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...
1) Les annales de la guerre No 64 - it's film with Elfriede. A7V is from 2:39 to 3:20. First part (driving) is better known one (I saw it on f.e. youtube), but second one (posing to well known photo ;) ) starting at 3:13 is rather ommited. Here is site with film http://www.ecpad.fr/les-annales-de-la-gu...
I had come to this site looking for pictures of WW1 tanks that I used to help build some toys from. When I came across the A7V picture below while going through family photos, I thought I'd like to share it here. This is a scan directly out of?a family photo album. The photos are glued on to the paper. Jim was...
I want to buy this book. Is it worth it? I hope that it has some colour drawings, not only black and white photographs. Pehaps someone has some samples? Cheers Kamil
Curiouser and curiouser. It might be me, but the origins of the FT that has been restored at Saumur have never become totally clear. The two from the scrapyard went to Ft. Knox; that's definite, even though Major Delbarre of the French Army can be seen inspecting them with an American colleague. We're...
Looking at buying a Retrokit Schneider CA, but can't decide which of the three versions to buy - can anyone help out with when each version was introduced? The first version is obvious, but when did the 1st armoured upgrade and 2nd armoured upgrade enter service?
Many thanks, Rob
TinCanTadpole noticed something interesting about the Imperial War Museum's Mk V Tank now that the wooden left hand Male sponson has been taken off and photographed; ? It's interesting to see the IWM Mk V without the left sponson; the Landships II article says the sponson is a wooden mockup, the reas...
darkroastedblend.com is a (confusing) source of real and imaginative pictures and cheerfully doubious information - I don't think the "Strangest Tanks in History, First World War" links have been given before (I hesitate to put this under the "References" section): [url...
I haven't seen it here, so... I found very interesting... facebook profile with A7V Mephisto: ? http://www.facebook.com/WaltzingMephisto ? It promises to be very interesting - great interior photos in gallery, nice (but short ;( ) film, even photos of children of A7V conquerors... Piece of good...
Last of the WW1 items at Fort Nelson (i'd managed to bring my camera but leave the memory card behind so only had around 25 photos available on the internal memory card), this 6 inch 26 cwt howitzer barrel, apparently displayed at what must be full recoil ?
