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...
YouTube has announced that from Dec 10 they reserve the right to remove any channel or video which is not monetised or is not "commercially viable". Landships II has a bunch of videos which are hosted on YouTube but appear in articles on Landships II. Most of these were put on YouTube by PDA. It would se...
Anyone any ideas on this? From the personal archive of the late cinema and theatre manager, Percy Swanwick, a keen amateur photographer and imaginative award-winning promoter. As far as we know, no copies of these images were ever copied for retail or public distribution. Swanwick was consistent...
I read in my book on French Tanks Of WW1 that the Germans tried putting their machine guns in concrete pillboxes and they failed to stop the tanks. Any more infor on this topic?
Hi all, pointed here by my friend Jagjetta in the thoughts that you all might be able to assist. I am researching out which tank this might be: The photo was acquired in a very extensive grouping to a Canadian 75th BN man who was KIA on September 30th near Cambrai. He and his section were sheltering in...
Am trying to assemble information on the Seabrook Armoured Lorries. The lorry was chain driven - does this imply a long chain back to the rear axle or were they front-wheel driven?
I've finally restored most of my archives since a disasterous computer crash a couple of years ago, but am still missing some issues of the above journal; namely for the entire years of 1938, 1973-1976, 1989 and anything after 1999 plus individual issues 298, 349, 355-357, 365, and 391. If anyone ca...
I've had this rattling around in my head for a while... I have noticed that the menus in the artillery section on Landships II are getting too long and unwieldy. One way of addressing this would be to split artillery and mortars into their own sections. It might result in more focus on the mortars and ma...
Gentelman I am looking for information in regards to the 2 inch medium mortar, toffee-apple!. In particular I need dimensions, and possible good drawing or clear photo's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. All the Best Tim R -- Edited by Tim R on Thursday 7th of November 2019 06:32:26 PM-- Edited...
I found this among some family photos. No date or location on it, but probably taken by my grandfather. Does anyone know where this tank was located, and what happened to it? Also, how much significance does the Home Service Number of 200 have, as it's the first in the range allocated to Females and the l...
Yep, got sidetracked once again... If you are like me, then you (apart from getting sidetracked a lot) have about two dozen Master Box and Emhar Mk1/2/4's lying around. These kits have tracks that are okay, but not great. There are some replacement tracks around, but they are expensive, very hard to c...
I know some people have strong feelings and/or reservations about FB, and there is the risk that you might find out more about someone than you wanted to know, but some time ago I started a group there. The group is called Landships and I really have not put much effort into it, it's more of a placeholder I...
This presentation desk model of a WW1 tank that is to be auctioned, produced by Browett, Lindley and Co. Ltd, Patricroft, Manchester, may interest some. https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/clarkesauctions/catalogue-id-clarke2-10065/lot-1177d29e-9956-471...
Fresh off the workbench. Meng's superb rendition of a Whippet Mk.A. I initially started to build both the Meng and Takom models as a comparison but ended up bailing on the Takom kit as I found it to be very poor. I did make some alterations to the kit using brass tube and styrene to improve some details and...
If you have a 'secret impressive weapon' like the 42cm, with unimaginable properties, you can use myth forming to add to itspsychological effects. With such a weapon all fortification must fall. This weapon will win the war for us. There are lots of "marketing goods" with relation to the 42cm, even a...
I am looking for information, name etc. of this particular French Mortar {mortar in question has one soldier attending}, it resembles slightly the Canon D'Accompagnement De 85 mm 1918 on page 65 of Le Canons de la Victoire 1914-1918. All help would be greatly appreciated. All the Best Tim R -- Edited...
I love the new 3D section! Big thank you and well done to Charlie, Arie, and Hans! If I can be very cheeky indeed, can I say how much I'm looking forward to seeing this section expand, perhaps even with the stl files of a Tank Mark V in 1/72. I don't have a 3D printer, but there is one available at my local publi...
