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....

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about the color of the tanks at Gaza? I am doing a model of a Mk IV at the Third Battle of Gaza and was wondering what color to paint it. Thanks in advance for replies.

These, improvised to provide some sort of answer to the Boer "Long Toms", were used in the seizure of German South West Africa. I do have some data on them - is anyone interested in me working it up to add to the artillery articles? Similarly, the 10 pdr and 2.75" mountain guns played a ro...

Further to the enquiry about U.S. troops' protective clothing, I've found the illustration of the waterproofs. It was in Mollo & Turner, not Funcken. -- Edited by James H on Monday 8th of July 2013 05:00:25 PM
