I am interested in the the way the Imperial German Army built their fortifications and defences; very well from the few photographs I have seen!.where can I get plans, drawings, etc on this subject especially the Hindenberg Line defences?
Hello!
The American Expeditionary Forces "Engineer Field Notes" manual (September 1918) contains a section called "Engineer Field Notes No.23/ Field Fortification No.9/ Camouflage". In this section one can read about general aspects of camouflage (definition...
Can anyone please give clarity on the machine guns and their mounts fitted to Mk IV and Mk V tanks?
I'm busy doing the Interus Mk V Hermaphrodite and have grave suspicions about the machine guns and their fittings; referring to lots of photos doesn't seem to answer the question!
In summary, it woul...
I just got this mail from Jochen Vollert, of the Tankograd Publishing house:
"Gentlemen
I have recently been forwarded the link to your site which I consider extremely well done!
However, I encountered a major difficulty: In your Forum I can read the text but I cannot open any jpg. Just t...
I was browsing the internet and I found this photo:
the caption says these are German troops digging out a captured Japanese gun used by the Russians. The gun looks like the Japanese 28cm Howitzer but why would it be in Ru...
Hello everyone,
I've got the scratchbuilding bug really bad and after collecting many tools and supplies I'm ready to start. Does anyone have scale drawings of the WW1 mortar "Big Bertha", any rail guns or AA lorrys. I'm also looking for the Lebendanko tank drawings. I'd li...
Can any of you artillery buffs id the gun in the attached photo?
If one replaced the truck with a jeep the photo could almost have been taken in 1945 rather than 1918.
Hello,
I am interested in the Kaiserschlact Operation Michael 21/03/1918 and I have read that 4 A7V tanks went into action with the 36th Division near St Quentin. The A7V tanks all about 20 that were made had names; can anyone tell me the names of the 4 tanks which went into action that da...

I've replaced the old "Right now..."-department, with pics of my own work in progress, with a Blog now, simply because it's much simpler! The Blog is linked to from the Index page, and can be found here! -- Edited by Peter Kempf at 12:18, 2006-12-16
Peter,
Having just returned to your site after being away quite a long time (and being away from modeling WW1 ground machines longer) I have a small request. I make this public because I think there are others out there who feel the same way - or it may also be it already exists on the site and I mis...
Just noticed an unusual photo of a tank on eBay. The sponson has a crazy paving pattern and there is a cartoon-style illustration of a French(?) boy behind the sponson. The eBay item number is 200063296658. BTW, I have no connection to the seller whatsoever.
I swore I would never have an avatar. Unfortunately, I couldn't resist this. Worth being reduced to the ranks. A Belgian field kitchen with sentimental value.

The storage of the 1/48 scale card plans for the above tank have been deleted from the server where they were stored.
Does any one have decent plans of this tank - preferably at a scale decent enough for all the detail to be put on at 1/35th scale?

There's just been a documentary on TV about a Walter Thompson, a Special Branch detective who was Winston Churchill's bodyguard from the 1920s and throughout WWII. Their association went back to 1914, when Thompson was temporarily attached to Churchill while his regular bodyguard was on h...
Hey folks-
I have decided to start building a Russian Putilov 76.2mm m/02 from scratch--I have a few years expierience in sculpting 28/30mm scale miniatures but none in sculpting a machine like this. I don't exactly know where to start, the designs seems very complex to me and I can't find very deta...
I've just been given a book called The First World War: The Essential Guide to Sources in the UK National Archives.
It's a sort of index to all the Great War related stuff in the British Public Record Office, where there is a mountain of official documents from the period, some of which were kep...

Hi all!
I am gathering material for a modelproducer who wants to do the Rolls Royce AC (1914 and 1920 pattern hopefully) in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/35.
The kits are going to be produced as injectionmoulded polysteren kits so these are not going to be expensive resinkits
