?Things are still?happening at the Museum. "The 36 tanks that currently occupy the Tank Story Hall will be the basis of the online collection, with each vehicle having a computer generated model acting as a link to a wealth of information." That includes most of our favourite tanks! Read...
This is mr. Rene Magritte, the famous Belgian painter. Post ww1, probably 1921. He served in the 8e Linie but was not much a soldier-like type. He was lucky, his commanding officers allowed him to paint and even commisioned him to paint their portraits. He avoided duty often pretending he had to see hi...
The subject of the Fried. Krupp 10,5cm. l.F.H. Kp. 1916 has come up from time to time on this forum.This piece was produced in very limited numbers and few examples exist today.One example was at the Fort Jackson Museum in storage where very few people got a chance to see it.About ten years ago this piec...
Have just been having a ponder over Estienne's original idea and his amendments to Lt. Thibier's drawing of the Holt track assembly (Fig. 1). Don't know anything about Thibier, but he seems to have been a draughtsman, whereas E clearly wasn't. This might be very old news, but it suddenly struck me tha...
Hello all. After years of procrastiantion, I've fnally decided to attempt to collect and collate as many of the names and numbers of the Mk1's as I can. I'm obviously using Trevor Pidgeon's "Tanks at Flers" as my main guide and so far so good. I've basically scanned through the book and I wil...
I have been working on a spreadsheet that shows every available WWI figure (braille scale), whether metal, resin or plastic. It started as an inventory of the figures I have, but then I added a 'wish list' section and so it has evolved into a list of everything 'out there'. or at least, all those that I kn...
Many of you will know that most of the? armour collection at Fort Knox is being shipped to Fort Benning, Georgia where it won't be on public display. On one of the other forums I look at I saw a note from one of the staff at the Carlisle Barracks, PA? -the 6-ton tank is going to the Army Heritage and Education...

Hi All I was wondering if the?wealth?of knowledge that everyone shows here would be able to help me with something? I was wondering if anyone would have any images of British Mk I to V tanks on trains/carriages? ?I've been searching quite a few sites etc. but seem to fall flat on images of these. At this p...
On the Forum in 2008 there were a series of articles on the above narrow gauge diesel in 1:35 scale by Claus Nielson. I was hoping someone could help me contacting him. The reason is the Japanese firm of Kato have brought out a tram loco in N gauge,the motorised bogies would be ideal for a kit of the locotra...
I don't know if we've had this before, but I've come across a reference to a tank simply described as "Schneider". Weight 141 tons, L40ftxW10'9"xH9'8", 3 x 75mm guns, 9 x mgs, three turrest, Crew 28. Produced by Schneider, total production 1, date not stated. Sounds like the K-...
First pic is drawing of the Delaunay-Belleville 2.5 ton proposal of 1916. Second is of the D-B project that was finally abandoned in the 1920s. The latter seems to be very different and has clearly borrowed from Renault in several respects. Are these the same tank?
Thanks to Black Lion the decals for Sir Reginald are being worked on so I have no excuse to not finish the Emhar kit. Humm..... I didn't think about that!
Every time I try to make a contribution to the forum it dosen't accept my credit card. Any one else have this trouble and any suggestions to help in the cost?
Hello to all, I was just wondering if anyone on the form had accquired an A7V from FSF. I would be very interested in pics of the completed model, and info pertaining to the kit, especially in how it is compared to the Emhar kit (Which by the way completly disappeared from the internet two weeks ago! I can'...
I finished the tracks on the Mk II supply tank. After the XF-52 Light Earth base coat I used Tamiya Red Brown to paint the tracks. I then dry brushed the with Gun Metal and finally I dry brushed the raised detail with Model Master Silver.
I can't find this via the search engine, but apologies if this has been asked before. Does anyone know when the Austro-Hungarian army ceased to paint its gun carriages the sort of ochre used in the early nineteenth century? And what colour their artillery pieces were in 1914?
In the process of building?the Mark II Female - "COO-COO", does anyone know if there were any Mark IIs that didn't have grousers? Also, does anyone know the serial numbers of COO-COO? Cheers very much. Hugh
I'd heard of this device before, and have just read two highly contradictory accounts of its service and usefulness. Both agree that it was invented by a Belgian officer. The more favourable version says that it was an excellent weapon and came to replace the various models of 58mm spigot in the Frenc...
This photo taken on the set of Westfront 1918, showing the replica "Renaults". It appears to be from the Bundesarchiv. Maybe there's some more stuff there. -- Edited by James H on Tuesday 7th of September 2010 12:11:06 PM
