?Hello Gentlemen? I have found an interesting article on converting the AIRFIX Old Bill Bus into a Pigeon Bus. The article is entitled (Pigeonnier Militaire) Pigeon Soldier, and it is in French.But I figured it would be interesting anyway. Maybe some one can translate it.Anyway Good Luck if any one...
Here's another railway gun artwork. To be honest I'm not entirely sure exactly which piece of equipment it is. The French guns seem to have used common carriages with only detail differences between weapons. On top of that, the captions in the book I got the line art from, "Rail Gun" by Batchelor/Hogg...
My latest artwork project is the US 14 inch Model E railway gun and while I've found a lot of good reference to develop the plan view I have no idea what color the actual weapon might have been. All the black and white photos show her without camouflage but apart from that I'm at a loss. Any suggestions woul...
In WW1, many US Army units were issued with French limbers, caissons, and Fourgon wagons in place of the US M1918 Limbers and Caisson and Escort Wagons. The text from the 113th Field Artillery unit history tells this story on page 51:http://www.lovettartillery.com/US_WW1_1 ... pment.html I have...
Good Day I am looking for any information in regards to the Tank Supply Roller built by Ruston and Proctor, i.e., photo's drawing and technical information, Height, Width etc.. Many thanks in advance.
There is a new book I found on the Great war forum "British and Dominion Formation and Unit Vehicle signs 1914-1918by Rox Dux and Mike Hibberd on British ect vehicle signs of WW I. It just come out.
I've recently completed the construction phase of the Masterbox Mark II female. I had to make a few changes.Changed the round track tensioner ends to square with flattened solder.Replaced the rubber band kit tracks with W^D resin ones. The grousers are from JK ResinReplaced the Lewis guns and sh...
I have today received my MB Mk II (Male). Oh dear! A cursory glance revealed rounded top track tensioners instead of squared ends, so the sides are the MK 1 moulding. (in fact the sprue is marked 72001 as per the Mk1's). The moulding sprue for the gun sponsons is that from the Mk1 but cut from the remain...
The EU regime has proposed a new copyright regime which would require any website hosted within the EU to validate the copyright status of each piece of information uploaded to the website. There is also some sort of link tax but I don't know how that would work. Although this is clearly aimed at the in...
Hi! After a Medium markI and a markII, I completed the third Hobby Boss model, the MarkII**. The kit is rather good as far I know and only needs few improvements. My first idea was to fit it with asbestos plates but I eventually only add the typical rear air intake. The purpose was to depict the strange sil...
Hello guys this is my first topic in modelling page modelling with Solidworks program and printed with 3D printer it's not the good quality that I expected but....whatever i also made SMK tank but it's fail since the material being contract and crack
OK, don't get too excited, as it's a model. Tucked away near the Mk VIII at Bov. Produced by the North British Locomotive Company & still in its original paint. However, the card describing it, does say that it may very well have been painted with the same paint that was used to paint the tanks that th...
What is the history behind this MkIV Female tank? It has unusual striking camouflage. It does not have unditiching rails or allied identification white red white markings on the front horns. This would date the photograph to pre Cambrai or post war. Can anyone identify the tank? Are those search l...
I’ve seen a few references to some MkIs at the front still being in grey with the Cyrillic inscriptions. Are there any photos showing these? -- Edited by Davef68 on Tuesday 21st of August 2018 12:54:01 AM
Hi All, Got this new cabinet from Ikea and it doesn't seem to have gone together right... it's ended up looking strangely familiar!? Yeah I've been busy. ;) 3D printing Helen x ? ?
Hi everybody, I just wanted to show you what a customer of ours brought to our place the other day: A German Zeppelin Bomb, probably from 1910-15 Any experts on Zeppelin bombs here by any chance?
Hello to all, after visiting this forum anonymously from time to time, I just registered, because this, i think, is the most probable place to have my questions answered. Two of my Grandgrandfathers died on the western front in 1915/17 and since 2009 - my first trip to Belgium - I have developed an ever...
Just released. An earlier version of the Ford T ambulance. A British version would be nice (are you listening, ICM?) And a Standard B LIberty truck. May there be many more like this. Please.....
I'm wondering if only AWS & Potz &Sand made ammunition for the 20mm Becker Cannon? I've been looking for a HE round and I'm wondering if they made only 3; the HE, Incendiary and Armor piercing bullet? Cheers Dickster
A pic of a fowler B5 Armored tractor I built about a year ago. It is a model from Jacek Bernas (J B Models) It is rated as a simple build but for someone just starting in card modeling it still had it's problems but I think the finished article is ok. There are apparently trailers to go with the model, does any...
Hi New to the Forum and hop you Can Help. I'am Currently building the Takom Mk.I Male and would Like to Know where the Attachment Points are For the Sponson Crane Supports. If there is a Drowing showing their location it would be wonderful. I'am not even sure the Takom Supports are Correct. Hope...
Made an unexpected visit to Bovington at the weekend. Will send some reports shortly. It's changed a bit since I was last there, and the layout has been altered. You have to leave the WWI hall by a different route, and can't get to where the A7V was last time. One of the guides told me it's being kept in the c...

It will sell for about $50 Australian. This is being released to coincide with the 100 year anniversary of the tank's ca...
I saw a reference to the barrel of the 220mm L Mle 1917 Schneider gun being treated with autofrettage in GBM and wondered how many other WW1 artillery pieces had their barrels made from steel tube which had been autofrettaged - anyone know? For the uninitiated autofrettage is a process where a steel t...
