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

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.?

Service use what i know: 52 made from March 1919-1920 in service until 1932. I also know several were deployed against Yudenic...
An old post card ; ? looks like these troops are on detail and maybe pre-war. ? You have to enjoy the Dragoon off to the side watering his horse. -- Edited by 28juni14 on Wednesday 16th of January 2013 04:16:42 AM
Dear all, ? please take my apologies if I should have post it somewhere else in the forum. ? Does anyone have knowledge about this enameled badge? Did this badge exist in reality or is it just phantasy? Is it genuine or counterfeit? ? Kind Regards Chris
In addition to making more St.Chamonds - Char Caisson for instance, I plan on a FCM1A, Crompton ED3 and an Oberschliessen.? There are still some M1's and M2's to be added to the set.

Some time ago I'm sure someone enquired about a Schneider tank with an area of what looked like 'cross-hatched' camouflage markings. I can't find the post now, despite searching for ages, but I found the attached image in Paul Malmassari's excellent Les chars de la Grande Guerre which shows a Schnei...

Citizens! Just returned from Bov. Last visited 5/6 yrs ago, before refurb.
Can report that new set up is magnificent in almost every respect. One or two reservations, and one cause for concern.
Have plenty of pics to post, and some news and items of considerable interest to impart - some of which...
Could be nothing (probably is), but on looking through the photos i purchased from Bovi of the last MK1... I think I found some lettering.? Unfortunately the glossy photo shows what is left of some lettering better than my scans, so I have coloured the bits I can trust are 'something'.?The letter is ju...
G'day gentlemen, ? Hoping to ID this particular tank by the partial numbers --62 to the right of the sponson. No clues on the reverse either, just a letter from a French soldier to his wife and daughter. ? "Cher Francine et Claudine, j'ai recu votre lettre du 20 avec le mandat de 10 dont je vous remer...
