A previous topic - "The LKIII?" - from January 2007 made a request for any other views of the LKIII (other than the usual cutaway one of its proposed power train) and featured an excellent side view by Tim Rigsby. Since then I have tried to hunt out any more plans/ illustrations, but without s...
? I've had a request for drawings of the wheels/hubs for a 15cm M1893 Howitzer. The gun in question is located in a tiny town in Northern Victoria called Nyah (attached). It's one of two 15cm M1893s in Australia - the local RSL in Swan Hill (nearest large town) is interested in restoring this gun and a pai...

I'm doing a large scratch built RR armored car, the only thing that remains a mystery is the linkage from the cab to the latches on the armored doors in front of the radiator. If anyone has a photo or sketch it would be most helpful. ? Thanks. ? Jim

Am having masters made for a set of ca...
Bonjour, In G.B.M. (Guerre, Blind?s et Mat?riels) n? 98 - Octobre-D?cembre 2011,?a very good topic, by Guy Fran?ois, about the French heavy tank FCM 1A, with some very good photos and plans of this tank. Bonne lecture - Michel -- Edited by Tanker on Wednesday 12th of October 2011 09:28:42 AM
I think this is an 1899 pattern 10cm piece. The breech is dated 1902 and indicates it was made at Spandau. -- Edited by jagjetta on Tuesday 18th of October 2011 04:23:37 PM

Now here's a real curiosity... I'm fascinated by movie visual effects, especially those involving miniatures, and as well as trying to find out all about how they're done, I'm also interested in the history of such effects. Consequently, I'm always on the lookout for films on video, DVD or the inter...
Somewhere there's a topic with aerosled/aerosleighs in it but I can't find it offhand.? Besides, this one is armoured.? Therefore effectively useless.? Ah, but the lines[url=http://www.polarpost.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&...

It seems we might have to rethink the matter of caterpillar tracks. From Popular Science, December 1918: "Their invention predates that of the land caterpillar by many years. The first water caterpillar on record was invented by Desblancs in 1782 and was propelled by a steam engine. In the Uni...

Yes I have a Roden 1920 pattern Rolls Royce British AC too, with no definite project for it yet.? I was thinking of making it one of the cars sent to Ireland, but used in combat during the Irish Civil War before it gets turned over to Irish custody.? I have no idea what it would look like though.
Goodevening, I bought the Roden "Rolls Royce Pattern 1920" Scale 1/35 (scale 1/72 or 1/76 are becoming to small for my eyes)?and I'd like to build it as the AAR2 "Sliabh na mBan" . A few questions: Is the grey color on the photo of the surviving/restaured vehicle in Ireland corre...
