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/...

"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?

I had the above cast up with the Cavalry set. Before I release them I would like to an an etch for the harness and other bits to make it more realistic. Has any one any "simple" plans pics or whatever showing what I need to have etched up. I know I have asked before but these horse strappings etc I c...

Bit early but owing to work and travel I probably won't get the chance to post this before the big day - merry christmas to all Landshippers, here's a 1917 card in my collection ?
Couple of questions on the hydraulic ram/pump/jack on the back of a MkI. Were they all armoured (or covered or plated) like the one on Sir Archibald in Gaza, or was that just a Palestine Detachment?modification? What way up were they? The Airfix instructions direct you to put the cylinder at the botto...

? One of the articles we copied over from the original Landships website was an article on the "Renault and Schneider porteurs" by Tim Rigsby. Reading through this article shows that it has some deficiencies. The Renault FB was an artillery portee vehicle but the Schneider CD was a tracke...

Were there any French ground units at any time in WW1 wearing the tunic (vareuse) rather than the usual coat (capote) together with puttees in combat? So far I think this became common towards the end of the war. In 1914-1917, it seems the Chasseurs Alpines and later tank crews wore this dress, while ca...
