After seeing footage of the De Bange 120mm firing I somehow fell in love with this gun and decided to build the FSF kit. Apart from France what countries used it? So far I know of Romania and Finnland although I haven't been able to find any pictures of Finnish ones so far. I'd really appreciate any inform...
Hello, here I am again with another odd question. (Oh no!) It's about the viewing slits in the Mark IV's. I came to notice this while looking at the various pictures of the rear "door"above the petrol tank. The APG tank, Grit and Lodestar have a thick steel plate with small drilled holes to lo...
Hi All, Sorry about no updates to my MK1 plans, hopefully now that my enthusiasm is returning, progress will happen at last. Anyhow.... Lady luck has seen fit for me to get my hands on a Makerbot 3D printer. ?Actually it belongs to my brother Rae, but as I'm more computer clued up than him, I get to play wit...
If anyone is near Banbury, Oxfordshire, there's a model shop that has a forgotten corner with quite a few Emhar WWI tank kits and figure sets. ?http://www.modelshops.co.uk/Trinder-Bros-Model-Shop-Banbury-196.htmlThey're giving away Pocketbond catalogues. Sorry if this is old news, but th...
I know I have asked before but at long last I am doing the instructions (have had a set of transfers made up) The one thing I haven't got is good images of the ambulance in service.Those who have bought W^D kits will know that I like to include some pictures of the real thing as well. Has anyone any pics. Here...
Hello, I'm new to the forum and I introduce myself. I'm 59 years old and work in a bank?. I am French (nobody's perfect...) and? I am interested more by AFV history than modelism even if in my boyhood Airfix kits building was a very exciting hobby. My favourite scale is 1.72/76 and my main purpose nowaday...
Final reference to the Festive Season. Sat through "Lawrence of Arabia" again over Xmas - can't remember what day, obviously - and observed a couple of MGs in Ottoman hands that didn't look right. I'm sure one was a M1914 Hotchkiss, and the other appeared to be some sort of air-cooled arran...
Hello all. I am building a model kit of MARK V FEMALE version now. For the model I choose as the appearance vehicle from the time of the Hindenburg line battle, which is recently published by Jaroslav K. But unfortunately I hit a snag while I was studying the photos. ?The upperwooden structureI tried to...
Hi just this minute sign up on the dotted line to the forum after a few years of browsing this site, so hello to all. I have always had an interest in WW1 tanks and modeling. At the moment i am trying to find an RC WW1?tank either a Mk1 to a Mkv in any scale but there's not much about unless you have very large wad...
I have completed the beta-build of the Crompton ED3 cardmodel in 1/72 scale.? This version has open front doors, so the interior is modeled, too.? There is an inner part and an outer shell, that wraps around the inner part. The first photo (#761)?shows the interior with engines and driver's position...
Hi there, I've uped my scale recently to 1:32 and have put the 1:285 stuff on hold for a while. I'm making 3 section models to show how trenches were constructed. I have 3 of them. 1 is an ideal trench, well built and with a large sump. 2 is a typical trench built with whatever the guys could get hold of and und...

I've been looking at Philthydirtyanimals tank pictures for more than a year, and thought about building a MK1 for some time. I logged on here and found Helens great prints. Thank you Helen. ? I just finished a Rolls Royce armored car and wanted a new challenge, the Rolls is "24 long and I thought th...
So I bought this map tube the other day in some antique shop and it had a tag on it that said "WW1 Map Holder".? I'm not sure how true that may be. I just bought it because I liked it, but I was hoping someone could possibly verify whether it's even from the time period. It looks old, smells old. I lo...
There seems to be several models of a Van Duren mortar, I think the orriginal design only used the spigot type of grenade, as you can see the barrel looks to have thinner walls so a 70 mm bore grenade should fit over it, the resemblance to the 58mm number 1a is interesting, it also looks like a Van Duren gren...
Sorry if this is old news, but I find this a very intersting archive: http://www.oldphoto.info/ ("This homepage is specialised on collection of authentic unpublished military & civilian pictures and postcards. You can find here facts about Austro-Hungarian imperial army, Czechosl...
What was the equipment of the Belgian artillery at the outbreak of the war in July/Aug 1914? I can find just the Krupp 75 mm as modern quickfiring guns, but was there anything else? And how much of the Krupps did they have? Kind regards,
