Hello, Is it possible to tell which factory built a Mark IV from its number? My Great Uncle was a tank driver with B Battalion. On 23/11/17 he won the MM at Fontaine-Notre-Dame driving a Mark IV male. I was extremely lucky a while ago to trace the Battle History Sheet for the action and on it&...

Hello, Due to my bizarre interest in the tank corps of WW1 my dear wife bought me the Emhar mark IV model for Christmas - Oh how she laughed! Undetered I set about building it. As the last time I did a model was 30 years ago its probably not great. However, I'm pleased with it - or at l...
I am trying to make something like tank database, and I'd like to know if there is some software, that could help me (like software for making something like family tree with informations about people). I suppose there is no such software, but if there is...
I've found a number of references to Austro Hungarian naval and army operations in and off China in 1914. I think that this may be in connection with Tsingtau. I know that at least one KuK cruiser was involved. Does any one have any further info
Hi, I'm new to this list-?I'd like to say what a great site "landships" is. I wonder if anyone could tell me how to get hold of a 1/72 or 1/76 Holt 75 HP Tractor? I gather that B K Modelcraft had one, and that Matador have now taken over their products, however I can't see anything on...
Excellent site, amazing story of the formation and operations of the legion and the resultant creation of Czechslovakia, all told in a slide show of some hundreds of photos not to be missed for all those interested in the war in Russia both during and after WW1....... http://web.mac.com/czechlegi...
I am wanting to model a Minewerfer emplacement for my 15mm wargaming and was wondering if anyone has or knows of some pictures. Preferably 1918 Hindenburg line type. It needst to hold four mortar teams. I was thinking it would be just four deep dugouts and a command bunker all connected by trenches. An...
When putting together the article on WW1 electronic warfare I was fooled, I have to admit, by a combination of German and British mis-direction. I hope this sets the record straight.
When Britain cut the German sea bed telegraph cables in 1914 Germany did indeed revert to its wireless network, h...

Had a message from Caesar about a release date their remarkable French Infantry. The bloke there is called Peter. He seems very pleasant and thinks England is a beautiful and wonderful country. Ah, well.
The best we can hope for is October this year, but possibly not until next year. If you haven't s...

Hello!
I'm working on a Monogram Mack Bulldog truck in 1/24 scale .... sorry for that! It's my goal to convert this kit into an AEF lorry. The Monogram model kit dates from 1976 and contains nice real rubber tires.
From car modellers I learned that there are rubber materials which cause some damage...
Bovington has supplied me with drawings of the semaphore, but no scale - does anyone have any dimensions for me to scratchbuild it as the Interus kit doesn't have it?

A while ago there was a thread on the subject of recovering Beute panzers. One, unanswered question was how were they loaded onto railway trucks given that they could not drive onto them. Here is the answer - jacked up and the wagon run in underneath them.

Hello, I know it's earlier than WWI but anyway, that's the same weapon. I'd like to see some photos of Russian maxims on artillery type carriages, taken from the rear side. If there are drawings avaliable, this would me magnficent. May you help me please ?
I know this is frightfully off-topic, but I've stumbled across news of a WW1 Flight Simulator being developed by a Russian Company. Just look at the screen-shots: they will blow your mind. Also: the ground models that are to be featured in the game are quite good: all the mjor tanks, etc.
Check it o...
Reading material on the use of the Light Hotchkiss in the British army I find that when used by cavalry (for which use it was originally adopted) a spare barrel was carried and the barrels changed after 500 rounds had been fired. Presumably the same applied to the use of this weapon in tank...
