Hello, does anybody knows dimensions of the German 150 mm sFH 13 howitzer (gun carriage) Ps does Herbert Jager "German artillery of world war one" have some drawings of this howitzer? Cheers KAmil
I have never had the patience (or skill) to build highly detailed and accurate models. I have to admit that I always was, and still am, pretty much an "Out of the Box" builder when it comes to models. A few years ago, I began building wooden toys for family and friends. My best friend is in the Ar...
Inspired by the two recent contributions of Bulldogs I thought I'd show you mine as well. Extensively detailed with the photo etch set from PART, which included everything from hooks, handles and most of the headligts to engine grilles and the "bumper log". I also replaced the plastic ca...

Finally, nearly finished - have done some more tweaking since the photo was taken of the white/red/white area and happy with it now, just need to re-attach the rear wheels on both sides and do some light weathering to show it after/during driving around the dusty roads behind the German lines at the Ba...
Hope these are okay to post - acquired these, a few for myself, and decided to sell the others, also happy to swap for models etc. They are cut out from period magazines/newspapers and have a cardboard mount, very nicely done, and look good as they are or with a frame too. Looking for ?5 per print, postage...
Hello, Touring around in Ypres salient I found this gun: Some references say it is a Krupp 95mm, other it is a Krupp 12cm SK79. It should have been used by German army and later be captured by Allies, other say it was ordered by Belgian army before the war and used by them at the "IJzer"battle. W...
I have the 31/5 issue of Tankette with Arie Dijkhuis' great drawings, plus a few pics online. Looking for more detail pics, especially the gun.
Thank you. Lee
At the risk of creating another conflagration I?m opening up this subject again in the hope that we can all approach this subject with some detachment. I?ve used the published figures and photographs to first compare the Strv M21 and the LK II to try to objectively determine if they are indeed the same...

Anyone know some specifics (and where images might be) concerning the ammo carried in Mark IV (males)? eg 6pdr armor-piercing, HE, and canister/case. ? This info seems to be fairly elusive, even in some?of the better books on the subject. ? Thanks for any help, Dave??
Believe this was covered recently but I can't find the topic - does anyone know why some Emhar kits, especially the A7V, are Becoming hard to find? I've only been looking for the A7V but in general they don't seem as widely available as a few years ago
Acc? to PSR, Strelets announce release of A003 - World War I 8 Inch Mk II Howitzer. Their Honved Cavalry have been "coming soon" for something like 7 years, and still no sign of them nor explanation.I emailed Caesar Miniatures a few weeks ago, asking what happened to their French Infantry....
Out of the blue, Strelets have entered the arms race, promising: # A001 - World War I Mk II Howitzer with British Crew # A002 - World War I Mk VII Howitzer with American Crew # A003 - World War I Mk VII Cannon with British Crew Crew and master here Not sure they've got the nomenclature right. This looks to me m...
I?started a Mk VIII "International" or "Libery".? two sets of views of the 3D model are?attached.? The lower views on sheet 2 are "wireline" views, like an x-ray, to show some otherwise hidden parts.? I need some feedback, particularly on the layout of the sponson...
A sign of the times - The West Australian books editor? William Yeoman reviews a vegan/vegetarian/raw/dairy-free and gluten-free cookery book (if that's not too restrictive a term) while Helen Crompton reviews Australian War Memorial Treasures from a Century of Collecting.? Well, Crompton wa...
Anyone going to Tankfest at Bovington next weekend? I'm there as 1917 Tank Corps crew with the 'War Horse' Mk IV Male Tank, there's also a French Berliet lorry and a 1916 Matchless motorcycle and sidecar with Vickers MG going, and a large number of British Infantry in my living history group (the Match...
Bit of an unusual request this - does anyone have photos of captured German guns on public display in WW1? For example, a German 10.5cm howitzer captured and put on display in the UK to raise war funds, perhaps as part of a larger exhibition? Just bought the Ace 10.5cm LeFH16 Howitzer and thought i'd giv...
Here is a question about German artillery camouflage patterns.? Attached is a photograph of the builder's model of the 42cm Big Bertha at Les Invalides, Paris.? Are the pattern and colors fantasy?? Or do they reflect a real camouflage pattern used by the foot artillery during the war? Regards, Marc...
