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...

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...
Hello, Found this photo somewhere, they say it is an Italian car from 1917 and is called SPA 9000C. Could it be that "SPA" stands for "Self Propelled Artillery" and not for the name of the truck? What is the correct name of the truck and what gun is it? Tks, DJ
I popped down the newsagent earlier this week to find the November "Classic Military Vehicle" only to find I was too late and December's is in stock.? I understand there was an article by David Fletcher on the Mark II in November's edition.? Did anyone see it? If so, does it contain anything...
Does anyone know of a good quality photo of Lt Frank Mitchell (21st Div- later Tank Corps)? Maybe a bit of his bio, too. What's on-line is pretty sparse. ? Thanks, Dave
In the US patents files I found a patent applied for in 1917 by Pliny E Holt. Its actualy titled as an armoured tractor but is in fact a tank or assault gun. I enclose an impression of what it might have looked like if built. The patent drawings although sectional have many missing details such as where the...

I have become embroiled in a prolonged debate on Wikipedia on the question of Patton and Cambrai. It seems to me that no U.S. forces or Tanks could possibly have taken part in the battle and that Patton's presence in any capacity is so doubtful as to be not worth mentioning. Unfortunately, I have encoun...
Does anyone have any photos and information on WW1 Imperial Russian Chemical units, devices, masks, weapons, uniforms? I've looked around for a while and found nothing other than bloshevik use of gas during the Tambov Rebellion to liquidate "dissidents" in 1920.?
There weren't any.Can't find it now, but a while ago I raised the question of where the Holts used by A-H on the Western Front came from, since there didn't seem to be any reference to the KuK actually buying any. A possible answer was that they came from the fabled Holt factory in Budapest, the existence...
Questions and info about uniforms are all over the forum, mostly in the "individual weapons and tactics" and "miscellaneous" sections. A dedicated uniforms section could help finding information quicker. Just a suggestion.

Funny how all those modelling projects take soooo much longer when the sun's out... not that we saw too much of it this summer! Finally a couple of long term (that shouldn't have taken that long!) ? master projects have come to an end and I can get on with building some of my stash.? ? ? I've attached a bunch...
Most people here are probably familiar with the French Char FCM 2C, and I should imagine most also know about the one vehicle (Champagne) which was fitted with a 155mm howitzer for some years (though refitted with the original pattern 75mm gun in, I think, 1939), and which was designated Char FCM 2C Bi...
