Latest news from Matador: within a few months they'll be issuing a model of the Medium C. In the meantime, I'll be working on a decal sheet covering the Medium C, as well as the Medium B and other Mediums + Heavies of different nations?in the twenties. All the best, Michel Black Lion Decals.

I recently found a link for an event at the French Artillery Museum for the 2008 Saint Barbaras Event. They have two French 75mm mle/1897 horse drawn with what appears to be correct harnessing and saddles: http://dailymotion.virgilio.it/user/mus ... lerie_news more of the same: http://dailymo...
Mr Tim Gosling, a contributor to this forum, has an article in February 2009's Military Machines International magazine. It is 6 pages long with lots of great photos.
I'd like to get myself an airbrush, not only for making 'display' models but also for work on small animation sets. Does anybody have any thoughts or ideas on this? tia andy
Sorry if, as a newbie, my first post is considered OT, but here goes anyway. A-H had sailors landed in the Boxer Rebellion. They had 2 small landing guns - can anyone help me identify what they were? Many thanks.

Noticed these photos of a 60 pounder on the Landships website - anyone know where this 60 pdr is? The website says that it was taken by someone from the USA, but hoping it's somewhere a bit closer to me than that! Also if anyone knows of any other 60 pounders surviving (except the one at IWM which is in a terr...
I don't think this has been mentioned recently. Retrokit France seem to be available at Tracks'n'Troops. The armoured cars and the Berliet are advertised, as are some new figures: MG08 with early crew Vickers with early/late crew Hotchkiss with late crew Browning with US crew Scottish infantry (S...
i want to scratch build the tank found on this site from the crude drawing of the side view. My question is as far as the turret is concerned it looks to me like it may be square? with round corners for the machine gun turrets and if so would there be a hatch on top and if so would it be center or offset round or sq...
...below is a photo someone sent me several years ago,? and I've forgotten the museum's location.? Pictured is a l.Feldwagen 95.??? Does this look familiar to anyone out there ?
Have now read the article in Tank Zone, and it clears up one or two things. It was already my understanding that when Estienne approached Joffre with his ideas he was put in touch with Schneider, where development of the Baby Holt was already well under way and had been for some months. He certainly didn...

Peter: The cop is for "Whoa, hold on a bit here!" We just went through the entire go round on how to tell the two different 15cm slK i.R.L. (also commonly known as the 15cm sK i.R.[15cm schwere Kanone in R?derlafette]) apart! The small un-clickable photo in the top lef...
This is my latest effort, I tryed a decent aproximation to a post WW1 tractor towing a U.S.or?British WW1 ?fiedkitchen. Both models are based in a media of?the?photos from the era, particulary the kitchen is based on the "Eclipse" Model, as a general idea. Thanks to Mr. Jorge Dominguez fo...
Greetings, The first photo of No. 9907 was probably taken in the United States. Does anyone know to what unit it was assigned? I can't really discern the markings on the front of the hull but think I can recognize a 65? (65th Engineers Heavy Tank Co? ). Thank you! John A-G Jackson, MO USA
latest Tank Zone has a very interesting article about the origins of the Schneider tank and separating the true Estienne input from others (Brilli?, Schneider, Breton) Especially developped is the origins of the tracked vehicle concept which apparemently was NOT the early idea of Estienne (it se...
Still can't find accurate images that I need for modeling purposes. Short of going to Bovington to photograph the machine itself, can anyone help with side and end elevation images and how the track units are attached to the main body? Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks.
