(Excuse me for english) Recently beside us appeared such information: Active workers " Societies of friends the Lincoln-tank " have declared intention to restore the tanks which are being Lugansk. And even are ready to find for this means. According to the most conservative estimates...
Below is a photo from the Imperial War Museum. The description seems to infer that the tank was disabled due to a gas attack on the 24th August at the Croisilles Crossroads. The Landships website seems to be uncertain if this tank is indeed abandoned? Does anyone have anymore information about the tan...

Ok, not strictly a WW1 model, but could certainly represent a typical 1914 - 18 road somewhere in France.Had this piece in my stash for what seems like ages and decided to throw some paint at it. Originally mastered by Frerik Noordhuis, it's available through a US based company called Celticwerks Cas...
Now this is interesting. In WW1 the Germans did not know what to call the tank. (Mark II Male tank with spuds/spades on the tracks to improve grip). Is the identity of this captured tank known? There seems to be a lot of photographs of it on the internet. on the right side is number 799. - Cancel I have just...

Apologies if this has been posted before but here's an HD video transfer of archive footage of US Army forces with a pair of captured Big Berthas at the end of the Great War. It's on the Critical Past label and thus is watermarked, but the watermark is not as obtrusive as one might fear. Un-watermarked vi...
On my last project I started converting a Takom Mk I into a Mk II. I will reproduce a Female tank (most probably the well known THE PERFECT LADY). Decals will come from set #35008 of ddecal.ru.com owened by Alpha Six As well discussed in another thread Takom Mk I is a good start kit but its drive cab is too na...
Image reference CC-BY-SA-4.0 https://lib.ugent.be/catalog/rug01%3A001831593 There's no other information or date with it but I couldn't help but notice the unusual camouflage over the sides. I can't see any Id numbers but was hoping perhaps she could be identified by the damage or camo. I...
Staff at Bovington are looking for photos of War Bond tank Egbert Mark IV Male 141 surrounded by people both male and female. Do you have any? Also, can you clear up a problem? On this page, it shows a tank number 142 not 141 at Eastbourne called Egbert??? http://hovehistory.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/...
I recently got the book by ILL "Military transport of WW I" by Chris Ellis besides WW I transport it deals with pre WW I and post WW I vehicles. it has color profiles and some FWD conversion pictures. It dates from 1971 is still usefull.
Would anyone know what the colour of a 75mm Turkish field gun used in WW1 at the battle of Beershebah 1917 would have been.. our R.S.L. is wanting to restore one and would seriously like it to be as authentic a restoration as possible. I have attached a photo of this gun taken after it was restored from a...
Several Mark IV tanks (4616, 4624, 4629, 4630, 4633, 4634, 4636, 4639, 4642, 4646) were sent to America 5th November 1918 from Newbury to serve as training vehicles of the US Army Tank Corps. 4633 is under restoration at Fort Benning. Do you have photos of any of the others (not 4633)? This screen captu...
Just stumbled upon this. I don't know why I had overseen it. It's accessible to everyone in the Bundesarchiv Berlin. So, overall we have 17 pictures of that beast
