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...

But unfortunately I hit a snag while I was studying the photos. ?The upperwooden structureI tried to...

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this a very intersting archive: http://www.oldphoto.info/ ("This homepage is specialised on collection of authentic unpublished military & civilian pictures and postcards.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,
Behind the Station in Ypres, there is a bunker and i think for light fieldguns. I need of course prove. So i ask if any guy have here pictures from the Ypres Station wich you can see an bunker? I think the bunker is built in 1918 because the Germans have push the British back to Ypres after the Spring Offensi...

I'm using MK1 Nut's drawings for my project, thanks again. The rivet count and locations are clear as are the location of the hatch and louvers. It is not clear if the louvers go up and out or down and out, does the hatch fit flush with the bulkhead or sit outside of the bulkhead. I've spent some time this mo...
