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...

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...

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...
Hi, after purchasing a copy of the Owner's Workshop Manual about the Mark IV tank by David Fletcher I found that I could build a really well detailed and accurate model of the tank, using the original blueprints in the book. I've started working on a virtual 3D-model in CAD to base the model on, but the pr...
Strelet models do have their problems but with a bit care (and a good knife and some HaT heads!) you can end up with a reasonable model. I am also grateful to the forum member who suggested modification to the wheels which I have followed. Role on the 9.2"!
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.
