Hi all, i'm trying to find some photos of the Ford Model T, or TT (long wheelbase one ton truck version) in service on the western front, ideally in British service. To be ultra specific, i'm looking for photos of the 1917 onwards version, but any others would be nice, as the majority i've seen are in the m...
Was at the Museum of Transport in Glasgow?a while back?and among the other WWI exhibits was this very nice French built Schneider staff car used by either the British or French army (the caption just said 'Army' so not sure which one!) in WWI, 1915 built I think. Fantastic body work on it in great condit...

Thought I might share this WW1 vehicle manufacturer with some of you building in 1/35 scale.? They market a resin Berliet , along with a US Pierce Arrow truck.? You can see their products @ The Red Lancers.
This is from Airfix's site, describing the WWI American Infantry: These are the Doughboys that arrived in France and took part in the last great battles of the First World War. Their equipment includes light machine guns and a remote-controlled rifle. A remote-controlled rifle? Which one would th...
What ho chaps, Mililtary Modelcraft International (Feb 2008) has an article by Domi Jadoul of Retrokits fame,using 3-D fabric paint to make rivets. Can't wait to get started;I never thought I'd get excited by the thought of making scale rivets! TTFN, Marcus
An acquaintance, who serves as the commander of a US field artillery battalion, in Iraq has recently contacted me with photos of several pieces his unit has acquired.? I have identified the pieces as the French manufactured 75mm 1907 A.? I believe the manufacturer is St. Chamond and the emails from I...
Hi! I hope it will not be too modern on landship... Waiting for missing parts on my WW1 prime mover, I go to another of my favourite subjects, the tiznaos, or the home made armoured trucks of the Spanish civil war : I convert this one from a Ford AA (Toko GAZ in fact) to depict a very?crude design from the ver...
my friends, I am new to this site, I live in Malta and at present I am building a 1:35th scale model of the french autocanon de 75mle1913, a beautiful piece of french anti-aircraft mounting of the great war. it was mounted on a Dion Chassis, and was very effective. Some 400 pieces were delivered to the Bri...
Hello Gents, I was at the recent Ohio Valley Militaria Show this last weekend in Louisville, Ky, and stumbled across an incredible new title: "The Austro-Hungarian Artillery from 1867 to 1918" By Dr. M. Christian Ortner, apparently the director of the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum in...
Hi, Thanks to those who have already been so helpful on my 'choosing my first great war armour project' thread. The start is in sight - a MkI or MkIV supply tank. Just a couple of questions, that would round off what I need to build 'em - On a MkI Supply tank, I've read of a stowage box between the rear horns an...
This site has a series of illustrated articles on figure painting. Don't be put off by the fact that it's principally for gamers and fantasy enthusiasts; the techniques are shown on Romans and WWII so quite applicable to WWI.

Just noticed this on eBay. Item no. 280193380495. This photo looks like it was taken while Mephisto was still in German hands and with the rhomboid-toting devil on the front. Regrettably, I have no connection with the seller.
Two for the price of one. Italian motorcycle combinations I've never seen before, and guns mounted on trucks that I can't remember seeing, but we might have had them before. Any idents?
Hi all, i'm currently looking for photos, information, models etc (I know Convoy make one in 1/76) of the Albion A10 three ton Lorry. Here's a nice photo of one I found on Philthydirtyanimals Flickr page in service on the western front to get the thread started
Took these today for a friend, this is a Phelon & Moore 3.5hp at the RAF Museum, next to their Triumph Model H. The Phelon & Moore 3.5hp entered production in 1914 and was chosen as the standard motorcycle for the Royal Flying Corps. At the end of the war, the RAF had 3380 Phelon & Moore motorc...
Hi All,?

After months of patient daydreaming - whilst restarting my life back in Blighty - I'm now at the point where I want to start my first 1/35 armour project. I haven't built a thing in years, but used to be a dab hand with resin, scrap plastic, wire etc... back?in my Tamiya days. Several builds ideas have me i...
After almost a year without modelling (after the disaster with my 1:35 Whippet) I decided to start again, this time with a braille scale kit. Yesterday I received Modelkraks Fiat Armstrong Whithworth and thought you might be interested in a little review of this kit since no one is available on the ne...
This is from a small?section in one of the lesser-known old Profile publications, called The Experimentals. On the A7V: It was planned that the hinged-side square cupola be replaced by a round cupola because of the weight of the sides which were a burden to raise or lower. One vehicle was started but n...
Hi folks, I decided to build Modelkraks Fiat Armstrong Whithworth armored car. Unfortunately pictures especially of details are quite scarce, so I'd be happy for every new one! It would be also cool if somebody could point me at the approximate dimensions of this vehicle (the kit hasn't arrived yet...
