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 &...

Hi everybody, Going through some old things today I came across this fellow: He looks to be French, although the helmet's a bit strange. Does anyone know where he's from?

The German 10cm. Kanone 1914 at the U.S. Artillery Museum located at Fort Sill, OK (not to be confused with the Fort Sill Museum) has been recently repainted a wartime period multi-color camouflage scheme.? It is a bit bright but this is a nice improvement on the incorrect pre-war grey/green this gun...
Yes, I saw the article on the site, though it is for the 1/72 Emhar tank model.? I want to do it in 1/35 as it seems comparatively simple.? But the question is, what else would have to be done on the bigger scale tank, which is of course a different kit?? Thanks. BTW, my intention is to depict a British town wa...

I can't recall ever seeing a Tank mark I with an MG in the forward mounting. I think it would have been a Hotchkiss, regardless of?whether or not the tank was male or female; am I mistaken?

Hi! This is one of the first scratchbuilt models I have made, couple years ago. I think it's quite easy project to start scratchbuilding.

Four recent additions to the collection; all seem to have been removed from an album belonging to a German NCO. Frustratingly, no further details were provided with the photos. I found the photo of the minenwerfer being used in a direct fire role particularly interesting. [url=http://www.flickr...
