I've been gone with life getting in the way. I've been wanting to build my American Field Service ambulance, and I assume the kit and colors are accurate, especially since I assume the early ambulances came in different designs to start out with. But I wanted to put at least a driver and maybe some lit...
Dear All! Â I searched the Forum for a link to a A7V movie Clip, but I can't find it. It shows captured Elfriede during test driving by the French. Â Can anyone help please? Â Thank you! Â Kind Regards Chris
Hi all, I noticed an ebay auction for a Savoy crestware WW1 tank, with the crest of Hastings.? Interestingly (for me at least) the piece has a number on the side - 515, and a name - Donner Blitzen.? The auction item number is?180205718531. My data base of Mark I tank names and numbers has very few D Company...
 This Turkish howitzer was on the Axis history forum but no one came up with an identification. There was a suggestion it was French but that seems unlikely since it uses a sliding wedge breech block - something the French didn't use. In terms of deployment it looks similar to the French 155 C Mle 1880 ho...
Empire troops in HMGC/tanks 1916-18.
I have a private reference to a Canadian A Coy tank commander in 1917. When volunteers were sought for the HMGC in 1916, were Dominion/Empire units canvassed, and if so how many Dominion soldiers were accepted, and where from?

Dear all,  I would like to share this item with you. I bought it on eBay for low Money.  Does anyone know what it is? Is it more a German Sketch in the beginning of the tank assaults or ist it a Sketch of a possible German model? The material is not paper - it seems to more or less something like linen. It seems...
Been onto Bovington to see if the have a plan pack and factory blue print drawings of the A13 Cruiser Mk 3 tank but no luck so far either slow or closed for a while. Anyone know who else would have the sizes.
Strelets has another WW1 artillery piece in the making. As can be seen here, it is a Canon de 65 mm de montagne mle 1906. They released a 105 mm Schneider and a 155 mm de Bange gun earlier. The quality of their figures has dramatically inproved so I wonder if anybody could comment on these gun kits? I have bo...

Does anyone know of a drawing or any illustration of the idea apparently?presented?by Hetherington to Stern and James Radley, and subsequently to Churchill by Hetherington, Sueter, and Briggs at the famous dinner? Centurion has described it before, but these are one or two additional statistic...
Hello, everyone here. Please advise-the BL 8 howitzer had an artillery platform. Wood beams formed the base, or metal profiles could also be used? Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Or was it a combination of both types of material? The platform was still in the ground - wood could have had a damp problem.... Than...
