Landships II

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?

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...

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...

Hello everyone I was just going through some pictures in my collection, and found these 3 pictures of some drawings of the first British tank design used in combat according to the terrified German soldier's that drew them. These pictures are like the one in (The German A7V Tank by Hundleby &...

Hi I am interested in any info on how the half track parformed and how good it was and wee did it actually fight? as for the Keergese chassis were they used on any other viehcles?

I've seen pictures of this armored car before, but I didn't realise it was this widespread! It is a presumption, but I suspect that if this vehicle was important enough to become an image on a postcard, it must have been fairly significant in the USA. Does anyone have any information? As f...

After considering a number of projects I think I'd like to scratch build a Austria-Hungary 8cm M05 field gun in 1/72 scale featured by the excellant photos in Peter's Landship's Artillery section. [I hoped to do a US 75mm M1902 Ehrhardt but lack enough detail photos, pa...

I've just got the book "The 1917 Spring Offensives" by Yves Buffeataut (Yves can be seen in the French "Militaria" magazine), which I think just recently been translated into English.

Hello everyone Here is a new one for you, I am looking for some information on the French Perinelle-Dumay tank project of 1918, some sources say it was a project of 1933, this is as far as I know not true, The project was started in 1918 as the French answer to the K-Wagen, and the Flying Elephant p...

I am very joy to find this board and spoke to Tim Rigsby. I am hoping that some here have suggestions to help with this matter. I have a 13mm Maschinengewhr Tank und Flieger (MG18 TuF) which I have made to function (no worries please as it is fully legal) but it feeds very poorly with stops every 3-5 rounds....

I have an interesting problem here. I have been in contact with H?T reagarding them doing another WW1 Armourfast Plastic AFV kit. (Right now I'm painting a test shot of their new American WW1 Infantry.) I don't know if you are familiar with the Armourfast concept. Personally I like it: the Armourfa...

Now, the Mendelejev and the Tsar tank are certainly good mind-candy, but were there any SERIOUS russian tank designs of WWI? Yep! The "Vezdekhod" was a very light pedrail tank, that was actually built in prototype form and worked great, but it was never put into production. A pedrail is...
