictures of dogs pulling a variety of carts. The most interested picture I have is of a battalion of sold...
I?ve just read in WIKIPEDIA (German version) that the Parabellum MG14 was modified and in Infantry use later the war. Does anybody got furher information? Or maybe pics/ photos? Heres the Wiki entry: "Anfangs nur selten an die Infanterie ausgegeben, erschienen gegen Ende des Krieges gr??er...
Does anyone have any information on the Royal Marines uniform as worn in 1914?? I have seen some drawings showing the dark blue with red piping, naval cap without peak and white webbing but any more help on this would be much appreciated ? Mike
In 1915 (or rather 1916), the Germans introduced a lighter pack consisting of the greatcoat covered by the tent section and rolled round the mess tin. This was used until well after WW1, I think at least Freikorps and Reichswehr seem to have regularly used the same arrangement. Could anyone please te...

Hello.? I recently visited the FT 17 "Five of Hearts" at Fort Meade and have a few questions that I hope the members of this forum can answer.? The first question is about the tank's camouflage scheme, which while stunning its appearance, seems to me to be a fantasy paint job.? Is it even clos...

Hi all, ? For a quick project I decided to test-paint an Emhar mark IV female based on pictures of Lodestar in Brussells as reference. Previous attempts always turned out too green or the brown too drab and uninteresting. To shake things up a bit this time I used some Games Workshop paints that I picked u...
I have read that the bow MG on some captured Mk IVs was replaced with an A/T rifle. Does anyone have a drawing or picture of this weapon? (Doing a beutepanzer). Tony
Its a while since I went to this site to look at the line drawing of artillery pieces - especially the heavy British artillery. Unfortunately the site has been closed down. Any suggest about how to look at them or is it tough luck and Kens' diagrams are lost!
