Some time ago there were requests for dimensions of flimsies. My late father was a restorer of motorbikes of C 1912 -1922. These included an ex WW1 WD Royal Enfield. As part of his search for accessories etc he aquired a number of flimsies of the period. As I had the opportunity &nbs...

Over the last few weeks I have disassembled, sand blasted and Osphoed (chemical coating to neutralize rust) my German 9cm C/1873 Kanone.? Sheet metal parts with rust-through were also replaced.?

Hi all, I'm new here and already got some questions. But first of all, sorry for my poor English and I may not all the time have the right terms. I'm converting the?Verlinden's MkIV in 1/16 scale to a MkV as used by the US troops in 1918. By looking at some contemporary photos I noticed that some MkV ahd the s...
If you - like me - built models during the 80-ies, you certainly saw the beautiful plans of Ken Musgrave in different Forums. Now I'm glad to announce that I've been contacted by mr Musgrave, who sent me a number of his plans, with the permission to post them on this site. This is really great news, as his W...

Forugon Mle 1887
This was perhaps the most numberous GS vehicle is use during the war, and remained in use with the French military long after. I would think an example may have survived somewhere in France, but I haven't located any in my visi...

I search for the information on armored trains of the western front. They were? Not railwayguns! Armored trains! French especially interest.
A little not on a theme. To the beginning 2WW France had armored trains or armored draisine?
There's been various discussions on this forum about tanks visiting towns to raise money through War Bond sales, both in the UK and in north America.? I've just found, to my surprise, that a tank week was held in Japan (specifically Tokyo and Yokohama) in July 1918.? The Times of 16 July 1918 has this to...
These were developments of the original CA 2. I believe that the CA 2 had a turret but may not have been completed and the CA 3 had its gun mounted in the same manner as the St Chamond. Neither solved the basic trench crossing problem that made the original ineffective. Does any one have or know a source of i...
