Horse-drawn pigeon loft of the Royal Engineers Signal Corps, 1915. Can't tell the location from the background, but presumably in France/Belgium. Colour scheme appears to be the same as that on some of the bus ones. One theory is that it helped the pigeons to recognise it.
Along with my Latil TAR, I've built a 155GPF from Azimut and as I'm waiting for white ink to finish my Tiznaos, I've done some painting experiences on the gun. The kit itself is really fine, parts are well finished and the model is easy to built except for the towing trolley [img]http://www.colleurs-d...
As I was unpacking my WWI equipment now i'm back in London, thought i'd photograph it to show how my impression is getting along - as it stands now, I have everything I need, except for my SD trousers and tunic, and the greyback shirt.

According to plastic soldier review, Emhar have released their Franco Prussian War Prussians. So, I guess they're still in business. Only seen one preview figure, and he looks good - suitable for first world war, i'd say

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.

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...

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...

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?
