I know nothing at all about armoured trains. This is described as a Belgian one - that's all the info there is. First time I've heard of such a thing. Does it make any sense to anyone? Might make a nice model if it's gen.
I received this book recently and it seemed somewhat of a disappointment. There is nothing wrong with the text or photos but the colour plates have quite a few errors.

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.

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...
