Hi all, For those of you who are interested, I am building a model (1:76) of a French Kerr Staurt 'Joffre'. I have als been trying to find more information about the colour schemes that the French used for their locomotives. Even found a great recipe?for 'vert arm?e', which was also used on the French ta...
A matter that's been at the back of my mind for a while is the lack of unditching rails on Mks V** and VIII. Obviously they arrived too late for combat, thus didn't need them fitted, but I'm wondering if the change in the nature of battle in 1918, with increasingly open battlefields and the ground not bein...
Just received Destination Western Front: London's Omnibuses Go To War, by Roy Larkin.Excellent. Lots of info. Some new pics. Clears up several confused areas.Covers D-Type (which were just B-Types under another name, and nothing to do with Daimler of Germany), B-Type, Y-Type, and several other...
Hi all,? I am currently doing some figure conversions from some revell WW2 German?engineers. I am converting them into WWI German pioneers, and would like some info on the Fatigue uniform worn when doing trench construction filling sandbags etc. any thoughts? ? Greetings, Josh
Recently I've been stocking up on various?Masterclub guns and painting them up according to references I've found on Wikipedia.? (They're very nicely molded but unfortunately extremely fragile and irreparable if damaged.)? They make quite a variety, and mix up various types in each package.? O...
This real photo postcard has been in my collection for years and I would appreciate your views concerning the tank and its location, tanslation of the German message, and identification of the unit the sender belonged to.? The postmark is dated Sept. 14, 1917
In 1969-70 I was in an armored cavalry regiment, and when our equipment was badly damaged or destroyed it was termed "a combat loss".? Presumably a 1917-8 report of survey similarly accounted for this?tracked vehicle.? An identification of the remains and any details of its unit and dem...
Looking for something else a Google search turned up a first hand account of his units escape to Vladivostock via the Trans Siberian railway (courtesy of the Czech Legion) by a member of a Belgian armoured car squadron. It appears they had to destroy their cars first but doesn't say what they were nor w...

Has anyone else who visited blueprintbox.com (thread in the references section) had trouble with their cookies? I normally have my cookie policy set to 'reject all', but have to alter this to access certain things, such as signing in to this forum; afterwards I tend to clear out all cookies, but even...
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...

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...

Here are a couple of ohotos of the build.
