With thanks to Pete, Kristof and several others, I was lucky enough to get a rather different view of Zonnebeke at the weekend - from the front seat of a Stampe SV.4 biplane. The Stampe SV.4 is a 1930's design, but most were built in the late 1940's. Although not a WW1 aircraft, it does however have a stron...

Test shots are on the website. ? http://www.hat.com/Curr2/Bx8199JA/Bx8199JA.html http://www.hat.com/Curr2/Bx8200GI/Bx8200GI.html One or two of the poses are a bit gawky but they look OK. They've come up on the rails while we're still waiting for the 75, limber, etc.
Strelets have put a pic of the Infantry in Summer Uniform on the site. Unfortunately, they don't look as if they're to the highest standard. I think some are wearing the Adrian, but it's not a very good job. And there's what looks like a Lewis, which I'm not sure about although I stand to be corrected. Hav...
Gentleman?? Hello, I am in need of a very good drawing of the St. Chamond. The drawings I have do not have good detail, especially the track system. Any scale is fine, but 1/35 is preferred. I would greatly appreciate any help. All the Best Tim R-- Edited by Tim R at 17:37, 2008-06-03
Don't know if any of you chaps can help me out on this one, but i've seen on one website (which I now can't find, bit of a pain as if they were worn I want them!) brass MT shoulder titles for sale, which stands for either Mechanical or Motor Transport. Would these have been worn by those in the ASC associated w...

Hi!

Other differences could be noticed (rear suspension, side hull cutting, hatches etc. Does anybody...

I bought the Verlinden kits in resin. - Please don't yell - The plan is to use this models to field them in games of Warhammer 40'000, to represent equivalent artillery models. What I would like to to, is to have 3 complete artillery sit...

Does anyone have any information about the allocation of the "flying pig" mortars. I have read that it was one battery of four mortars per division but I don't think that is correct? Can anyone through some light on the level at which this weapon was deployed.

It is a formerly confidential US Ordnance Department document entitled Handbook of Ordnance Data and dated November 15, 1918.? There are photos and descriptive texts for just about every weapon system used by th...
Is it just me, or has anyone else ever thought that Lego would be a brilliant medium for modelling WWI Tanks? I did a little Google searching and came up with these - Lego - http://www.brickmania.com/Gallery2/war/MkVtank.jpg Meccano - http://www.scmec.us/images/Henley98/WW1-tank.jpg The ca...

Over the past few days I saw no less than six 18 pounder field guns (seven including the Martin Perry mid-war conversion), the most numerous gun in the Royal Artillery's arsenal in the Great War. Apart from the seven seen during the week, and the one at the Muckleburgh Collection, Norfolk, are there an...
Hi! After long time delay, I eventually finished my US-ton converted from the 1/35 RPM kit with (very little) help from the MR Modelbau resin?set. At firt view the two tanks look very similar, if not identical, but if you look closer, there are a lot of change! For exemple, the turret shoult be totally r...
Hi everyone
Having now made my Cromwell Models Mk V* s. The model comes with the signaling post which sits on the top of the tank. Does anyone know how these were used? Obviously the batons can be raised and lowered but was it for some type of semaphore? I can remember seeing the same thing on the Bovingto...
Pits containing British and Australian dead from the Battle of Fromelles are being excavated. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7430622.stm You might notice that, unfortunately, the map shows a non-existent place called "Somme" on the French coast*. The BBC's budget for its websit...
Hello, I just came across this website with a large number of WWI era photo postcards of military vehicles and equipment that can be viewed online and thought I'd pass it on. I've just looked at the first page and have noted a number of rarely-seen armoured vehicles, artillery tractors, & etc. Whe...
Lots of excellent pics of surviving examples and v informative text (in French) here: http://orkide.club.fr/index.htm It's beautifully done. It also links to a re-enactors' site here: http://lepoiludelamarne.free.fr/index2.htm
I've had another loong period of too much work and no play, but hopefully I will soon be able to both update the site, answer e-mail AND even do some modelling myself - horray! And I have already started work on WD Models Brits, and they are AMAZING. The uniforms, the detail, the sculpting, the poses, the...
