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
Doing some digging on Turkish vehicles I came across this photo of an Albion in the RMK museum in Istanbul. Its an Albion A10 3 tonner dating from mid 1917 and is equiped as a mobile X ray ambulance. A number of Albions were fitted out as specialist ambulances at the time (including mobile dentists' surg...
Just received Les Chars Fran?ais au Combat, with the free ECPAD DVD, which is, indeed , 55 minutes of bliss. In the book there is a photograph from a private collection. It's taken from an aircraft or balloon and shows an A7V and Schneider in very close proximity to each other in a clearing in a forest alo...

Here are the photos from this weekend at the RAF Museum Hendon, where the Old Contemptibles, Great War Society and RAF Museum staff teamed up to portray 22 Squadron Royal Flying Corps, based at Vert Galant, late March 1918. A fantastic time had by all and we put on a high quality, accurate and respectfu...

Hello everyone, my name is mike from New Jersey, over the past five years or so I have contributed several photos to the landships site. Yes Rob from the UK, I was the one who submitted the photos of the 60 pounder "somewhere in the US". Anyway I recently created a site called www.doughboysof...
Came across this pic, supposedly of the German body armour (Grabenpanzer) modified by an officer to protect his dog. According to the caption, it was referred to as Hundepanzer. Something similar was also used during the Boxer Rebellion. -- Edited by James H on Wednesday 1st of April 2009 12:11:27 P...
a few weeks ago i was reeding someones posting, and the further debate on a photo of a mark V tank being painted, and as to weather the identification marks had been censord. they had been, the front large number was 03 and the smaller one was 926. I came across the uncensord photo on the NSL archive
The first 7.7cm Feldkanone 96 n.A. it sits on a small island in the middle of an intersection in the town of Scotch Plains, New Jersey, where it has been photographed by Mike Casale. SNIP I grew up in Fanwood and graduated from Scotch Plains-Fanwood High. Growing up, I was told this gun was presented to t...
Just in case you have missed the news the Roden 1/35 1920 R/R is now at Hannants and Lucky Models. Just needs a set of spoked wheels and a few adjustments for WW1 I have nothing to do with any of the above HTH Paul
hello, i am doing a researchpaper on the belgian anti-aircraft artillery during WWI. I have found some informations that says that the belgians used two types of AA-carriages: the Schneider and the ACMA(T). I am having a hard time finding additional information on those two types of undercarriage...
I'm going to build the 1/72 Emhar Mk IV male - with matador sponsons and tracks. I've seen various places on the web mention the two holes in the rear horns which are not on the kit and I've found the thread on this site which shows where they should go nicely. I can't find a picture of a 'real' Mk IV which show...
I was looking at the Tracks and Troops website at the Retrokit France range, and the 37mm autocanon Renault 1915 and the De Dion Bouton with the 75mm AA gun on the back are very appealing - before I spend my hard earned money on them, has anyone built any of the Retrokit France (old Retromodels?) kits and c...
Does anyone have any photos of the Mack Bulldog in British service? Apparently 2,000 were used by the British, so there must be some photos out there somewhere.
Hello everybody, I hope this is new to you. The national Library of Scotland has published a digital collection of WW1 photographs: http://digital.nls.uk/pageturner.cfm?id=74462370 a lot of interesting photos including equipment for instance a nice little serie of armoured car pics: http:/...
One of my favourite exhibits at the RAF Museum is this Crossley light tender, built on the chassis of the Crossley 20/25 chassis which was also used as a staff car (see the thread on the Shuttleworth Collection for a photo of one). The first one was delivered to the Royal Flying Corps in 1913 and by the end...
On the CA2 & 3 as discussed elsewhere. Possibly useful paragraph in W Lawrynowicz's book on the Schneider & St. Chamond: The Schneider CA II was constructed, featuring a small turret armed with a 47mm cannon. Unfortunately, the completion of the project coincided with General Nivelle's r...
Applogies - I am not complete sure to post it here or in "German Tanks", but in fact the Mark IV was only captured by the Germans. Maybe someone can help me. When the Germans captured Mark IV and sent them as"Beutepanzer" back into battle, then they changed the gun of the male Mark I...
