From pictures I've seen, it's not like the gray-green of the World War Two uniforms, but somewhat lighter.? Does anyone know which shade is right, and what paint to use?? Thanks.
This blogger has started a project to model WW1 with all miniatures painted in shades of grey, because "since our collective memory of the Great War is largely dominated by black and white imagery it may be interesting to portray a miniature version using the same greyscale palette. ?I also thi...

Hi all, I'm looking for any books on Motorcycles. I want a book similar to the Blandford Press or I-Spy books, ideally. Something with a big, colour?picture on every page and covering every motor bike, from every nation, up to 1925. Does such a book exist? TIA
Am having an entertaining discussion with a gent in Holland about the above. It has been put to me that the first 20 or so Saint-Chamonds were delivered to the army without armament and were finished as supply tanks - in other words, they were never armed. I think Michel said that some Saint-Chamonds ga...

Inside this album, two photos from prototyp Schneider Ca2 Command Post in Champlieu (photo from March 1917) The two photos, with some commenta...

Hello I'm new to this forum and not quite sure how to start! I'm trying to find out more details about my Grandfathers brother who was a Tank Commander in WW1. His name was James Sawyer and I believe his tank was called Entente. I have a few pages from his war diary but the info is very limited. He survived th...

Despite an extensive search, and looking up the two Osprey volumes on the k.u.k. Army, I am unable to find sufficient details on the use of light machine guns by Austro-Hungarian ground troops in WW1. Around 600 Madsen guns seem to have been received but combat use appears to have been next to nil due to...
Gentlemen, Can anyone please assist with (a) a possible time-frame and (b) confirmation the impotent FT in the foreground is some kind of recovery vehicle. I've never seen another example. Clicking on the image should give you the option to choose "original size". There are some serial...
When I examined the ICM 1917-1918 German Assault Troops set, I noticed that the tunics do not seem to match any reference I've found.? Of the different blouses I've looked at in various places on the Internet, none seem to have the scalloped lower pocket flaps on the tunic skirt?that the kit has.
Found this picture, I don't think it is a gun/mortar. Could it be a dummy weapon or is it a sort of periscope/camera (equal the "fernkamera")? What is the origin country of this thing (Germany?) Tks, DJ
In WW1 the Canadian Machine Gun Corps had two Motor Machine Gun Brigades that used Armoured Autocars made in Anmore Penn. USA.
These 20 cars , actually truck frames with armoured plateing surrounding two Vickers Machine Guns were used to great success .
Has anyone ever made a model or concidered...
