Landships II

Some of HaT's recent figures are soft plastic, like polyethylene, but can be stuck with polystyrene cement. Anyone know what this stuff is? Now I'm told that Loctite have brought out a glue which bonds standard polyethylene. I'd be intersted to know if anyone can report on its effectiveness.

There doesn't seem to have been any publicity about it but the Fine Scale Factory Opel is available. I've just received one and it appears to be excellent - nicely detailed resin and white metal. It looks very promising. The only disappointment is the instructions; pretty crudely photocopied,...

Now that I too have learned how to post pictures

(thanks Vilkata!) I can't withhold you the sight of these two Interior Views, that were sent to me a long time ago, by who I can't remember, and the source was never given: obviously from some book. Anyone knows where they were publ...

Hello Gentlemen I am looking for information on the following vehicles: the German Daimler MG Wagen 1914, and the Austrian Berna ?Perl Armoured Car. 1. German Daimler MG Wagen 1914: This vehicle was based on an earlier prototype, based upon the Da...

I recently found some nice artillery images on eBay that I can't find a reference for. The gun shown seems to have a carriage identical to the French 280mm Mortier M1914/16 by Schneider, but it looks like a "canon" with a longer more slender barrel. Can anyone shed some light? [i...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are any 1:72 scale french mortars? I was thinking the mortar from Hat's russian heavy weapons set (the 58mm FR mortar), however I do not know much about this subject? Thanks! Regards, John Stapleton

Hello, I'm planning to build a MGM Ehrhardt in Polish service. I found two vague photo's of it in Polish books, showing an inscription on the side: Pulkownik Kazimierz Grudzielski. I couldn't figure out the exact colour of the vehicle; a drawing in one of the books shows the vehicle in light grey, but o...

Check it out, it's awesome! http://henk.fox3000.com/gzenoni.htm

Hi Ive heard that the mk.V tanks were used as road blocks in Berlin in 1945 and that there are lots of pictures of them? Can any one post some? Thanks

Hello Everyone I have just come in to possession of two rare pictures, I was told they may be the elusive Krupp Armoured Limber?? of 1918. I am not sure, some of the uniforms look German, but others seem different.

Any idea?????????? https://i22.phot...

With the slow demise of the Belgian branch of Tracks & Troops the main source (at least for me and my compatriots ) of the superb Italian kits of Mr Panzer and Il Principe Nero has closed down. (But hopefully Milan Vins new upgraded Tracks & Troops will soon be operational.) But now I just want...

Hi all I ordered a pair of Mark IV Females (1/72) and was working around a diorama idea in my head. I was thinking of showing a pair of Beutepanzers advancing in conjunction with infantry. Couple of questions: 1. Are there any pictures of this or descriptions of how they were used by the Germans tact...

Does anyone know that if some manufatures will ewer make 1/72 scale German WWI Zeppelins

Dear Sir, I've recently shifted my modeling interests into WW1 artillery and armor, and, due to that, found out your fantastic site, wich has been a tremendous source of ideas and references for me. A few months ago, a friend of mine gave me 2 MGM kits, the Austro Daimler artillery tractor, plus...

Well, as you know from the French rail road guns thread, I recently acquired a copy of John Batchelor & Ian Hogg's excellent (out of print) 'Rail Guns'. It covers only America, France, Britain and Germany, so no Italian or Russian artillery I'm afraid! However, those four nations were the main pr...

Tracks'n'Troops have a list of WW1 figures by MGM, including 2 German Tank Crews and a Communications Team, but there are no pictures of them on the site. Does anyone have any pics?

This is excellent website about Austro-Hungarian Army, especially artillery, unfortunetely in Ukrainian (yes, the letters are Russian-like) but here is table of the guns with calibers with links to the particular articles. Site is full of photos! http://austro-hungary.iatp.org.ua/arms...

I have seen this photo of a monster French railway gun, here (http://www.worldwar1.com/pharc005.htm): Note the monstrous recoil cylinders, which give it an incredibly aggressive appearance! Now, at first I thought it might have...

Wespe Models is a Romanian firm who specialise in WW2 subjects in a variety of scales from 1/24 to 1/87: http://www.wespemodels.ro/ However, they do a couple of items of interest to Great War devotees, especially these very nice St Chamond railway gun kits: [img...

Below are links to images I have collected of two types of large guns that seem to be from the same family. They seem to have identical carriages with wide metal wheels with web spokes (that look British to me). They have very short recoil mechanisms, and one version seems to...

I have been collecting images of WWI guns for a few years, and have found several which seem to show fairly large French guns from the same "family". These images are shown/linked below. The guns seem to have the same carriage, which apparently is moved on specially constructed rails.&...

Hello Every one I am looking for any information on Lawrence's Rolls Royce {BLUE MIST}. I would really love to see more pictures, I have one were the vehicle is in Wadi Ithm. It looks like it has the standard Rolls front tires, with dual rear tires, in the form of artillery stock. Thanks All...

Hi all: Can anyone answer these questions: What was the colour of the german home-made trench mortars in the begining of the positional war? Were these primitive and makeshift weapons (mechanical projectors, the so-called "earth mortar" or the Genter Mortar) painted with a standard colour or w...
