Does anyone know what material this was made of?? In most?photos it looks like some sort of panel material with a couple of bends in it - where it meets the track and then when it leaves it. Also - although provision for this seems to have been built at the factory on all tanks, it seems to appear in somewhat...
I have found a gun where there should be no gun, and I should like to know where it came from. Can anybody suggest what the number on the breech might be? I don't want to unduly influence anybody, but I will say that I am 99% certain the number begins with 152. All the images are of the same gun, just taken from...

Hi, i have some questions. I found some information: Question 1: The battalion was active on the Kemmel on April 25, 1918.

For those not aware of it, there has been an IPMS Great War SIG (Special Interest Group) running for about 18 months which covers all areas of modelling of the subject.? The SIG produces an excellent newsletter, in my opinion as good as many off the shelf magazines, the most recent issue being produced...

The Great War Different - a superb website, seems to be vanished totally. It was long broken, but now the black hole of the bit space seems to eaten all remains also... I found nothing anymore. ? Has anyone any idea about this??
Hi, I'm new here.? I'm thinking of doing a few WWI models in the next few years, as a sort of commemoration of the centenary of the Great War, and I'm thinking about the first rhomboid tank; Mother.? I understand that the Airfix 1/76th scale tank can be converted to a real Mark I, but it's going a bit furthe...
RetrokiT! have released another variant of the Saint Chamond, and some of their range will disappear, possibly forever, after April 2014. They state: "Just out are the latest variant of the Saint-Chamond tank..." "My co-operation with Wespe Models of Romania will continue unti...

WW2 figures!)??Having picked up a Matador tadpole set for a couple of quid i thought I would also have a go! Yes you can see the join - the rivits are a different si...
Plastic Soldier Review have reviewed Strelets' 1/72 8in Mark VII Howitzer and 6in Mark XIX Gun. They don't like them! For the 8in Mk VII, PSR says, "Those with a good eye will have noticed that there is no picture of the gun on this page. This is because in our view the model is so bad it is very nearly i...

I haven't been able to find too much info so far. What does this have to do with WW1?? Well, I imagine many got destroyed in the war; in fact WW1 was, politically and socially speaking, the end of the old period of royalty and social rank in Europe.? Said manor house would be a symbol of it. I was thinking not...
