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...

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?

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...

It seems that the Emhar FPW Prussians are ready for issue in the not-too-distant. Pic below. Rumour has it that the Pegasus French WWI & Early WWII are being modified because of some inaccuracy. The prototypes looked OK to me, but P weren't happy, so further delay on these.
