Saw this on the Miniatures page forum. Very impressed! Doing research on a WWI/1920's era rpg/skirmish game. I'll be zipping around at top speed of 6mph. Thanks!

Apologies, as I've not been active on the board in a while... but I'm about to commence my first project for several years and have discovered my kit only has partial instructions! This appears to be a print collation error at the factory. I am missing steps 3 to 16, in otherwords the assembly of the whol...

Acc to Martin Gilbert's First World War, the Allies evacuated 1,718 "vehicles" and 186 heavy guns from Gallipoli, and left 1,590 "vehicles" behind. I'm surprised by these large numbers. I've always thought of it as being an extremely crowded place with not much call (or room...
Hi all! Since this is my first post here, a few words on myself first: My name is Peter Rathgeb, I am 55 years old, and I live in Switzerland. My main interest is the Polish army 1918-22, as well as all fractions involved in the Russian Civil War during the same timeframe (Reds, Whites, Don Army, Czech Legi...

Probably the best 18 pounder displayed anywhere - has all the bits and pieces and both the upper and lower part of the shield (believe the upper part was a late war addition), and also the armoured cover for the oil reservoir on the recuperator, a fine Great War example ?

1902 built example of the tiny 10 Pounder mountain gun, used by 4th (Highland) Mountain Brigade, Royal Garrison Artillery at Gallipoli as well as Indian Mountain Artillery units, including some at Gallipoli, before changing for the 2.75 inch mountain gun and later 3.7 inch mountain gun ? [IMG]htt...
1939 built example, but I believe identical to WW1 (1917 onwards) production. Also two 1930's pack mule training aids ? ? [IMG]https://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk2...
1918 built 6 inch 26 cwt howitzer. It's a modernised example with pneumatic tyres and new wheels, but apart from this I believe it's in WW1 condition ? ? [IMG]htt...
Walkaround of the lovely little 2.75 inch mountain gun - used by British and Empire forces, especially in Palestine and Salonika. I can send original sized photos to anyone interested - a model of one in 1/76 or 1/72 would be superb! My great-grandad was a mountain gunner with 4th (Highland) Mountain...
1918 built example of the British anti-aircraft gun, used on static pedestal emplacements or on the back of Peerless lorries, or sometimes on towed trailers (such as a two wheeled trailer and towed by a Royal Navy Fiat in the defence of London in WW1)? ? [IMG]https://i282.photobucket.com/albums/...
Just reading the item in Landships II, about the Renault TSF. There are four known survivors, none complete. In addition to Saumur's example, there's one at Fort du Zeiterholz, Entrange[img]http://lh4.google.nl/Rene.Kappert/R4PVXELctyI/AAAAAAAAAeM/vWadJPHsId4/s400/FT-17%20TSF%20...
"A-Zug", "B-Zug" and "C-Zug" this is a heavy car train of Ferdinand Porsche. What is the difference? Because the truck was for "B-Zug" and "C-Zug" the same Artillerie-Generatorwagen M16.
One for James (and every one else) I have just had an order from Knut from Norway,included was a couple for the above. This puzzled me so I asked what the interest was.Knut informed me that the British supplied the A/A's to Norway in the Great War as there was a threat of Zepplin raids by the Germans. I alwa...
Kept thinking about converting the ex-Keilkraft kit into a WW1 era Thornycrot lorry. It seems you'd have to go from this (theoretically, the kit is much simplified): to this: Wonder if anyone knows both ends well and can list the mods/adds needed?
