Hi, I recently purchased Emhar's 1/35th scale Mk IV Male. Normally I model WWII onwards but have always hankered after having a WWI tank. Anyway, having purchased the beast I then saw Terry Ashley's review in PMMS and noted his comments about the Sponsons - how the kit ones are at right angles to the hul...
Hello Guys, I thought I would share with you some drawing from a book I received for Christmas, It deals with Austro-Hungarian vehicles used in the First World War, My only problem with it is, it is in Hungariann. I thought since we are all interested in WW1 vehicles, you would enjoy these. They are,

I'm looking to broaden my knowledge on WW1 armoured cars - can anyone reccomend some? I've got 'War Cars' by David Fletcher, and looking to buy 'Steel chariots in the desert' by a Rolls Royce a/c driver in the desert, but they're the only ones I know of
Hi all, can anyone give any kind of info about this french trench mortar? I would like to model this gun on 1/35 but have only two old b/w pics and need more than this for detailing.
I think the first picture could well be of the mysterious Berthier machine-gun that we tried to fathom out some time ago. These are Belgian Grenadiers, and they must be pre-War since they're wering bearskins. The gun on the cart looks like the Berthier that can be seen towards the bottom of this page ht...

I know the Emhar Mk IV can be back dated to a Mk II or Mk III but is it possible to go as far back as a Mk I for a supply tank. I have the Airfix kit but I like the tracks in the Emhar kit better since you can glue them on.
I found these interesting photos,?http://englishrussia.com/?p=5241#more-5241 It's good to see that some places are restoring WW1 tanks, though they look quite well preserved in the first place. jch
This one is at Mt Morgan in Central Queensland. it was previously incorrectly identified as a C73 on the basis of a couple of small images. Billett identifies it as a 95mm smooth bore gun captured by the Light Horse at Beersheba. Any ideas on the identification? Regards, Charlie -- Edited by CharlieC o...
Is there any way to post model pictures on this site? I am working on the Emhar Mk IV and I am making some improvements to the kit and I would like to post some in progress shots but I don't know how. Thank you for your help.
Just received in the post? John Glansfield's The Devil's Chariots - The Birth & Secret Battles of the First Tanks, and was wondering if anyone who has read it had any general impressions on it. Its importance, etc. Also, any further recommendations on early armored warfare in print? I've the fol...
Hi All, Since reading the Osprey Book on German Panzers 1914 -18 by Steven J Zaloga I have become fascinated with the images of the A7V Flakpanzer, so, as we have all no doubt done from time to time, I started to scratch build this beauty using a Tauro kit as a starter.? I started in January and have been wor...
Just read a bit of Glanfield again. Acc to him, although the Holt was trialled successfully for the KuK Army, plans for a licence deal were scuppered by the outbreak of war. Does that mean that the Holts used in Belgium etc were all requisitioned civilian vehicles? There's this strange claim on an Amer...
I've I've just been messing about with a camera and took this shot of my white metal Schneider in 1/76 scale. The dispatch rider is from the Airfix model and the lorry adapted from the KeilKraft Dennis fire engine.
This is the first kit i've got to the painting stage in about six years, and happy with how it's come out so far. It's the Emhar Mk IV Female, nowhere near completion as it has a fascine and the unditching beam to be added later. Being built for my girlfriend who is currently researching the Battle of Cambr...
I am starting an interest in The Great War and I have posted a few messages on the board. I mainly build modern and W.W.II , But since I have seen all the great models on this site I have bought a few kits. I am very impressed with the help I have received on my questions. I live in the USA and barely computer lit...
