Welcome to this Forum!

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 ?
Came across this photo. Caption reads "Leutnant H?nsel mit seiner weiblicher Besatzung". Does this mean there was an all-female A7V crew? Is it a wartime photo or a reunion of some kind?
Hello, On the subject of steam lorries, I just stumbled across scans of the 1919 Sentinel steam lorry.? You can view them here: http://www.darwincountry.net/explore/021725.html MarkV
A short while back there was a query about the actual scale of the Airfix Mark2.5ish, I had some time to kill today so I thought I'd?prepare simple?MarkIV drawings?to common modelling scales that can be used as reference to check scale. If you print them make sure?they are?printed full-size by check...
I was at a show in Belgium last sunday and took the liberty of taking these pics of WW1 vehicles. I dont know who built them, but of course if the owner objects to them being shown?here just pm me and I'll remove the pics. I particularly liked the bus, very nice and a bit different. All these are 1:35 scale. T...
