Hi It's been a few years between post but I am in the process of building a large scale model of an 18 pounder and need information on the correct shade of green used . Regards Terry
Off to north Wales in a weeks time, near Caernarfon, and was wondering if anything WW1 related to see in the area? I know some of the narrow gauge railways have WW1 stock but not sure if it's possible to access the sheds where they will most likely be held. Any artillery pieces in local museums etc?
I am starting to get images for the next lot of figures.One set I would like to do is the above.How many were in the team??? Has anyone got any good images of a Lewis gun team in the usual W^D relaxed pose style. Many thanks
Hello,? during the searching for photos on the internet, I have found this photo, which I want to use as a marking of my new model 1:35. I expected that the tank served in 2.B Batallion. I dont know if it is true and I dont know the deployment history of MARK V. The second thing I see in the picture is the hump o...

Now you can see the my 155iger in scale 1:72... Today I`m ready for airbrushing...the kit is very fine and one of the best by Retrokit/ -tracks for my meaning... The chains and bails for recoil will be fixed after brushing... This pic shows the position of the canon in the following diorama...
I was wondering about the 1/35th scale kits they produce. My friend managed to pick up a whippet for very little money and I was quite impressed with final model. how ever, the less said about the tracks the better! So I was wondering what you all would consider a good starting point for a 1/35th kit and wh...
Hi, I'm new in the forum and in the world of WWI modelling. Would anybody so kind to tell me if any manufacturer produce metal barrels for WWI models? (I'm afraid the answer will be no) I have the Emhar kit for Mk IV male and the barrels are horrible. And any other kind of aftermarkets? (photoetched parts,...
Hi. I'm Roberto from Spain. In the last ten years I was very fond of modelling. I'd like WWII vehicles very much, but in the last weeks my interest in WWI tanks and vehicles has been increasing. A friend of mine talked to me about this site and here am I, ready to learn and share what I know. ? Post data: I apol...
Hi All, While working on the sponson drawings for the 1/6 scale MK1, I came across a photo of the Lewis gun and noticed it seemed to have an extra part to it. From what I can tell it is an extra bar above the barrel to protect the sight and tip from rubbing on the flap. I don't see it on lewis guns used away from ta...
Found this forum when looking for the old Landships website. Living in Accrington, Lancashire WW1 has a big significance. I was involved in 90th anniversary of the Somme locally, and next year has so much more potential so am working on a few modelling and art projects based on WW1. For WW1 my preferre...
What a wonderful day: after few months do hard work I've finished scratchbuild the German 210 mm howitzer. This model is made out of resin. Thanks to silicone forms I can make plenty pieces of this gun . Who knows maybe its the begining of a new model manunacture? On the last pics You can see a Hat artillet...
Haven't found earlier links to this ordnance site posted elsewhere so including a couple now: http://www.lexpev.nl/index.html - I haven't gone through the text and photos in any detail but seems to include a considerable amount of...

Good news, according to the Daily Mail. It seems Maplin is starting to sell a cheaper 3d printer. Not that the price they're quoting is cheap, but like DVD players a decade ago, it seems that the cost is starting to come down. Hopefully in a few years more they'll be within the reach of many model-makers....
Talk of Fine Molds models elsewhere on this forum reminds me that, if the 1920s aren't too late a period for this website, modellers may like to know that a version of the Japanese Type 89 medium tank in 1/35 is available in a slightly unexpected form at a fraction of the original price. The?original Fin...

Hello all Excuse please my strange question. Today I saw a box of 1/35 scale Dragon French Soldiers from 1940 in green uniforms. Unfortunately I hadn't much time to have a closer look at the figures. The box art showed soldiers in green coats similar to the horizon blue ones, green Adrian (?) helmets an...
