This gun at Beechworth in Victoria, Australia was pointed out in another forum. It looks like a fairly standard foot artillery pattern Krupp M03 - except the barrel seems to be bronze. I've never seen a Krupp M03 in bronze. Can the gurus confirm the cipher is that of King Carol I. Anyone has any suggesti...
I found this photo on the back of an old Profile booklet in an advertisement for a Chamberlain and Ellis book called "Making Tracks."? Any ideas what kind of armored car it is?? From WWI or after?? Thanks for any opinions. Jeff
We're familiar with the "Ottoman" steel helmet, even if we're not sure how many reached the Turks or how they got into the hands of the Freikorps. Trouble is, there are some photos knocking about that show Turkish troops wearing a Stahlhelm that is certainly not the Ottoman but doesn't app...

It gives also a description of the different diseases, medicaments?and the medical help to avoid them. There are a few nice photo's, maybe intresting for those who want to make a di...
An advert in "Horseless vehicles" (1900) mentions Penningtons armoured car and which got me curious and after several false starts a search of the EPO turned up this: GB?189622610 ?(A) Improvements in or relating to Machine Guns, their Carriages, and Appurtenances. Which includes sa...

Also for this model I first made a drawing in Rhino 3D and then had the parts printed in 3D. For some it comes as a shock that a modelling is no l...
Welcome to this Forum! It has been started on the direct suggestion of two friends of this site, people that both have been unable to register to the Missing Lynx WW1 Forum, not because they have misbehaved, but simply because it's so complicated to do so. The same thing has happened to me: I've applied...

Hello, In a book concerning the raid on Zeebrugge (22/23 Apr 1918) I read that the attack on the mole was done by the 4th Bn Royal Marines, a sort of "Navy Seals" specialized in Amphibian Operations. They?had the normal Khaki Uniforms and the British helmet.?But there were also 200 Royal Na...
Some one took the little Holt one man seriously. See attachment. In reality i suspect it would have fallen into the first trench or big shell hole encountered and stayed there.
These tanks seem to have disappeared. Or at least that is the impression I had. However if you combine these two statements: "Museum Director Dr. Joseph T. Rainer... noted that only restored pieces are being moved. ...Artifacts that have not been restored will not be transported and the museu...
Does anybody have an idea about the real-life rough dimensions (length, width, height) of this Foden Steam Wagon: I'm trying to get an idea of the scale of the toy I have just bought! It looks a bit bi...
My latest copy of Australian Shooter magazine contains an interesting article on the resurrection of an old alloy in a new application, for chamber casting - a bismuth alloy "originally developed for casting toy soldiers". It is marketed as Cerrosafe Alloy and is available fro...

I recently decided to dig out an RPM 1/72 Model T Ford Ambulance I'd started years ago but never got very far with due to the huge sink marks in the sides. At the time I debated scratching new sides or filling them and in the end it just went back in the loft!All in all it's not a bad little kit, the detail is a bi...
Maybe we should have a special section for items such as this. I'm not sure what would be the best title for it. From ezinearticles.com: "In 1917 during World War I, Patton became the commander of the United States Tank Corps. He and his men, along with the allied British tankers, won the very firs...
Hello, Could someone tell me what tank this is (or give the link if it is somewhere on LS II)? Looks more like a bad Science Fiction movie item. On the body of the tank is written "Track layer CLB 75 or 78 Tks, DJ ?
