Two emoticons for this because there's two of us who are baffled.? This was brought to my attention by munkeezulu, and it's utterly bizarre. Attached is a photo from my files showing Mark IV Male 4056 at Brie Bridge?after being lost to the German advance in?March 1918.? So far so good. Here is a link to a...

Not about the men in the trenches this time, but behind. The picture shows, I think the discrepancy felt by most fighting men, especially the lower ranks, between 'us' and 'the brass'.
This is the Airfix Mk I converted to a Mk II supply tank. It is base coated with Tamiya XF-52 Flat Earth. It is still far from done but it is getting there. I hope you all like it so far.
Hi all, as it's mainly about men in uniform we're writing about, this picture of WRNS, inspected by the King, their commanding officer Dame Katherine Furse and First Sealord Sir Eric Geddes. Kieffer
an interesting aspect of designing I think are the mock-ups. I don't know if any small scale model maker ever brought a mock-up kit on the market, or if there are modellers who worked on it. A bit philosophical, scaling a 1:1 model back to let's say 1:72... Pictures of: a gun carrier MkII with gun, a never...
The kit for the British H/D ambulance is almost ready I am waiting for the etch details.I am now trying to sort out details for the tranfer set,apart from the Red Cross roundels does anyone know of any other markings that can also be included? ie unit markings etc.
Although I'm not a modeller, I'm currently quite engaged in gathering detailed information about WWI weaponry, because I'm involved in coding a WWI mod for a computer game. In doing so, I checked several existing WWI computer games (no reliable sources, I know), read specialist literature dealin...

This is Rodolphe in, judging from the tie, the 1970s, by which time he would have been in his early- to mid-80s. Haven't so far found any pics of him in his Tank-designing days.
Hello,?I was wondering if anyone knew the answers to these stumpers??1. how many tanks did the British D company start with at Flers and what were they left with at the end of the battle??2. Does anyone know who was in D company: officers, tank names, tank numbers and whether they were male or females??...

I have recently added a 7,7cm. l.F.K. 1916 to the collection.This gives me an example of all the German WW1 Field Artillery types fielded to units in service in the WW1 Era minus the 10,5cm. l.F.H. 98/09 and the much more rare 10,5cm l.F.H. Kp. 16.?This 7,7cm lFK 16 is registered in the US with BATF as a li...
Went yesterday ?to Lincoln to look at Flirt II. Though this piece of 'trench art' interesting. -- Edited by RCD on Sunday 5th of September 2010 05:47:32 PM
Has anybody drawings of wheels of Rolls-Roys AC? I have drawings from old Russian magazine, but not sure, that it is correct. And what about aft wheels: were it two wheels in pair (approx 4) or special wheels (approx 5).
