Stumbled across this. Never heard of it before. Sounds a bit like Sergeant York, except that the hero is an American?boxer who rejects violence outside the ring. He gets called up, and, once in the trenches - guess what? Anyway, the point is that this still shows an FT17 (probably an M1917) so there mus...
Ladies and Gentlemen! Here are couple of photos of my tanks: 1. Whippet "Sphinx" of the General Denikin's Southern army, together with the Mk V n:0 9186. Mk V is completely scratch built. 2. Renault FT of the General Judenitsh's Northwestern army in Tallinn. This is old Matchbox. 3. Mediu...
Hi These were difficult to photograph,so apologies for the poor quality. There are various ammo boxes,wheelbarrow and duckboards. Also various calibre of shells. As these don't require instructions etc they will be out a lot sooner !!!! Hope you like them.
Just collected them. Very nicely engineered. 133 pieces to make 41 figures and machine gun. The mg alone is 5 pieces and the gunner 3, and the result is excellent. Almost all the men have separate arms and optional packs. Which means a great deal of gluing is required. Anyone know if they take ordinary p...
After reading half way through Ospreys latest W.W.I book by Steve Zaloga I can say it is a winner. It covers the Schneider CA, St Chamond and the Renault FT tank. There is a small section on camouflage which is helpful. Tony Bryans color paintings are excellent as well as Mr. Zalogas text. There is quite...
The Artillery Museum at North Head in Sydney is to close at the end of this year. The Austrlaian Army has pulled the pin on the museum after the nominal land owner - the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust imposed unacceptable rent and access conditions on the site. The collection will be moved into storag...
Hello everyone, I was wondering if there would be anyway to scratch build or modify an existing kit into WWI German Motorcycles. If anyone has suggestions or has done anything like this before, please post and tell. Warmes regards, Josh.
I don't know how many know about these journals here, but for me this was a new thing, eventhough I have visited this site several times. All Armored Car journals of David R. Haugh, here in PDF. Some interesting articles: Issue 1 - Minerva Issue 3 - Armored Cars in Baltic States 1918-1940 Issue 4 - White-...
One of the gifts I recieved from my lovely wife was "AFV Plans 1914-1938 Armored Fighting Vehicles" by George Bradford. ISBN 978-0-8117-0568-4 and published by Stackpole Books(www.stackpolebooks.com). The drawings are very well done and are in the popular scales with a scale conver...
Therer has always been some debate as to what colour the gaza tanks were painted. I wish I could say that they were oainted monochrome "desert camouflage", but from the photos, they look like darker shades with a pattern of sorts, yet not like the?Solomon designation. Any ideas to solve th...

Well I finally got some time to do some modeling so I am showing this one picture to see where I am so far. This is the right sponson and as you can see most of the modifications are like the left side. I have cut the gun turret to finish size and I have begun the layout of the openings. After I reviewed the Lands...
In the Airfix Model World magazine issue 01 Lester Plaskitt does an excellent job of weathering a MkI? female tank. The color scheme and weathering are incredibly realistic.
As part of my medical condition brought on by how crap The First World War From Above is, I obtained a copy of this old VHS. It is remarkable viewing. A not very comprehensive account of the War, but useful from a number of aspects. It's not in great demand - it cost 2 euros (plus 9 euros postage) - but some in...

In the Jan 2011 Classic Military Vehicle magazine there is a good article with crisp photos of the John Malamatenios'? 1920 Pattern Roller. In the Classified adverts there is contact details if you wish to buy it. Were all the RR A/Cs?hulls bolted together rather than riveted? Also David Fletcher ha...

I am building a few AH armoured cars and wondering what color they should be? I suspect a grey of some sorts. I am also currious if they may have repainted the captured armoured cars they used. Any info. is helpful, thanks! Chris
