Well, help is now at hand: a new article has been posted in the Fortifications Section, where you can find a collection of wartime plans of WW1 Trenches, for now only British & some Ge...
Hello! I bought several white metal WW I -figures (The Fusilier, 1/24 scale) and Mack Bulldog trucks (Sierra West, 1/48 scale), also white metal. I didn't work with metal parts so far. Now there are several questions to the group: - How do I have to prepare the parts before assembling them? - Which...

I just recently purchased an old OOP Airfix kit. It's the old 1911 Rolls Royce kit in 1/32nd scale. I purchased this kit with the odea in mind of using it to build a WWI Rolls Royce based armoured car in {finally} a larger scale.
So, my question, even though it m...
After scaling some card kits to be printed out in different scales to suit other models, I thought it might be handy for others to see the conversion ratios needed for reprinting. This information is also helpful for enlarging/reducing scale plans. Hopefully the chart is self-explanatory but if it...

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&...

Gentleman? I am trying to research the English Medium Mk D. We have spoke about the tanks designed by the English towards the end of the war, but I can not recall any thing on the Medium Mk D. I would really appreciate any help with my research.***Centurion, how about one of those awesome drawing of yours...
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...

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...
