Hi there !?I just get a couple of the latest WWI artillery pieces from H?t, namely the 4.5 inch QF Howitzer and the Austro-Hungarian 7.5cm Gebirgskanone M.15. The kits are simple and look pretty nice. Of course they cry for detailing, but isn't it where the modelling pleasure stays ??My question is qu...
Inspired by the plans by Roger Todd on Landships I'm planning to scratchbuild a model of the Fosters Battletank. Obviously there will be a little bit of "artistic license" involved - especially where the tail wheels are concerned. However there is one thing I've not been able to work out m...
Strelets have posted some more pics of their soon-to-be-released big guns. I'm very pleased to see they did not waste any of their budget on a Graphic Design artist: The other box art can be seen here: http://www.strelets-r.co...
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...

It's not in the Emhar kit, but I noticed pictures of Mark IV tanks which have a wedge-shaped panel with two sloped sides and two stright sides.? The longer straight side sits atop the rear box just behind the small door on top, while the small straight side rests near the top of the rear panel.? What is the...
Hello again to all.

Now that the oil drum has been sorted so to the above. I think it was used by all nations. What colour would it have been painted.On many dioramas they all appear to be a very rusty colour.Since they would have been supplied "new" any ideas on the colour????
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...
?I had a great opertunity to visit with MG David Zabeki today at the Association of the U.S. Army Confernence in Washington, DC.?
