Hello, I am a new member who has an odd item from our family posessions. I am hoping I'll be able to upload a couple of images below.It is a model tank with cannon that 'fires' a coin into the body of the tank. It appears to be cast in a light metal possibly aluminium. The tank measures about 9" long by 4&...
Hello, I am not sure if this is the correct Forum topic but here it goes... Does anyone know what the shell colors were for the British 6" Howitzer?? The only reference I could find was this photo from the Ian Hogg book on Allied Artillery of WWI. Thanks in advance, Rob for the USA
I just finished a Roden 1920 Rolls Royce. The idea was to depict a late RAF mark1a pattern deployed in the Middle East in the late thirties. The kit is rather nice but needs some improvement and as the large tyre is not available yet (may be from Hussard some day?) the closest I've found is the desert tyre f...
Okay, this is definitely not WW1, or even close, but the roughly rhomboid shape (the tracks are suggestive of a bloated Char 2C overdosed on steroids) and casemated armament give it a decidedly retro look even for 1940, so I thought it might be entertaining to chuck it in here. Described as a 'Movable M...
At the casters at this moment but one set of the new W^D figure sets,W^D 32 Pioneers. The figures and the picture used for the masters. If you would like pic's of the other sets then let me know. Comments appreciated.
Any plans around for those machines? I found elements for WWII in patents but so far nothing on the Parabolo?de Baillaud or other exotic devices (t?l?sitem?tre Perrin for example). Those would make intriguing models ... Thank you JCC
Someone - who IIRC contributes to this forum - once posted a very short film clip on Youtube that briefly showed the Marienwagen II in action in a city street during a civil disturbance of some kind. Anyone remember it? Anyone know who it was and what happened to it?
Help to find urgently the documentation on tanks in a format PDF The book in a format is very urgently necessary PDF "A compendium of drawings of?Tank Mark V-IX and of some experimental tank"???? 1918Y.
This was retrieved and restored by the Army Museum of Western Australia, Victoria Barracks, Fremantle.? Described as a Krupp "105mm Turkish Light Field Howitzer" I find myself questioning some of the museum's detail.? Such as "Range 6.3 kilomtres" and "Weight 1.225...

?Hello, ???? I live in the US in the state of Idaho( you guys probably do not know were that is).? I am an avid? WW1 German modeller, just getting started, and have loved to research WW1 ever since I was ten years old and did a essay on the Battle of the Somme.? I live and work on a farm, so please do expect me pos...
Hello, Here is one of my recent models.? It is the 1/32 Hecker?& Goros?Skoda 30.5 Morser.? This is a great kit - far better than the ancient Superior white metal kit from years back. The only required bit of refinement needed (in my opinion) is to hollow out the openings on the morser's carriage bas...
? Has anyone found the scan of - "Handbook of the Tractor Caisson, Mark VII, Model 1918"It seems that Google has scanned it but there's no indication how to get access to the scan.The background is that the US imported a French Schneider CD artillery tractor in 1918. Some of the features of t...
I am grateful to a friend for showing me this picture. Until I know what it is, I don't know what category to put it in. Doesn't ring a bell with me, but sorry if it's a well-known one. It's rather Vezdekhod-ish. -- Edited by James H on Tuesday 4th of June 2013 01:23:52 PM
What a Heath-Robinson contraption! One survived in 1939, I assume it was scrapped shortly after, unless anyone knows where it is? http://derela.republika.pl/a...
Hi all, I just received a copy of a reproduction 1918 manual titled "Tank Mechanical Maintenance, Mark IV Tank" that I ordered on-line.? It covers engine and track maintenance, including useful information such as how to change a track and what to do if your engine runs light, but misfire...

After a month or so?of detailing the Bull Models 6" howitzer it is finally painted.? I hope you like it.? Not sure why the?background changed color between shots. Any comments or c...
The photo PDA posted of J12 Jericho in this current thread?made me think: why did some tanks have regular spacing of grousers and others have groups of them, interspersed with stretches of normal track. A post by Gwyn Evans in the linked thread states that the tanks of that particular battalion had gr...
