I want to build a larger model in 1/8 or 1/4, and take the measurements from a 1/35 scale plastic kit to work from. Whats the best way to do this, is it just using a set of verniers or is there other more accurate methods to do this. Can anyone advise. Â
I bought the Meng armored Rolls Royce and the Djiti dished wheel set to do the Irish use version. Question: what did it actually look like in colors and markings? The one in the Bovington museum was used after serving in Ireland, so it wouldn't count.
Hi All, I run a website sharing information and photos of Tank Data Plates including the WW1 period. Data Plates were the plates fitted to tanks contain manufacturing info, serial numbers, dates and builder of the Tank. If anyone has any photos, information or questions please comment. Attached is...
I'm pleased with and proud of this bit of detective work, even though a bit of luck was involved. These photos appear on the Kansas City Museum site: They're on page 14 of the search results. The caption accompanying each of them says, "Probably a film still; film unknown." I didn't recognise any of the...
https://www.theworldwar.org/ Closed at the moment because of the virus, but they have a skeleton staff on duty. If you go to the archive and search "tank" you get this. 400+ images, some familiar, but a lot from private donors and that are new to me. Unfortunately, though not surprisingly, there are...
The much-discussed 280mm Schneider Mortar 1914. According to sources, it was used by France, Russia, Soviet Union, Poland, and Nazi Germany. Which uniform is this? I lean towards Russian, but not entirely convinced.
Anyone still alive out there - or has the CCP Virus offed the community? Here's something to exercise your brain whilst being locked down/quarantined/self isolated. What is it? Sorry about the image quality it started out as small image on a page scanned by Google (aka minimum wage moron producing c...
I am attaching an article which gives the number of "heavy guns " with german army as 1024. I am assuming that the mainstay of there calibres are the 150mm and 210mm. But according to Jager's book in 1914 german army only had 200 or so 21cm and 416 15cm howitzers. They dont add upto 1024 , so what...
Now that I've heard of that, I'd prefer to build one of these rather than attempting to make a cargo tank-the trucks were far more common anyway. I read that the British bought and used them even before the USA entered the war. Where can I find pictures of British use trucks? Photographs of course are...
Visit this Museum last month. Nice collection, modern display. I have almost all my pictures properly identified, still missing this heavy minenwerfer (don't know caliber and model): And this gun: I plan to post more pictures within the next few days Massimo

Not absolutely sure this is the correct section. but here's an interesting joyride, with at least one famous person amongst the party. Is it an FT? Wartime or post-war?
Does anyone have info on Thomson Steamers in India, Turkey.
I have lots on Hornsby Crawlers and Holts should you be interested.
Also, whatever happened the to Mark V tanks the Canadians were using
in 1940?
Hi people! After a long time I eventually complete a FCM2C from Meng, a very nice kit, I've built years ago but never painted until I found a interesting camo on the french GBM. The one I wanted to find! Â The tank is painted with an intersting scheme showing a green hull with camouflaged turrets and roof....
Hi all, I'm curretly researching the Hotchkiss 42mm mountain guns used by Chinese army in late 19th and early 20th century, at least 24 were purchased in 1895 to make up for the huge loss of guns in the Sino-Japanese War 1894-95. From contemporary Chinese manuals and photos it is clear that these guns...
It's been awhile since I was able to get any modeling done. Here is my completed Criel Models WWI Italian mountain gun. It's an old kit that needs work. I've added the following... the barrel has received eye rings, a turnbuckle, barrel tightening details, and a bit of detailing on top of the bree...
As part of compiling my sources from American Machinist, I found this photo on page 876 of Volume 49 (November 14, 1918 publishing date- found from this source): I have no idea what this howitzer is, or if it is even a real photo/illustration (it might be just an error and it's a 6-inch Model 1908). Â It se...
Since I posted my article on the Canon de 75's recoil system and how it was mass-produced by Singer in WWI, I had planned to post my other American Machinist sources at some point. Â During the isolation of the last few days, I finally got around to organizing all of the sources I found. Â These don't have a...
