I guess some hoist and other equipment was needed, must have been heavy. The gentlemen on the picture seem to be Scottish, and Italian. Please com...
French soldiers handling a gun. As I am no expert on the matter, can anyone tell some more? I was wondering if this guns has extra wheels for transport, it looks like regarding the axle stubs. But there are small rollers too. regards, Kieffer
Can anyone tell me more about this picture? The signature says 'C S'. As far as I can determine, it's an oil painting on canvas. An old theme by the way, the painter being painted. This gentleman, a war invalid that's clear, is working on a cartoon like portrait apparantly of the foe. regards, Kieffer
Here are two close-up views of the leather helmet issued to the first British tank crews, which may be useful to modellers; the first image is from Ernest Swinton's "Eyewitness" (1932), and the second is from a good article on British WWI tank uniforms by Paul Hannon "The British Tank Crew's War, 1916...

With all this talk of Armourfast etc has anyone got any opinions/views on the Millicast 1 War stuff. I have the Whippet and it seems OK the fact that its 1/76 and compared to the Emhar one is quite small.
Hi all, I've just been in touch with Bovington Tank Museum with a view to buying one of their plan packs for the MKIV. They advised to 'hang fire' as they have just had a stack of original drawings donated by Vickers and are working hard to get these into a revised pack as soon as possible. I'm not sure if it w...

Very much to my surprise after all these years, I have recently discovered that the design of all 3 types of Minenwerfer changed significantly in 1916 or thereabouts, and that Germany had a couple of large, smooth-bore models and a type that fired finned projectiles. I've had a root round the Net, but...
