I found this file on Thingiverse. It's a Mark V by Treespirit with a Creative Commons license. It looks OK to me, but is there the wrong number of idlers? Are the details off? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2270859

Greetings, I am trying to sort out the history of MK V 9136 but need help interpreting details. As I understand it, 9136 was originally an 8th Battalion B Co tank. Its engine was seized, so it was unable to entrain on August 29. By September 27, it had been assigned to the 301st Tank Bn. Co. C. (U.S --...
Hello, It's a while since my last post I went to Eindhoven exhibition where I bought this nice little tank ... as well as many other stuff. This is a nice kit, with few bubbles. Let's see the parts. I started the building process before to take some pictures. [url=https://servimg.com/view/1195783...

I was wondering if anybody had information on the various World War One land torpedo designs? I included pictures of the Torpiller-Terrestre, Wickersham, and Simm's Land Torpedos.
I found a source mentioning a tracked variant of the Simm's War Car, but the source has been unreliable in some aspects, and I was wondering if this had any chance of actually being an idea. I have attached the image given I found. Thanks!
I have been looking at older forum topics and found soe vehicles I did not know much about. These vehicles are the 1918 Krupp Kraftprotz, the Wegmann Waggonfabrik Hessen-Cassel Tank, and the Hanover tank designed by Louis Ehlers. I linked the discussion if anybody wants to look it over. I was just...
Now on Ebay! Caption reads: "A7V Panzer Versuchswagen Tank Prototyp Raupen-Selbstfahrlafette". Of course it's not an A7V prototype! [IMG]https://images54.fotki.com/v101/photos/4/3824994...
I remember reading that though the St. Chamond turned out to perform poorly while trying to cross trenches, when it was on flatter ground this tank type did fine. Was that the case?
Till the present day I always thought, this was only some kind of prototype! Now this photo is on Ebay and was posted in a Russian forum: [IMG]https://images46.fotki.com/v677/photos/4...

I would like to ask if anybody could recognize the vehicle in this drawing I found, or if it is a historic vehicle at all. Thank you. I also included some designs for a super-heavy tank design from Admiral Bradley Fiske.
Finished & photographed this evening. My dirty old girl is complete at last... It's been an interesting change of pace, building my first WW1 tank, the weathering especially - I swear that I actually channeled my inner 'lump of mud' in order to understand all the places muck & dust gathered...
Hi folks, I'm a new user here, though I've visited the site for quite some time. I recently noticed in this photo below that there are actually two tanks in the background - one of which resembles a Schneider. Not sure if this could add to some information for this site's page regarding French Beutepanz...
Hello to everyone. I'm a slight history buff in regards to WW1 artillery, and have been following (and referencing) this site and forum for a while now. I don't make models, though. I joined because I finally found a detailed article about the US manufacturing process for the Canon de 75's recuper...
I'm doing some drgs of the FV 4005 Stage II in 1/35 and am looking for the paper we used when I was in consulting engineering around the time the pyramids were built. Butcher paper is fine for non-detail work, but I can't find the correct paper her in South Africa. All the students draw on a plastic film w...
