I just saw this movie today and it is really good. The W.W. I scenes are very authentic looking as well as the uniforms. If you have not seen it it is worth watching.
Nice pictures but I noticed there were none of the back of the tank.? Were none taken or did they somehow get lost?? I wanted one so I could build the rear of my Mark III correctly. Unfortunately the museum covered the top of the tank so I couldn't see the baffles.
I know "not the right period" But still a tank for rivet lovers! I finished the master just in time so that Jan Giesbers could have the first castings ready ?before Christmas. Would have like to have crisper detail on the enginedeck, I will pay more attention to this on my next model.? I am lea...
The two attached images last night are of "hundetrains" and are something I'd never seen before.? Does anyone have any details . . . they'd make nice models.? The first is from http://www.heeresgeschichten.at/, a most interesting site; unfortunately, I neglected to write down the sou...

As discussed here A longer clip from Trench Detectives has been posted on Youtube. It certainly demonstrates that the idea could work, but does it establish that it was used? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zxdNlVABH8
Does any member know where I can find a Caquot balloon kit from RosePlane in 1/72 scale? I have been searching for this vacuform kit?since RosePlane went under?and have had no luck.
I find that it takes quite an effort to convince myself which is the front and which is the rear of the Mk D. It looks as if they should be the other way round. Does anyone have any idea why it was the stern that was upswept (rather like the prow of the rhomboids)?
Hi, I am planning to build a small WWI Light Railways diorama. The scale of the diorama will be 1:76 and I will use the figures made by W^D Models.?Here are my first figures ... they are part of "WD15 ? French Infantry - standing" by W^D models. Cheers, Jeroen -- Edited by Poilu on Sunday 11th of...
Hi All, I finally got around to building something for myself... the Emhar Mk.IV. I'm sure everone here knows what a nice little kit it is but spoilt by the incorrect 90 degree backed sponsons. To be honest it's not that hard to fix and seeing as I have three other Mk.IV's waiting their turn it made sense t...
He is worth a google. Closer to Wells than to Jules Verne, apparently. Wrote La Guerre au vingti?me si?cle in 1887, and La Guerre Infernale in 1908.Example of his Landships below: ?
Attached are a series of photos of a conversion / scratch build I have done that should fit well with?1/72 scale?WWI Figures.?The 2.75 Mountain Gun was the mainstay of British, Indian & Dominion Mountain Batteries during WWI seeing limited service on the Western Front but wide service in Salon...
After I saw the good work done on the Mark I tanks. I thought I could do something simular. But because I live in the Netherlands and I am a student I don't have the oppertunities to get an measure or get some good refference books.? But then I came acros the model on this side of the Big Bertha. And it is the on...
Again, I hope experts will forgive shortcomings and I really hope to encourage other lurking newbies like me to give this a try. Very satisfying making a 3 dimensional picture - and also in some way, remember and pay homage to the men who fought in the Great War. This started out as a simple print/card jo...
?In a recent email exchange the 7.7cm Nahrkampf gun at Miles, Qld was mentioned - the question raised was "whether this was the onlyNahrkampf in Australia". Damien Allan responded that he knew of two other guns which were similar to the Miles gun. I'll quote (withDamien's permission) fr...
Hi does anyone out there have a set of drawings?for a trench crossing crib or know what the dimensions are??I was planning on?buying a Matador crib but after comparing?it with?pictures on the net it looks too tall and chunky??Just a height and width would do, I can work the rest out from there.?Thanks...
I'll start this thread with a few pictures of the A7V I recently finished for my WWI army. It is an Irregular Minaitures 15 MM model, and?being a wargame model is pretty simple. It went together easily and I think painted up satisfactorily. I based it on tank #503, as I had the most pictures of it to work fr...
Anyone know if any British Holts fell into German hands on the WF? The pic of a Holt "in the streets of Brussels" I had always assumed to be of an A-H model used to tow the heavy artillery. On closer inspection, the escorting soldier seems to be wearing a German uniform with the exception of his...
I saw these photo on ebay recently, they show equipment of warlord?Zhang Zongchang's White Russian troops in mid-1920s. I'm especially interested in the tank(I used to think Zhang's tanks were all Renault FTs). I don't know the type of it. Can anyone provide some info on what type of tank is this or wh...
