Hello Gentleman I am in search of photo's of the Improvised artillery RNAS ect., used, often seen towed by Rolls Royce Armored Cars, especially the 3 pounder Hotchkiss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Picture attached) All the Best Tim R. -- Edited by Tim R on Friday 28th of December 2018 09:...
Takom kit. Inspired by, but not directly copied from, the photo behind. It seems to have been through muddy water or watery mud rather than thick mud. I liked the fuel cans and other stowage all over the roof, and chose various period colours for the different fuel brands as well as some khaki ones.
Good day all, I am Owen Mulrooney, 73 year old male from Wilderness, Western Cape, South Africa. I recently suddenly became interested in WW1 armoured cars. I recently built a 1905 Fowler b Armoured tractor as used in the SA Boer War. I think this got the idea going and am now busy with the Holt Steam Whe...
Folks, I am at the point of needing to build one way or another on my current Mk.I Supply project and could easily go with Dodo, as it is well known and relatively well photographed. However, I am curious about '746', being as it seems rather less 'famous'. Apparently, the only differences are the marki...
Yes, the former was decades after the latter. But when I looked up the Franco-Prussian War, the references said that France was regionally divided in their attitudes toward the war. Eastern France and Paris were the ones invaded, of course, but the southern and western regions of France had littl...
Maybe this was asked before, but I remember reading about a German super-big gun that could reach Paris from a very long way away and supposedly was destroyed before it was ever found. Was this really just a legend after all, like the Bermuda Triangle?
I would like to make an apology on my behalf in regards to Vargas Scale Models, It has come to light that Luis did indeed recast some items from Model Cellar with out consent, I can not speak anymore about that, but for my part in this madness I am sorry, I do not condone selling recast models, I had no idea th...
GentlemanI have a question for you, Luis from Vargas Models and I are trying to figure out what type of bases i.e trenches, bunkers, pillboxes etc one may wish to have as a kit. He designs and produces mortars of the Great War as you know, but actually his specialty is in building bases for models. You...
Good day! I like to share two new 1/72 models I have made. Heavy tank Mk IX in the normal "Pig" version as well as the amphibious "Duck" For the pig I need to find a correct chain to hold the unditching beam, the Duck needs a lot more dirt and mud but I am afraid I will overdo it that is why I took the pictures to...
I came across these two images at the US National Archives in one of the US Army Ordnance Bureau files. The caption identifies the cannon as a 6-Pdr Tank Gun Model 1920. Does anyone have more information about it? Regards, Marc
Hi, I'm looking for an article on upgrading the 1/35 18 pdr kit from Emhar ? Does anyone know where I can find it , I'm not even sure which web-site its on Any help much appreciated Paul
Hi all, some weeks ago I got a MasterBox Mark I Male for a good price and decided to build it immediately. The building process was fast but I did some modifications, mostly based on Helen's plans and renders here on the board. First I opened the mud holes between the rear horns and improvised the wheel...

On 21st October, 1916, orders were given for trials of a 6-inch mortar, the design of which had been developed in France by Lt.-Col. H. Newton. Towards th...
Completing my trio of MkIVs. Fascine Carrier fresh off the train at the railhead before Cambrai. I.51 was one of the tanks on that train. No visible name or serial. I wanted a genuine identifiable fascine carrier, and finding one was harder then you might think. I could only positively ID 2 from ph...
Hi Guys and Gal, I have often wondered if the results of Small Arms strikes on armour should be modelled in 1/35 scale ? What are your thoughts on this matter. Paul
I have the CSM Lanchester and was interested in the "Persia" option. I assume, perhaps wrongly, that we mean Dunsterforce here. As far as I can ascertain, Dunsterforce only had a couple of RR a/c's and several hundred Ford Ts and various trucks including at least some of the Australian LCP. 500 Ford...

ICM have announced a 1/35 1914 Paris taxi, as used to ferry troops forward to stop the German advance at the River Marne. Now all we need is some enterprising figure company to do a driver and some Poilus crammed in the back. I am perhaps surprised that ICM didn't launch a set too: it's the passengers th...
Any help much appreciated Paul
