To go with my WW1 60cm French Artillery light railway layout a kit bashed Canon de 75 mm antiaérien mle 1917. The kit a 75mm Anti-Aircraft gun model 17/34 from EWM was modified by replacing the gun with the shorter version used during WW1 and adding the shields. A representation of the dials and sight...
To go on my WW1 French Artillery 60cm light railway layout a scratch built Canon de 240 TR Mle 1903. This was a coastal defence gun that was reworked to a railway gun. The gun could be transported either on standard gauge rails or transferred to the narrow gauge rails. The gun carriage was mounted on a sp...
Would anyone have a photo or reference that showed the capture of a Mk.V tank by the German forces during the 1918 war on the Western Front? I have yet to find evidence of that. Thanks and cheers, Gary
Thanks to the help I received on this forum, I've been able to complete my model of Takom's Mk.1 female. The figures are modified from a set of MasterBox British Infantry Somme 1916. Cheers, Gary [img]...
Any one know the nut and bolt size that bolts the armour plate together on the FT tank. It seems everything is bolted not riveted with the nuts inside the vehicle and the bolts coned to accept a spanner for assembly outside.
I hadn't realised that with the shift to left wing politics Wikipedia had also given up any pretence at rigour. The article entitled "15cm Ring Kanone L/30" is mostly about the 15cm Marinerohr M83 L/30 on a Krupp carriage. This was one of the Naval gun types adapted for land use during WW1. Franz Kosar...
A bit off-topic, but I hope I might be given some leeway. Back to Berlin 1945 and the captured Russian/Soviet artillery surrounding the two Mark V tanks in the Lustgarten. I'm pretty sure I've got the 152mm howizer, the 45mm anti-tank, and the 21cm Morser, but the rest need an expert eye. I've numbered...
Good evening gents, I am seeking info on A7V no 564 for modelling purposes. Does anyone have ,or, know of any pictures of 564 between Sept and Nov 1918. Having looking at older posts in this forum I see that it most likely had the red-brown, sand, light green over feldgrau as one member stated dur...
I'm doing a tidy up of the FK 96 articles on Landships II. It strikes me that what is needed is an article on the derivatives of the 7.7cm FK 96 n.A. As far as I know the following were derived from the FK 96 n.A 7.7cm Nahrkampfkanone - modified gun shield and smaller diameter wheels 7.7cm KiH - Kanone im Hau...
Hello all, this is the Takom kit of the Skoda 30.5 cm M16 mortar. The kit is not very faithful to the original (to put it politely), so I had to do many corrections. I just wanted to add some crew, but WW1 artillery crews are as rare as hen's teeth, so I had to find a viable alternative. I found out that Trumpet...
Greetings! Here is my Mark.IV female from Takom in progress. Nice kit, but I ususally work hard with every detail. So, I have added some new details and some details were replaced. I have used plastic, copper,brass and wire for chains. App. 60% completed. I hope my modest work will be usefull and inter...
It has long been accepted that 109 or so FTs were taken to the USA after the war. In the past, I've long been suspicious of that claim, on the grounds that production of the M1917, with its improvements over the FT, was beginning to take off, so there was no need for used and inferior FTs. Steve Zaloga told m...
I finished the earlier builds with the sentence: "Now I am waiting for more kits that has been on their way from England over a month." Delivery took only tree and a half month from England to Sweden. For some reason they had been returned it instead of delivered. But in the end I got my kits.Back to th...
I stumbled across some videos that show the Canadian War Museum restoring their Autocar to running order and then putting it in a parade. Posted on Landships FB yesterday. [vide...
PDA asked what people got for Christmas. Well, this was for my birthday, last June, but it arrived, after a much Covid-interrupted journey from Australia, this week. Yes, that's right, this week. Many thanks to the Queensland Museum for overcoming numerous difficulties, and to the memsahib for he...
The Model Cellar would like to announce our new WWI Italian Officers.Sculpted by Mike Good, the detail is clean, crisp, and sharp as usual. These figures are the perfect accessories for the new WWI Lancia Ansaldo Italian Armored car IZM from Copper State models. They will also work well with the WWI I...

This is something that has been mentioned here in reviews and builds but I thought that I would make a separate post about it:There is a fault in the instructions. Part #11 is shown wrong. It should me mounted from the front not from the inside.This was wrong from the beginning and has not been correct...
A German officer described the British tank as a “a gigantic, iron dragon” so I thought that was a good name for the title. Takom’ Mark IV Female ‘Flirt II’ is being stalked by two stormtroopers with grenades being tossed on the roof. I’ve been reading ‘Deborah and the war of the tanks 1917’ by John Taylo...
nnHallo, ich habe eine Frage zu diesem Foto des Transportwagens des 42 cm Skoda Mörtels für den Verkehr Eisenbahn. Das ist er nur Foto, ich habe je gesehen. Sie noch jemanden, der wagen noch kennt ?
Came across a bit more about this: From Motor Boating magazine, July 1912: "Norman Leeds, treasurer and general manager of the Automatic Machine Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut, is making an extended trip through Europe in the interests of Automatic marine engines. Mr. Leeds will visit the co...
Hi everyone Just getting back to working on plans of a MK1 Male Tank and thought it was time I should introduce myself and let you know what I am up too. About 4 years ago now I decided I would build a 1/16 scale MK1 tank and looked around for plans ... what I found were ok but at the scale I was thinking a bit basi...
