Dear all, again I would like to share with you something from my collection. Today I bought a death card of a Bavarian Tanker of the "Bayerische Strumpanzerwagenabteilung No. 13". He was heavy wounded in the first combat action of the Bavarian tank unit, which was on 27th May 1918. The next...
Charlie, When I click on the "Back to Landships" menu item it takes me back to the original Landships website; note the URL in the lower left corner of the screenshot. ?
Have just been looking through an old thread on the Studebaker tank?and decided to start a new one to add my comments, as the thread had been dormant for over a year. My observation is that the apparent difference between superstructure of the tank in the old photos and in cheffy's new one is not caused b...
The Imperial War Museum have restored the 'Battle of the Ancre and the advance of the Tanks' film, filmed in late 1916 as a sequel to the more well known 'Battle of the Somme' film by Malins and released in 1917 - here's a restored clip of it which many of you will no doubt have seen before showing a Mk 1 Male a...

I am trying to make a list of all the 1/72 or 1/76 Ford Model T models there are available. So far I have the 3 from RPM, 3 from Matador Models, 2 from Scale Link, and a whopping 10 from Reviresco. I am a bit concerned about those from Reviresco because?I am sure he used to have them listed as 1/64, but now that h...
Since trenches in various scales seem to be the in thing I thought I would share these. The vignette was built by Mike Fleckenstein from the States. Like all his other work it is great. Why can't I do something similar ?????
EWM are proud to announce these new additions to our "Over The Top" range of WW1 products which are the first batch of the Kaisers Stormtroopers. These are new designs by Tom Lobley and myself. This initial batch of designs for which there are 26 new figures plus equipments ?like the ?Sturm...
By "tank battle" I mean the mass use of tanks, not tank-vs-tank. I know this has been discussed before but I can't find the thread: my apologies, James. We hear a lot about 15th September 1916 when?30-odd Mark I tanks crawled into history, and we hear a lot about 20 November 1917 with its 400-...
The vehicle in the link here is called "The English Track White Observation Car" and was apparently built in Britain on a White chassis (see mailer.fsu.edu); what I'm wondering is, is this an example of the wire-rope suspension used on the Medium D and M1922 tanks? It looks as though it fit...
Hello, I'm new to the forum but not to Great War models. I'm a professional architectural modelmaker but do military stuff for fun. My favourite scale is 1.285 which is very small but I love the challenge. When I've got my bearings I'll try and post some photos of my work. I have a trench model and am makin...
Has anyone any experience in reducing card models to smaller scales? I need to go down to 1/250th to match up with the ships. I've tried 6mm and the figures aren't too bad, but the vehicles just don't look right (apart from the fact that 6mm wargames miniatures are frequently not particularly good). I'...
To confirm, there are two new sets from W^D Models, a GS Wagon Mark X with a Driver, and Barbed Wire and Pickets. Both are in 4mm:foot scale. The Barbed Wire and Pickets is a photoetch set. The GS Wagon and Driver is mixed media: white metal and resin. W^D Models are here:? http://www.wdmodels.com/ [img...
Hey, people, I come in peace. To a weapon forum, yes....but...Aaaaanyway...to topic So, I was searching for the current state of the? patent of the Mondrag?n rifle. While the patent dates back to 1907, I don't have the slightest idea how it works currently. Like books, maybe? Manuel Mondrag?n died 9...
Hello, This is my first post on the forum - although Barry of WD Models has kindly posted photos?of my recently completed versions of his excellent kits. I am getting ready to prime and paint Panzershop's 1/35th scale Mark B.? I have read several references that state the tank was painted Khaki Brown....
Hello, Found this car on Google and have a few quetions: What car is it? What is the purpose of the conical caps on the headlights (don't think they can be used to camouflage the light in night) Is it possible that the gun tower has a canvas screen and, if yes, why, if you pull it up you can't see anymore Could...
