While browsing through Google Books the other day, I came across the publication Power Wagon Reference Book, (PWR) which included a number of blueprints of American trucks circa 1920. ?As most trucks of the day were equipped with a cutsom body added to a standard chassis, only the latter and a few cab...
Hi all After a chat to PDA over the last couple of weeks, we came to the subject of this build.. and I suddenly realised I hadn't shared it. ?Considering all the help everyone has given me, the least I can to is show you the results. Here is the finished result I'm not entirely sure that this later scheme was...
Has anyone been to this new museum? Tried searching the forum but couldn't see any previous mention of it. It looks absolutely superb, and so much for Landshippers, just from what i've gleaned from photos they have; Latil TAR Renault AG (Marne Taxi) Renault FT with riveted turret and 37mm cannon Berl...
I have some photos of the Ruston Proctor loco at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life. The info board?states that it is a 'direct copy of a German design' except for the engine, I haven't seen a Deutz quite the same in detail, can any of our railway experts?confirm that it is a 'direct copy'? Thanking you in an...
I just seen in the General Discussion Group on Missing-Lynxs that Italeri is releasing a new mold 1/35 scale Renault FT tank. I do know if this has been mentioned on the site but it is good news!
Citizens! Finally got round to writing up on Bovington. Some of this will be old news, because the ?16million refit was completed nearly 4 years ago. Anyone who lives within easy reach of the place will wonder what all the fuss is about, but it's a question of time and a 500 mile round trip for me, so I can'...
Again this is a poor photo, ?but you can make out the two steam engines pulling the tank along. ? Note the spontoon are removed. ?Can't make out what the tank is loaded on.
I want to scratchbuild a model of the German K-Wagen, and I have found this site to be?most helpful.? The only thing holding me back is that I can't find the crew entrance hatch(es.)? They do not seem to be on the sponsons, as with the British tanks, or on the hull.? I can only see one hatch on top for the driv...
Caption on this reads British troops on their way to the front, 1914. The double-decker in the centre is, I think, a B-Type, and the charabanc in front of it seems to be?the rather rarer?B-Type single-decker. The troops on the top deck are wearing side-caps, which?I don't think the French had by this t...
I've recently built a gun emplacement to go with the W^D 18 pdr, some photos below. It would be possible to cast these, would anyone be interested in buying this kind of thing as an accessory? Mike -- Edited by mike_m on Sunday 9th of December 2012 12:01:54 PM
I've attached a rather poor pic of a female MkIV that fell victim to a K-Flak( just visible to the left ). ? Can anyone make out the tank's name ? -- Edited by 28juni14 on Thursday 24th of January 2013 05:53:09 PM
This give the phrase "riding shotgun" a whole new meaning: Anyone has a clue which car type is this? Is there any 3 view drawings of it? Note the markings... can this give any clue of where and when this photo was taken? D. Though about making a joke about "a whole staff car". Or &quo...
Hello, Don't think this? (armed) tricycle was ever used during WW1 but I think it are "funny" pictures. Arms (2) are? Lightweight Maxim .303 Cal I suppose. DJ
...well almost, if you want to pay the postage it's yours. ? Seeing as I don't do 1/35 scale anymore I'll never get around to finishing this scratch build, it's a 1914 pattern Rolls Royce armoured car it's even got an interior with decaled instrument faces (that you can't see!). ? First PM gets it. ? Chee...
I'm not sure whether there's anyone using this Forum that can see BBC Wales programmes (except me!) but tomorrow night the above programme will include a feature on WW1 tanks in Merthyr Tydfil.? This must be (a) Julian (of which there's a silver model in Cyfarthfa Castle Museum in Merthyr) and (b) the...
I am building the Reviresco 1/72 model of their Austin putilov armored car. i was wondering what color to paint it? I know some were painted grey will Tamaiya XF-20 do or green. Service use what i know: 52 made from March 1919-1920 in service until 1932. I also know several were deployed against Yudenic...
