Hey all. I edit ACMOC Magazine for the Antique Caterpillar Machinery Owners Club and we've been researching a story on the Holt-powered G9, and I came across this forum and a quote that I have been trying my best to track down, to no avail. In this forum post - http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark...

Hello Guys! I would like to share the progress of my scratch built A7V. I think the painting on the armoured body is done for about 90 percent.

For the purposes of an illustrated talk, I'm looking for photographs of Tank crew casualties. I have seen some gruesome pics of a crew burnt to death while trying to escape (probably of the same vehicle, one with German troops posing next to them) but can't find them now. Any pics or links will help. Fre...
Dear All, today I would like to share again something I just bought for my collection. It is a farewell present to German Captain from his comrades. Among other things the treaty of Versailles forbid tank troops for the German Reichswehr. But a small troop called the "Kraftfahrtruppe" (m...
I've noticed that the 'yesterday' channel is showing the series 'Tank Overhaul' at the moment - the paper decribed this as 'an awesomely specialist interest program'. I saw several of them a while ago when it was on one of the other channels - it really is close to tank nerd nirvana. 'Yesterday' is on fr...

I've been looking at the photos of the back of Mk IV's on the website, and I've noticed that on both Loadstar and Flirt the unit which projects between the rear track horns is clearly sloped downwards - but on the one in the Aberdeen proving ground is vertical. What is this, and why are there two different...

I was in Games Workshop with my son today, and while there my eye was caught by the display of tanks for the Warhammer 40k game series. Not because I'm interested in playing but because it's clear that in 40 thousand years time all the lessons of armour design of the last 90 years will have been lost and for...
Dear All, I would like to share with you my latest purchase for my collection. It is a Russian AC, captured by Germans (Bavarians). The amazing thing is: look at the tires. Never seen such tires before. Does anyone have some information about it? Cheers Chris
