I have some lovely reference material on the beast (8 foot diameter wheels!) and I have references written by Mr Max Hundleby that say a Mr Rigby drew working drawings of this machine in WW1. Does anyone know if they were the drawings that were used to manufacture the tractor or were they later drawings...

Hi all ? At long last, I have finally got my hands on a Roseplane Drachen observation balloon! I've been trying to get one for ages, but the prices on ebay just scared me off. Eventually managed to get one from someone in Canada, and it came today. All I have to do now is build it of course... So if anyone has d...
Finished at last. Not very?content with snow on base; next time I'll airbrush it.? I'll put that bit down to experience. Figure's detail is great at the front, but the back lacks interest and consequently you can't do much with it (a poor workman blames his model). On the whole, reasonably happy...
I'm trying to get some idea of the various anti tank measures taken by all sides. The enclosed is apparently a German anti tank gun of 1918. It seems very much overmanned. Any ideas as to what it is?
Hello All, with virtually no 1:35 scale plastic artillery out there I bought this kit from AFV Club with the?idea of back dating it to a leFH 16 Howitzer, the upper tube(equilabrator?) has to come off and the shield and carriage and wheels?are wrong and the leFH 16 didn't have a split trail, but does any...

I raise this matter because there are some things here I don't understand, and also because in the past it has proved worthwhile to reexamine the accepted wisdom. Please bear with me. We agreed some time ago that the Renault was called the FT, that FT17 or FT-17 was a confused interpretation, and that t...
Hi guys, I an new to this forum and first, let me congratulate you on a quite excellent forum it is. I have not spent a lot of time searching topics yet, but I was wondering if anyone can help me. I am looking for a WW1 tank model which is larger scale than 1.72. I cant find one anywhere, but I have seen one on a mo...
Hello, I am looking for info on the 4 wheel tipper wagons used by the wdlr. Were they a standard hudson type such as the parkside 009 kit or? Regards Sam
Hello, I have a couple of minor problems and perhaps you chaps can help? 1. An older Tank Mark IV model I made, years ago, has just been repatriated and I see that I got the decals/transfers wrong. I've put training numbers on, and I would like to switch them for "fighting" numbers. Question i...

Sparta Modellbau have apparently released a new resin kit of the St Chamond tank: However, it is so new that it hasn't made it onto their own site yet. (image is from http://www.colleu...
Right, have made finally got underway on this scratch build. Bit of a challange for me as only ever done one quite easy conversion and never anything like this, so should be fun! It's a 1:35 MK V** bridgelayer from 1919. Have got the 4 hull sides cut out and the same profile, might not sound much but gettin...
Hi Everyone Well my plans are nearly ready, but I need some help! ? It's to do with the armour plate fitted to Mark1 tanks... I have some publications referring to just 10mm and 6mm being used, and then one source going into more detail... Sides 8mm Underside 6mm Conning Tower front 12mm, Sides 10mm and T...
Have just come across a brief mention of this in Mme Estienne Mondet's book. It's only the second time I've ever seen it mentioned in print. The other is in John Mosier's rather troublesome book The Myth of the Great War. Mosier devotes a great deal of analysis to it, describing it as the battle of which &...
