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...
To my surprise, I have become embroiled in a rather acrimonious public dispute about German tunics. My opponent claims that certain units wore a Bluse or Waffenrock with breast pockets - specifically the Prussian Fusilier Guards, 1st Bavarian Ski Battalion, and the Wurttemburg Mountain R...
Good day. I would just like to know the difference between the two A7V kits by Tauro - the Sturmpanzerwagen and the Totenkopf. Tauro packs a hefty price tag and I don't want to get the wrong one.
Is it really advisable to get the Tauro A7V at all?
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 have an Emhar kit of the A7v and I understand that four of them went into action on 21/3/1918 Operation Michael, does anyone know the names of these four tanks?, I understand that they had names like schnuk how cute
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.
, any way you dug up a great deal of information, very interesting, gre...
