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...

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...
An interesting photo I wanted to share with you. Unfortunately still not available yet in a bigger scale (1/35)! Picture was taken at Innichen (Bozen, Italy) in front of th...
Hello to all! While not strictly vehicle related, I still have a question maybe of interest to the forum regarding the Battle of the Somme: Behind the front line the Germany had a vast circular underground fortification near Thiepval which was created by General Franz von Soden. This helped many Ger...
I recently came into possession of these images. There is no information with them as to a location or date other than a hunch they are in the UK somewhere. Its hard to read on the image with the resolution of the camera but by eye, the vehicle number seems to be 9569. Any information appreciated.
The Takom kit with various after-market items. Dry mud and dust rather than muddy mud. I believe that Gofasta was A347, but I'm sure someone will tell me otherwise! I couldn't see the number in any photo showing the name that I could find. The name is stenciled from a DN Models mask set which also conta...
Haven't seen these barrel (MAN) or carriage (O&KD) markings elsewhere, these appearing on Rockhampton's gun Nr.14934. Anyone able to identify these manufacturers? Thanks Mark ?
I've had an email from a guy who has tried to create a Landships login but the system says his membership is pending but no further action has occurred. Is there anyone left with admin privileges to unscramble this? PM me and I'll provide details. Regards, Charlie

I'd like to make some decals of vehicle numbers for British vehicles in WW1. I know the size (4 or 6 inches), but not the font. Could someone help me out here and give me the name(s) of word processor or Photoshop fonts that are representative of these markings? Thanks . . . Bosun Al
