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...
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 Not sure if it's just me, but Landships2 is running VERY slow! I clicked on the old site and it came up straight away... anyone else having problems???? ? Helen x
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...
? Can be found here: Ypres, 1914, an official account published by order of the German general staff : (1919) This is most interesting to me?as?I believe?its the battle my Great Grandfather and his brother were killed after only 10 days in the line... Cheers
