Have been trying to place this Mk V. The A7V is obviously a replica. But the camo on the Mk V is annoyingly familiar. It's not the much-discussed blue/green/whatever. It looks much later than WWI - I could swear I've seen it before, somewhere. The stripey effect rings a bell. The tank looks in very good n...
I'm out in Gallipoli for the week and yesterday found these 4 huge French guns lying in Fields - 3 of 4 have been spiked, can anyone ID them? One I went up to was dated 1885
I noticed that certain soldier's uniforms, such as WW1 German chaplains, have hats that look akin to American cowboy hats.? On a tour of Colorado decades ago, the guide told us that American cowboy hats were shaped for the purposes of horse riding.? Not only sun protection, but branch protection if y...

Can anybody help with drawings of all or at least some of the locomotives and rolling stock of WW1. If you can help please let me know. As i have...
Here is a link to a useful site, the photo I've attached shows a CWS built FT with pressed plate track. Centurian has previously posted this photo ? Edit 05/05/12 - thanks?Rectalgia http://derela.republika.pl/en/ft17.htm -- Edited by LincolnTanker on Saturday 5th of May 2012 09:47:10 AM
A Chinese police armored?car in Tianjin(Tientsin), shown by an old Chinese magazine "Sheng Huo Xing Qi Kan"(Life Weekly). I don't know why but I think this armored car looks like a WWI European armored car and doesn't have the common shape of Chinese armored cars in 1920s and 1930s. Any id...
Hi all.?? I finished my Male model tank and needed another project, so now I am proceding with a Whippet. I am attempting to build at 1/16th scale and keep as posible to the drawings but I don't think this will happen as I am building on an old 1/16 model chassis.? Here are a couple of ohotos of the build.
On the missinglynx.com WW I section it has some pictures of armored cars at Vladivostok 1918-19. One of them No.3 is an Armstrong Whitworth in pic 4,6,8 &12. The others i can't ID two are numbered 1 and 2 so I guess they are part of the same unit. On the great war forums eastern front section they have r...

Had forgotten about this. From Twentieth Century Battlefields TV series. Just been shown on some freeview channel.Snow p?re et fils explain Amiens with a bit of CGI, a lot of tramping about in fields, and talking to the camera while driving. First of several parts here:http://www.youtube.com/wa...
? Found the attached on the old Tanks! website. A US Mark IV SPG - looks like a St Chamond SPG with the US 240mm howitzer fitted. According to the text the gun vehicle had its own motor/generator that could move it around at low speed on good ground. Apparently tested at Aberdeen in 1920/21. Anyone know an...
Rather than turn this old thread into a zombie thread, I thought I'd start something new. Does anybody have a plan for the Medium Mark C male? It might be protected by copyright, so a PM would be great. It's for research purposes. TIA
I'm pleased to announce a couple of new releases from Tommy's War, my company that produces high quality 54mm World War One figures. Moving to the Navy, these two show Naval personnel of the ill-fated Antwerp campaign: TW54009 - Petty Officer, Royal Naval Air Service TW54010 - Rating, Royal Naval Di...
Apologies if this site is already well-known to forum members. Loading time is long but there is a good selection of Renault tanks in Kabul today, including one showing the upper surfaces well, and a selection of A7V versions, including the very rare ones. http://www.4600n200e.com/4436/index.h...
Greetings, Can anyone identify to what unit no. 9695 was assigned. This photo of 9695 and a partner Mk V male was taken in France. Thank you, John A-G Jackson, Missouri USA
There is a fair bit of information around on the FAMH (St Chamond) SPGs but I'm struggling to find anything much on the Schneider SPG. It seems that Schneider was of the view that an SPG should be self-powered unlike the St Chamond design. The gun fitted took the idea of fitting the largest gun possible t...
This picture isn't new, but I've never noticed the type of grenade before. IIRC we established that the uniform is the top-of-the-range one designed for the Belgian Armoured Car Division in Russia. I'd assumed the grenades were German Stielhandgranate, but on closer inspection they are very diff...
Boom, Boom Boom. Shell3 - coming soon. A view from the EWM work bench.
3 artillery barrage markers and shell holes all painted. The explosion markers are separate so designed to be removed at a certain point to leave a shell crater behind. A new approach to representing artillery shelling in miniat...
