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...

Hi all! ?Looking for a color plate or description of the Blue Devils uniform in 1918. Was it the same 1916 dark blue with beret and curved walking stick? ?Were they organized like a regular infantry platoon.? Thanks, Chris

I am currently looking for information concerning all improvised bombthrowers/catapults used in the trench?s on all sides.
I am very interested in the LEACH used in 1915 and 1916, I would especially like any information relating to what battles it may have been used in, also what com...
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 am currently searching for information concerning the Newton Cargo Carrier, designed and built in late 1918 by England and the United States, by firms such as Ford in England, Buick and Studebaker in the US.
I have the information on the web site Tanks, and a few references fro...
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...

Have now completed the restoration of the WW1 German 10.5 cm LF howitzer and returned it to its new home at Moonta. Have diagrams of the HE shells that this gun could fire and will attempt to make a dummy shell like one of the photos below. However I have no information about the "Charge" used and would lik...
Hi ,
found some pictures of the French 1914 Hotchkiss.Is this gun the same as in the British tanks ?
Or are the British MG updated or upgraded for tanks ?

In The Fighting Tanks Since 1916 this small illustration is tucked away on a page about German Tanks. It's described as the "power train of LKIII".
The text says, "A new design, the LKIII, which followed later, contemplated placing the engine in the rear part to unite more closely the power unit and...

Great job on the **Electronic Warfare in WW1** Article, I have a keen interest in this, a few years ago, I did a thesis paper on the subject for a class I was taking on War and its effects on History. I got a 98, type o?s, any way you dug up a great deal of information, very interesting, gre...
I've seen various lists of WW1 participating nations but often incomplete and/or difficult to follow. I've done a spreadsheet that should be simple to follow - its enclosed. It gives the dates when each country came into the war with whom. Its colour coded so its easy to se which country actualy decla...
