Landships II

When I was a wee nipper, one of the first Big Books I bought was 'Tanks & Weapons of World War I', to me at that age a real eye-opener with articles on the Paris Gun, Big Bertha and, of course, the early tanks. It was packed with wonderful colour illustrations by the great John Batchelor, including thi...

Here's a couple of links to some Getty tank photos, some I've not seen before. http://avaxnews.com/appealing/Tanks_2.html http://avaxnews.com/appealing/Tanks_1.html

This Wed. Jan 25th in the U.S.?the show Greatest Tank Battles?on the Military Channel?is about British and German WW1 tanks. Don't know if it will be any good but I thought?I would share so people could check it out.

Hi there ! Does anyone know how the british soldiers, when on march, and when wearing their soft caps, were carrying their steel helmets ? Thanx to all.

Thought I would share these with you painted by Tom Cole. Any comments ???

A bit of searching has turned up another two WW1 German guns in Brisbane. One, I think, is a 7.7cm C96 a/A captured from the Ottomans in Palestine,. The other is said to be a 105mm Krupp field gun. Can the experts confirm/supply the identification please. Regards, Charlie

Hi, First try to post Pic's of a dio (thank You Hans); sorry for the poor photo quality but I'm still fighting wit that sh.. digital camera. I'm sure the model is historicaly or technically NOT correct and all of You?make much better dio's?but it was fun to me. The story: A German section with captured ta...

? Looking at the articles on Landships II on the FK 96 n.A field gun it seems to me that the multiple articles should be collapsed to a single article and a new article on the derivatives of the FK 96 n.A created. I don't claim expertise on the FK 96 n.A derivatives but thought with help from the forum member...

This might be one for Michel or Fran?ois. There's a small note in P. Malmassari's book, that says: 12 mars (March) 1917: D?part du g?n?ral Mourret. D?part normally means "departure," but I gather it's a polite way of saying "death." Since he disappears from the story rather ab...

Dear All, ? I have questions regarding the Lt. Vietze and Blitz. Hopefully somebody can help. ? Regarding Lt. Vietze: 1. Was the first name of Lt. Vietze Paul? 2. As a civilian, was he a kind of engineer? Maybe a?chemical engineer? 3. It is said, he emigrated to the USA after 1918. Is that for sure or could...

Hello all, I have been requested to write an article on Woosung Forts in Shanghai for a Chinese magazine. While going through the photos I have collected, I found this interesting photo apparently showing some small caliber guns(compare with the soldier). Accroding to some sources in late 1890s(o...

Hi Does anybody know of a supplier of nice 'aftermarket' tracks for the Airfix Mark I?? Or have a set in their bits box they're interested in selling? tia andi

Hello all, and Blessed New Year! I thought I'd fire up the new year of modeling, by showing lasts years finish, A dio I did for my nephew who is now in the U.S Marines. It is a little outside my normal modeling realm, but I think I did a pretty good job.(I did do touch ups before finishing, I only wish I had time...

I haven't found any, though I have the ones on the Mark series from them.? Which I find odd because they were used years after WW1.

Hello I am new to the forum. My name is Adrian and I live in Poland. Recently, interest in the subject of the Great War. My first scene is Whipet (Emhar) and niemicki abandoned trench. I apologize for errors in spelling, but I use the translator. A scene is still in the workshop [IMG]https://i1127.phot...

?In the last few days I have purchased a Russian 107mm M1877 garrison gun dated 1889.? These were used by the Imperial Russian Artillery, captured pieces of this type were used by the German Foot Artillery and Finland used this type until WW2.? I do not know of others in the US or Canada.? It would be nice...

Hi ! Do You know how this trailer was called ? I can`t find any information about it, except some photos showing this trailer used by French army (and than Germans) in WWI and WWII. [IMG]https://i286.photobucket...

Somebody posted this on one of my other forums - probably pre-WW1 though - asking if anybody recognises it. Anybody seen it before? ?

Dear All, ? I just read in a German "Militaerpass" that the owner was trained at the "Grabenkanone". Does anyone know what type of artillery this is? Maybe the "Gruson Fahrpanzer"? ? Regards Chris

This might be the?answer to where the Western Front met the Swiss border. The village of Pfetterhouse was the nearest settlement - population in 1914 1,400 - but the road linking it to Switzerland, with the home-made barricade was actually behind French lines. I shall now explain where I reckon the a...

Just a couple of in-progress shots of my latest project (well, of one project) It's the Commanders Series kit, I'm building it as a late version with the relocated fuel cell's mounted externally at the rear. The kit is reasonably accurate against various plans I have, however it's a little rough in so...

Apparently there is a new WW1?movie coming on Christmas called?I believe War Horse. The preview shows a British Tank couldn't tell if it was Mk I or Mk IV. In the clip?the horse leaps it. Hope they make it authentic.

As reported earlier, I was somewhat taken aback to learn that Joseph Hawker "is generally considered to be the father of the tank." This information features on Wikipedia, of course, and the "citation" is no less than The Chard and Ilminster News. I expect to receive a copy of t...

Hi Guys, New member here. I loved building WW1 tanks and planes as a kid.?I just can't find the time to?build them now. So I seem to just collect them with the hope to build them someday. Anyway I was watching the TV and noticed a?film of German A7V Sturmpanzerwagen is Nr 506 'Mephisto'. Notice the Lion in...

I noticed in pictures of Berlin in December 1918, at the beginning of the civil wars in Germany, there is no snow on the ground and the people seem lightly dressed in trenchcoats and hats, without gloves or scarves.? Was winter so mild then?
