I've been trying to put the rear box together (dry fit) on the Emhar 1/35 Mark tank, but cannot for the life of me figure out the proper way it goes together!? Please tell me the right way!
I am grateful to a friend for the following message relating to an artefact that was shown on?the BBC TV programme Antiques Roadshow on Sunday, October 5th: There was a guy whose grandfather designed the tracks for the first operational tank. He had a beautiful silver model, commissioned by Churchi...

Something I've never seen pictured or described. What were the seating arrangements, if any, for the gunners in the Whippet? Seats provided or standing room only?

I wondered who makes 1/35 WW1 figures.? Emhar does, but their quality is reportedly terrible, and ICM does, and their quality is quite good (I have some).? But I was hoping for more selection.? Wild goose chase?
Does anyone know of a set of scale drawings for this machine ? I know that there was a model constructed by someone in France, alas, I don't speak (or write) French - (a fact that I really should have taken into consideration before visitng there a few years back !) I have saved off the in-progress shots of...
Since some months I reworked and enlarged my central Diorama I showed on this site some time ago. It depicts the German Trenchlines on the Westernfront in late 1918, when US and some French Forces try to break through the German lines, but are repelled by the massive counterattack wich beside the A7V a...
I visited Les Invalides last week to take some photos of the 1/5 model of the 42cm Big Bertha Howitzer.? To my shock, some pieces are now missing.? I have attached a photo of the model in 2010 - note the round attached to the crane - and one of it last week (2011).? This is sad, because the model is one of the la...

Hello, Anyone who know something about this "Versuchsabteilung der Verkehrstruppen"? Is it correct that the first picture is a "Landwehrzug"? What are the other vehicles? Tks, DJ
While looking into the career of Captain Ronald Lindsay Johnson R.F.A (who is posthumously the centre of some controversy round these parts) I came across this mildly interesting footnote: "Z.23 Medium Trench Mortar Battery was formed in March 1916 and initially was armed with French 58mm m...

Does anyone know what tanks were used to quell the Bonus Marchers in 1932 in Washington DC, USA? It has been suggested they were '6-ton' (M1917) tanks. I can't find any photos to confirm one way or the other.
Hello, I am new to this forum, although I have been enjoying this site for painting my models and figures for a good while. I am probably more a wargamer than a model builder but I still work very hard to be as accurate as possible. I will have to post a few pictures of some of models, and will do so shortly. I a...
