Hi all, ??????? seeking info & photos of WW1 trenching machines etc. Have 1 photo of a German?Vollmer? rotary trench-digger & a French tunnel digger. Also have several of various French barbed-wire crushers (most from this site). Any others out there ?? (google find nothing). thanks, Ray...
Finally had a load of photographs developed from my?1917 camera, and this is one of them - i'll post more up later 1916 Matchless motorcycle and sidecar combination, fitted with a Vickers .303 machine gun, as used b...
Been having a trawl round CriticalPast.com Caterpillar tractors pull railroad flatcars loaded with 42-cm guns. Not railway cars at all; look like captured German guns on their carriages. Clearly in France, but not clear if before Armistice or clearing up afterwards Nice shot of Holt machine in US...
Towards the end of the conflict the Australian Corps are recorded as receiving a number of Garford Box Cars. Does any member have or know of an image of this vehicle? Regards....Rod
In the absence of scaled drawings of many of the vehicles and much of the equipment we would like to see in model form, does anyone know of a suitable 3D drawings system which would enable me to extract information from photographs? Many potential subjects such as transport and armour were photograph...
I'm?looking for suitable?tanks to model, from A?Company of the Heavy Section Machine Gun Corps, or whatever they were called by the time A Company saw action. And there's the big gap in my knowledge! I don't know much about A and B Companies, for example, I don't know when they first saw action, or wher...
Hi everyone If this works (I've never tried to attach photos before!) you should be able to see some photos of our WW1 game at Salute last week. We scratchbuilt the board (which was 11ft by 6ft) ourselves in a little over 6 weeks, which almost resulted in a couple of divorces!?Most of?the figures are?1/...
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...

Just back from a tour with the "lads",found this next to one of the German batteries, it said it was captured from the Russians,any idea of the vintage ????
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...
Hello, Found this pictures somewhere on Google: Pic1: Brewster Body Armour 1917/18 Pic2: (British?) Facial Defense system Pic3: Experimental Machine-gunner helmet 1918 Pic4: Protective Pilot suit 1917: seems to be Belgian (and not Starwars) Pic5: 4Wheeled Mobile shield (=Creeping tank more...
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...
