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...
Hello, I just found this forum and subscribed. Perhaps you are interested in my cardmodel design, the Zeppelin p-class airship LZ 45 "L 13". It is in 1/144 scale and features a rigid structure and detailed gondolas with interiour. You can download it here: http://jleslie48.com/zep/ I a...
Images of British Tanks in Palestine seem to be rather scarce so it was a nice find to trip over this one courtesy of the University of Newcastle. Captioned "Tanks in the Palms" it show a couple of Tanks being checked out by a number of Australian Light Horsemen ... most probably from the Aust...
As Holts were regularly used to tow artillery and as I don't see a spot for tractors I decided to post here. This is not a bad image of a 75HP Holt towing a tracked trailer in Palestine courtesy of the University of Newcastle. Now to the question. Note the word on the rear of the canopy and the format of same....
Hello, my name is Alexandru Bucur, and I've recently illustrated a book on the Skoda built siege guns in the collection of the Military Museum of Bucharest. I am a long time follower (if first time poster) of this site and forum and made extensive use of the information contained within during my resea...
Hello ... I'm starting to build on FT17.. For now, only what is in the pictures ... I think it will be a fast model ... ?I think that all the parts of the model will be cast in resin ... Can anyone help with locking flaps? Unfortunately I do not have specific content in this topic ... I want to do some things mov...
Not sure if it's a captured FT with some Germans or some captured Germans with an FT! Since there's a captured Mk? in the background, I'm guessing on the former being the case.
This is the ex-BK Modelcraft, now Matador Models resin and metal kit of the Holt caterpillar tractor, for me one of the most recogniseable vehicles of WW1 and a favourite of mine. Finally getting somewhere with this model - had it a couple of years or so and it's rather fiddly, frustrated me beyond beli...
Thanks very much, everyone, for your work, and for sharing your models as downloads. Right now I am especially grateful for the interwar vehicles, but they are all lovely. I wish I had the talent to make something worth contributing. For now, I will have to be content enjoying your artistry. ? Thanks a...
Hello, this my first presentation of the model here on forum. During the viewing photos here, I find the photos of this tank with this visage, it has interested me so I decide to make it myself. Modular basis is from EMHAR 1:35. I am a beginner for only one year, so the model may has some gaps, but I tried har...
Just a couple of questions I have about the above set before ordering it?. As A003 seems the one that many appear to be trying I thought I would go for A001 first. 1. The box art clearly shows WW1 but the figures shown on the Strelet Arms A001 area shows figures with Gaiters and Brodies/ netted? battlebowl...
