"Tanks In The Great War 1914-1918" by J.F.C. Fuller, is one amazing book.
It was first printed in 1920, but has recently been reprinted by "The Battery Press, Inc." ISBN: 0-89839-325-6
This book covers all the different tank battles in surprising detail. Even the Second and Third battles o...

Just recieved my shipment of old articles from a historical society, involving Edwin Wheelock and/or the Skeleton Tank, from Winona Minnesota.
BIG images, but worth it!!! Check It Out.
1st Attachment: Article about how Edwin Wheelock may have been the true inventor of the British tank. D...
A while back we brought up the 'Scat the Kaiser' tank, and a simple side-view drawing of the strange Holt design was presented. But, does anyone have any pictures of it? Or anything new?
I read somewhere that there were a couple mockups built of different versions of this "Special 18" vehicle.

...is amazing.
While written in Russian, with cyrillits letters difficult to decipher for average forumite (or I underestimate you?) it contains lots of cool pictures.
First the Rhomboids in Russia:

Just saw this in a book, and figured I'd scan the pic and post it.
Was this sucker an artillery mover? Supply mover? Both?
It certainly looks like it was built purely for the war. It certainly does not look like an agricultural model.
When I first saw it, I thought the book must have got it wro...
Howdy All,
This is a question I just have to pose to you All...
As much as I really enjoy model kits from the Great War and that era, I must at the same time admit to at least a wee bit {and this is putting it mildly}of frustration regarding the unavailablity of land vehicles I want in 1/35th...
Hi
I ve read in several places that the Italians bought a couple of schneiders and soon realized that they were worthless and spent their effrots copying the ft-17, but are there any photos of the Italian schneider?
Two more sites with Model T's a la WWI.
The first is a reprint of a Canadian magazine of the period, "Ford Times," the war issue. LOTS of ambulances, but other stuff too. A favorite is "army transport with body made from old packing crate." Pipe transports, too.

Howdy All,
Felt the need to exercise my 'Duh!' synapse by asking what is probably a question that has already been answered many times by the crowd here, but....can someone identify these two vehicles please?
...
Howdy All,
Again, here I go with the questions!.....jeeeeez, {I warned ya}
I don't mean to ask what in my mind is a simple question, but just so's I can get some kind of answer I'll ask it anyway.
I've built a decent amount of WWII armoured vehicles and so have had my share of dealings with man...
Howdy fellas,
Yep...me again I was curious if this kit was any good....
It's by Tauro {obviously}, and I am pretty happy with their A7V kit, so I was hoping for some critique if at all possible form any...
I was just perusing my mysterious little Russian book, and I noticed some stuff I hadn't caught before. The book is about early armor, up to about 1918.
Now, these are probably very unimportant, but I thought I would post them anyways - simply because I don't have the foggiest idea what they are.

Hello Guys
Since we all like unusual vehicles, I thought we could have a good discussion on these very strange WW1 Landship/ Battleship drawings dated 1917 and 1918. The first is the Aubriotand Gabet Landship: which runs on 4 sets of tracks.
Second is the Atherton Land Battleship:...
For those of you who like to see Landships move, the Imperial War Museum shop is still selling the Battles of the Somme on Ancre on VHS PAL. These are original silent WW1 documentaries, the Battle of the Ancre includes the earliest film of British tanks among lots of other material. Sadly they ar...

Hello Guys
I have run across some more information on Russian WW1 tank designs, I hope Stoyan/or any body else can shed some light on this for us.

"While in France in 1918, I was directed to report on the military value of a machine going by the euphonious name of the 'moving fort and trench destroyer'. An elaborate set of blueprin...

I aquired this 1987 CCCP book online. It's a little floppy paper book a good 100 or so pages long. The fabrication of the book is quite simple, no glossy pages, thin paper.
