These are just a few photos of the Foot and Field Artillery collection taken over the holidays. I am moving the German and French Field Artillery to a new building and that opened up the German Foot Artillery collection for the first time in years, so I took a few photos. For much more see the web site: ...

In Stern's book manuscript he talks about Torpedo Spuds, Unditching Beams and rails then he states that there was a LATER development called the Skew-log Device. Does anyone have photos of this? Skew-Log DeviceA later development of the Unditching Beam was known as the "Skew-Log" unditching Gea...
Having just ordered the mother-lode of supplies to go on top of 'Dodo', I now have a puzzling question - 'How was it tied down?' This is puzzling me on several counts, as follows - i/ I am not aware of any hooks or other tie-downs on top of Supply Tanks. ii/ Most of the stowage is very haphazardly / loosely pi...
MMK are working on a Tatra TL-4 4-tonne truck in 1/35. From the little I can discover, this truck was used by the Austro-Hungarian and potentially also German armies in WW1.
What was the small cylinder used for inside the fighting compartment of the Mediem A Whippet? The pipes that went down to the engine compartment are missing on the Bovington Whippet inside which this photograph was taken.

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 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...
