HiIndeed it is a very long time since I could show here my modelling attempts. It was an A/V tank in 1/25 scale. As the photos have disappeared here one example from what I finished 13 years ago In the...
Most repositories of 3D models want to charge for them. recently found a free repository (RIGModels) which has some interesting WW1 3D models. I've looked at few of them in Meshlab and they seem much better than small scale wargaming models. QF 3inch 20cwt anti-aircraft gun - Britain first dedic...
A question of I may? I have designed a 3D printed replacement roof and driver’s cab for the Airfix Mk1 tank. In addition, I have ‘drop in’ tracks for both the Airfix model and the Masterbox. Images of these parts appear in the ‘tanks’ section. Is there an individual of note herein to whom I can send samp...
While wasting time on Reddit I found this short film. It shows 3 (I think) Mark V tanks, and 2 Medium B tanks. It was captioned as "WWI Vintage Mark V Tanks in Soviet Service captured during the Initial stages of Barbarossa"
I have recently been asked if it might be possible to scale up the track plates I created for the 1:76 and 1:72 tanks from Airfix, Masterbox and Emhar. I realised that the compromises used to give the correct appearance in those scales would not work in 1:48 or larger. As a consequence I set about desig...
Hello As the title suggests can anybody point me in the direction of a photo or drawing on one of these please? I believe it was some sort of Zenith but could be wrong. Actually some sort of guide as to any carb used would be useful. Any help is much appreciated.
I’ve posted in ‘TANKS’ but realised that this might be more appropriate. It seems that it has been nearly 9 years since I was enthusiastically creating grenade canopies, improved steering tails etc, etc for Airfix and Masterbox Mk 1s. I have recently revisited the Airfix model to see what can be do...
I am presently working on creating a replacement driver/commanders cupola (width corrected, rivet detail etc, etc) and a ‘roof’ with the circular access and riveted joints corrected etc (with thanks to Mk1 Nut and all the work she has done). My prototype print indicated a need to increase the size...
I am looking for additional information about the Prussian Krupp 8cm C/1867 and C/1864/67 plus the export variant to the Ottoman Empire and Romania. I have attached photos of two 8cm tubes with 1868 dates that appear to be very similar to the standard Prussian 8cm C/67, however, there are differenc...
So I have been working on this project for a couple of months, I just wanted to post some project photos so far. I started this project because I have always been interested in how a WW1 tank functioned and operated.
Years ago i bought an issue of "le Miroir" showing a very strange american tank... I was very happy to find a ref on Tank encyclopedia and a booklet about this vehicle presented on landship I immediately bought: https://landships...
I have restarted work on my Emhar kits (see previous thread) and added another one to build at the same time. My idea is to make a base with 2 tanks, most probably 505 "Baden I" and 507 "Cyklop" for which decals are provided on the kit and there's no great deal of modifications to be done. Here's so far wha...
A Minerva, one of the four captured by the Germans and pressed into service by them, being worked on. As is usual with these things one person is doing the work while others look on and no doubt give advice. -- Edited by fidgeh on Sunday 26th of May 2024 11:30:26 AM-- Edited by fidgeh on Sunday 26th of...
Hello guys, long time since I have posted. As I continue with my WW1 Landship research project, I have been stumped on a few things regarding the reparability of the Mk.IV and other tank models. Looking at the Mk.I - Mk.IV, I have seen photos where the engine cover would be sitting outside while a crewma...
Hello Does anybody know of a kit for a 1/35 tank engine of the WW1 era? Preferably a Daimler Knight, but some sort of generic example would do. Alternatively I have a 3d resin printer, are there any .stl or .obj files out there that can be utilised? Any information would be much appreciated.
Hi all I just started working on the Roden Holt 75 artillery tractor It's a short run kit, and every single piece should be cleaned up, detailed or replaced😅 I didn't went so deep in that, on the other hand I tried to make it better, at least a bit, starting from the engine.
A quote from Winston Churchill, giving evidence at, I think, Bede Bentley's 1925 claim for having invented the tank. I was sure I'd made a note of this, but I can't find it now. Churchill was asked if anyone else could claim to have invented the tank. Churchill's reply was something like: "I think Mr. H....
Hello, Here's one of my latest work in progress and as the title says it all, it is the massive MkVIII 1919 heavy tank. My model is in the large 1/16 scale and is full scratch except for the ball mg mounts that are in 3D. It is now ready for the final paint jobs after I added the unit insignia. All the building d...
Hello lads, i recently found out about the "Models" page on landships.info, and i just had to try it. I actually wanted to do the St. Chamond first, but as the title of the post suggests, i have never done any modelling in my life and the St. Chamond just looked too hard to put together so i picked the A7V Now...
Hi all, This is my first post in this forum. Sorry for my bad english. Could someone help me to identify these heavy guns? Images from Ebay. The first photo: According to photocaption it is a 28cm coastal howitzer on the Belgian coast, but what model?? The second photo: I guess it's some sort of heavy art...
This is the link for the recent restoration of the German 10,5cm lFH 1898/09 in the collection. I am still missing the firing pin/bolt carrier so it is not firing yet but aside from that everything including elevation, traverse, spade, sliding wedge breech and brakes are back in a functional state....
I have just added the English translation of Bruchmuller's work "Die Artillerie bieim Angriff im Stellungskreig" to the Research and Resources page of Lovett Artillery. I hope you enjoy this. Artillery_in_the_Offensive_GB.pdf (lovettartillery.com) -- Edited by Ralph Lovett on Thursday...
Do we know about this? Opened four years ago this month, and rather spectacular. The Great War not neglected. This is the Museum's very swish website: https://rtm.jo/ However, Tripadvisor shows 129 photos of the building and the vehicles, including 2 WWI replicas: https://www.tripadvisor.co....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCqav31U72s&t=113sThe story is simplified a bit for our audience. The reaction has been quite staggering as it has a...
I'm working with a very talented modeller on a couple of articles on Thresh steam disinfectors mounted on the back of Foden Steam trucks to treat uniforms and bedding of troops to kill lice and fleas. WW1 was the first major war in which deaths from disease were lower than combat casualties due to adva...
Does anyone know what has happened to Barry? I had details of a book about the railways in the Palestinian Campaign, where his father served on the light railways, that may have interested him. I knew he was closing up the business, but he seems to have disappeared? Regards, Chris
