I've been loitering on Landships for the last couple of months and thought I'd try a basic card model of a tank. Purpose of this post is hopefully to motivate someone else like me, to make a model too. There certainly are some stunning models to be seen on here, but the high quality stuff can make attempti...
Here's my take on a captured Mk. IV in German service. I wanted to 'germanize' it as much as possible, so I replaced the bow machine gun with a Tank Gewehr and added a top hatch to the driver's cab. I also replaced the unditching beams and the luggage storage area (?) to the top aft of the tank, as well as addi...
Hello all, I have been asked to write a short article on Woosung Forts in Shanghai, but I have very little knowledge of late 19th century coastal guns. In order not to make too many mistakes I would like to buy one or two books on coastal guns of this period. I need a book that is comprehensive and covers gun...
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...
A number of books which may be of interest... to download google books?click on All Files:HTTP and select the PDF file this book is priceless as it also includes manufacturers patent nos which can found on google patents... Horseless vehicles; automobiles, motor cycles operated by steam, hydro-c...
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...
