Hi everyone, just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Paul, and I live in the coastal town of Whitstable in East Kent, UK. I've been a wargamer for many years, and have always had an interest in the Great War, although it's only the last few years that enough stuff has been available to enable me to game it p...

Hello has anyone converted/backdated WW2 Howitzers to they're Great War counterparts? The Long Tom has always fascinated me, I knew it was from a French design originaly, I didn't know that the American M1 followed so closely the original trails and carriage. I can't find much WW1/Great War models...

The project now has its own website: http://www.laboisselleproject.com/ A friend of mine received this very kind and informative reply from Peter Barton: "We hope to have our first open day in October of this year. When practical archaeological work actually begins, the site will be open fo...
Hello All,? I'm working on a television documentary regarding Great War tank battles and I'm searching for first hand accounts from soldiers (both Allied and German) - from any battle that involved tanks. I've identified a few books that should help with the British/Australian/Canadian perspec...
I confess I seem to have missed the assertions that Pte Tandey of the Green Howards "spared the life of Cpl Hitler" when their respective units clashed on 28 September 1918.? And that Hitler is said to have verified (some of) the details.? Before becoming too attached to the idea, it would b...
Could someone please help out with the measurements of the Skoda 100 mm m14 howitzer and the Skoda 75 mm m15 mountain gun? They are finally available in styrene but I have doubt about the H?T kits being true 1/72. Would love to be proven wrong of course. Total length overall, wheel diameter, gun shield h...
In my little corner of the world, the lastest batch ("E19") of H?T sets has arrived. I am particularly happy about the two Skoda guns, having been lobbying for ages for styrene kits of these important guns which saw extensive service in WW1 and WW2. The Skoda guns come four per set in a small b...
Hi all! I tried scratch building Daimler 1915 of the Panzerkraftwagen MG Zug 1, which used three prototype armoured cars in 1915-1918. Only this one Daimler was ever built. I decided to do this, because I have never seen any model of it. What I had, was six photos of it and one old drawing from the side. I h...

Amateur film showing the "Wehr und Sieg" war material exhibition, 4.7.-3.8. 1941 Hamburg (scroll forward to 5:00 min.). While these are WW2 trophies (and Wehrmacht equipment such as an Bf 109), I think a fair part of the artillery pieces are of WW1 vintage. http://www.spiegel.tv/#/fi...
As an offshoot of the Y-straps/cavalry debate. Book on German Cavalry here Click on Hineinbl?ttern and you can read almost all of it online. It's in German, but I'll have a skim through and see if there's anything on the transition to mounted infantry.
Hey, I had a quick look over the forum and I can't find anyone posting any digital models, so I'm not sure if anyone would like to see these.? ? My Son and I have modelled a WWI Mark V Tank in Maya/Blender. I've done a couple of skins including a captured German one. [IMG]https://i153.photobucket.com/al...
I think this is new. This gent has unearthed some most unusual photos, including a dummy FT allegedly made in Czechoslovakia, something resembling a replica Medium B or C (some sort of promotional exercise, by the look of it; can't read the sign on top of it), a giant FT replica made of soap, and a rather...
That's what the caption says. The dazzle camouflage and the clothing of the civilians make it WWI, and at the time Manchester Docks were capable of taking ships of this size, although 35 miles inland. I find it hard to see why a ship from the US would dock here with men bound for Bovington, but not impossi...
Hello to all, My X Korps is about to become the envy of all who model. All of you who followed the Ok I'm Asking thread are familiar with the results of this venture. I have here a set that was done for me by Massimo Costa of Italy, as a custom one -of-a-kind set, never done before in 1-72 scale. It is also viewa...
