Just been having a browse around and found that B.U.M. have at least 3 offerings of interest to the WW1 modeler: Lanchester: Lancia IZM: Fordson Armoured Car (Rolls Royce Arm...
? Might be stretching the definition of Landships a little to include the 1902s tankettes. The 1/35 cardmodel of the Carden-Loyd Mark VIA tankette is available for download from Zio Prudenzio's website (http://www.zioprudenzio.it/fok-milveh.html) as donationware. Zio's models have been un...
Hi, On a Dutch site found this Pic's of a Renault 50PK "Chapelcar". It is made in Netherlands (1916)?and given to the Belgians to be used by the Royal family, but sometimes it could be used by the front troops too. DJ

Hi folks, I am watching this forum since some years and decided today to become a member.The scan below comes from a German book and displays a half-track lorry with naval gun for anti-tank use as the subtitle claims. I think it could be a Daimler Marienfelde ALZ 13 but I am not so familiar with cars and lo...

Hi I'm looking for information on this Traveling Platform for a scale project, but pictures and info seem to be nonexistent, this picture came from a WikipediA site and since I found it and started looking for more info I've had no luck. It's described as a 12 pounder 12 cwt anti-aircraft gun converted...
Just recently the picture below was sold on ebay and I was the lucky winner. I have never seen before a French de Dion Bouton auto-canon in German service. So, I wonder when and where this piece fell into German hands! Is there anybody out there aware of a similar photograph or any detail which could help...

Hi all In 1995 Leo Cooper published Peter Oldham's book "Pill Boxes on the Western Front". Soon this book was sold out. The well written book contains a lot of interesting informations about British and German Great War Pill Boxes. There are many photographs, drawings, scetches and seve...
This is my fifth Austin (fourth by Modelkrak) and I just can't get enough of them.? I used Black Lion Decals for the markings. In retrospect, I wish I had put the decals on the doors instead of the turrets. They look a little small where they are now.? Figure is by TQD and yes, I know the collar is wrong for WW...
The Mk I tank I am building has square tensioner ends and not rounded. I took 1/8 inch Evergreen tubing, drilled the hole to match the tensioner width and sliced it off. I cut the piece in half and placed it on the tensioner after removing the end by scraping it off with a knife. It is not perfect but it is bet...
I was inspired by Plastikk to do my version on the Mk I after seeing his excellent rendition of the Airfix kit. This is just the basic corrections to the kit and I have yet to start the detailing of it. I added .060 plastic to the sides of the cab and lenghtened the front .030. I removed all the detail and will...
This is very much a wargaming oriented question, so please bear with me. Which troops wore naval uniforms in actual land combat during WW1, and which 1/72-1/76 miniatures could represent them? I am aware of the British Naval Division and the German Flandernmatrosen, but have doubts how much naval g...
