Hi, ? Im currently studying for a military history degree and i need to appeal to your expansive knowledge. I have decided to explore the role and contributions of the tanks sent to the Middle East between 1916 and 1918 for my dissertation. I understand that there may not be the same level of literature...
Greetings,Recent acquisition of a St.Chamond that I thought modelers might find useful. The rear view shows shovels stored on rear over a large, hollow six-pointed star painted on the back of the vehicle. JAG
Can anyone supply details or point me at a source of stats on this gun please? I mean info on measurements, weights etc. Many thanks for any help. Even a book I can refer to would be fine. The request comes as a follow -up to the post I made about the British use of what appears to have been this gun in China in 1...
I know this is OT ie preWWI but you people have come up with the goods before!I have searched the archives for a mention, but whilst there is a passing reference in one thread, no details were provided.A book on the Hong Kong Royal Artillery (Denis Rollo. The Guns & Gunners of Hong Kong. HK, 1991) say...
I cannot find many good sources about the battle of Cambrai on the internet or in the library, so I was hoping I could ask your community some questions. If you have found a good source I would be very greatful. 1. Was the town of Flesqui?res fortified ? 2. Was it bombarded by artillery? 3. Did the 51st High...
I've started messing around with this kit.? I've had it for a few years but I got the bug and had to play with it. The surface detail is really nice, and pretty refreshing after building the Emhar Mk.IV! But there are some disappointing parts about it, mostly the representation of the bottom and inside f...
Everyone's favourite Internet reference site has agreed to call the article on the Renault FT the "Renault FT". So far, anyway. If you would like to examine their reasoning, which is always entertaining, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Renault_FT Many thanks to Fran?...
Hope to be going to Bovinton end of next week as?I want to get pics of the V**. If theres anything there that somebody would like shots of let me know and i'll try to get them for you. Ian.
Well I painted a white circle and used a Sharpie marker to draw the heart on it. I painted the muffler Tamiya Red Brown then added MIG Pigments European Dust to it to experiment on a rusty effect. Next up will be a wash on the details and mud applied to the tracks.
Hi guys, I've been looking at this site for years but I'm just now joining this forum. Here are some pictures of my Mk IV? I managed a 1st place at the 2009 IPMS USA Nationals.? Pretty good since I'm mostly an aircraft guy and it was the first piece of armour I have completed since 1985. -- Edited by BLOWHARD...
Need a little help please, I have searched to find out info on how to calculate the scale size. Nothing came up. So I will pose my question? -- how does one?calculate scale from an actual item? I know there must be an exact process. Thx in advance. Marty edit in? -- now the word formula enters my mind. Is the...
Concrning the above,there are details plans available as well as PDA's vid. I am looking for details of the gun in transport mode. The only pic I can find is in the Osprey Heavy Artillery book. Has anyone any idea where I could get hold of decent plans/scale drawings?
Companeros, Im fairly new, in terms of posts, to the board and WWI armor. A few years ago I began a project to build?a R/C 1/6 scale MARK IV. Before taking on this challenge, i decided to build?a cardboard mock-up. While not perfect, it served as a great picture?prop.?Years have passsed and im now ready...
Dear all, I just received another postcard for my collection. As it is a very curious picture of a tank, I would like to share it with you. It is a tank made out of soap. An eye catcher on a booth of a company named Berolina. Hope you like it. Cheers Chris
You may remember an earlier thread about the 15cm Belgian howitzer. Latest news on the Pozieres gun at Enoggera is that it will be moved early in 2011 complete with the concrete slab it's partly embedded in. Meanwhile the 9th Btn Assoc. is examining options to release the gun from the slab and conserve...
Have managed to make up a Lanchester. There will be some changes as I am not 100% happy. But at laest it will be out this year. Any comments (apart from the bad photographs !!)
Hello I'm currently building Emhar's Mk IV male tank. I try to scratch build the unditching rails. I have got good reference material concerning the front and the aft attachment points. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find informations (photographs, drawings) how the roof mountings were attached...

In the last week, several artillery pieces and anti-tank guns from my collection were recorded by Skywalker Sound firing live and blank.These sounds will be used for a new Spielberg film.I have been asked not to mention the name of the film until it comes out, however, I can say it is set in the WW1 Era an...
Hello, I just stumbled across this photo on the web and thought I'd share it.? The tank is a little outside of the normal period on which we focus, but I thought the image would appeal to many of us.? - Enjoy! What does one do after a hard day of Blitzing across Europe in your tank? ? Why, build model tanks, of...
I am trying to find any reference to Kaiser Wilhelm's staffwagen. He supposedly visited the front lines in a number of converted vehicles including a Mercedes truck purpose built with steps, a stove, an awning, a bed. Has anyone heard of this vehicle or seen a photo? or drawing of it? Terry
Just thought I would pass this on. I am ordering sets of German figures. They will be of late War style. As usual they will be "relaxes"poses ie no action figures like all of my figure sets. I was thinking along the lines of gunners, tankers,infantry walking in full kit and a set of just "...
