Hello everyone, ? The book "The Canadian Emma Gees" by C S Grafton describes how at Amiens, August 1918, tanks were used for the first time to carry MG crews forward in the attack.? It proved a failure as only 4 of 34 guns/crews reached their Blue Line objective. ? My father was a machine gunne...

Hi there. I just wanted to add some photos from my collection: Finnish Renaults in the beginning of the twenties. Finland bought 32 FT tanks in 1919. 14 were gun armed and 18 were with machine guns. They were formed as a regiment consisting two battery groups of 16 tanks, each one had three batteries of f...
Couldn't find the previous topic on this new release, but thought it worthy of starting a new one - received the WD Models Austin a/c in the post a few days ago as well as some other bits and had to give a short preview of it before I start building whenever I actually get the chance. The kit can be completed a...
Although it's not disputed that a 38cm mortar was developed during WW1 there seems to be little or no information on the the use of this device. Was it deployed? If so how many were built? Regards, Charlie
Has anyone on Landships built a WWI era armoured train, be it a engine or carriages? If so do you have any images of your project? I have a train project on the back-burner for next year and I could use help with ideas and design. -- Edited by Thylacine on Tuesday 7th of December 2010 03:14:48 AM

I just noticed something amusing.? The ACE model of the 10,5cm lFH 1916 took the photograph of my unrestored 10,5cm lFH 16 for their box illustration (without permission).? Notice that it has the wrong number of spokes (14 not 12) and the hand spike is frozen in the up position.? I wonder if they also in...

Hello everyone, I've come to this forum to seek your help in order to identify a World War I Artillery Gun. My reenactment group is acquiring a WWI Artillery Gun.

Hi All I'm planning on building a scale model of a ww1 tank using a 3mm solid?rivet to scale against an original size one, from the research I've done so far I will be looking at a model approx 2 metres in length!! Thank you in anticipation Dave
Dear all, can anyone help? Since a few days I try to remember where I have seen this: a drawing of a tank (FT 17?) with a marking on the turret. It was a white "V" in a white cirlce. Maybe the ground colour of the circle was a dark blue. Which nation / units used this kind of markings? What time? I hop...

Can anyone identify this gun that was used in the Mexican Civil War, but looks to me as if she predates that conflict by some years. I apologise for the poor workmanship of the photographer, but cerveza is cheap in Mexico! http://www.flickr.com/photos/7700258@N05/937657318 and http://www.flic...
