Landships II has been trundling along without any changes to the underlying code base for years now. I think it's time to think about how the website could be upgraded. There are a couple of things I'd like to do - these are: 1. Split the mortar articles from the artillery section and put it in its own sec...
I know ---------> The second Public Warning for "Ft 17" I know that it is not a FT17 but as I visited my local tankmuseum (the NMM in Holland) i saw this ..... So the name is so common that even a museum uses it? Just a few pictures of this tank attached.Best regards,Willem
Mephisto is back at the Workshops Railway Museum at Ipswich until the new exhibit space at the Queensland Museum is ready. Being one of those Queensland residents who lamented the lack of care the Queensland Museum showed in preserving Mephisto over seventy years, culminating in the flooding of...
Just finished this tonight. Takom's rendition of the Tadpole. Added better nut detail to the suspension, rebuilt the stowage bin from scratch to make it more to scale (thin sheet metal rather than sthink steel plate!). I also totally rebuilt the exhaust system from brass tube. Painted in Tamiya XF8...
In addition to Gary's great Whippet Mk.A 'Freikorps' model in this thread http://landships.activeboard.com/t63600386/whippet-mka-freikorps/I also wanted to give a brief overview over the locations in January 1919 and today ... [URL=http://s240.photobucket.com/user/Peter_T1958/me...
I recently finished the WD Models Clayton Shuttleworth Tractor. This is another fine kit from them. The only bit of detail I did was add the control linkages and replaced the rivets on the track units. Thanks, Rob
I believe these anti-balloon flak wagons were used in Cambrai to stop advancing British Tanks. Photo caption - A German Kraftwagengeschütz in a repair shop, possibly post WW1. Presumably, a 7.7 cm anti-balloon cannon, perhaps or a 7.62 cm cannon (flak). The name "KRAFTW" on the bonnet. Business. K...
(For those who don't read Landships II) the Schneider CD was a heavy artillery tractor built using the chassis of the Schneider CA1 tank. 400 of these tractors were ordered but only 110 were delivered before the Armistice. Deliveries to the French Army stopped after the 200th vehicle and a further...
Hello together, i need yout help, please. My name is Alex, i´m from Bavaria / Germany. elbavaro told me that you could possibly identify the following model that i bought yesterday at a flea market. Maybe it is just "mortar-style", may be it has a real model. It is definitely old, a real good handwork. I...
Wanting to paint a Mk.IV Tadpole in its factory colour of battleship grey. Is there any info as to which shade of grey this would be? Would like to assume it would be standard RN grey of that period?
Gary
Took me about 18 months to complete as we moved house half way through the build. Pretty much out of teh box build aside from turned brass muzzles and additional cooling hoses for the Maxim MGs... ...
I have been told this is a Schneider CA 15 cm M1917 SPG prototype. Is this wrong. I am having difficulty finding more information on this SPG. I could not find it on the Landships II site
Hello I understood that the firsts MK I had the front wheel with teeth as the drive sproket It seems that it was not the case for Gaza's tanks. For " we are all in it " : teeth or no teeth ? If somebody can help . thanks in advance Best regards Olivier
At long last I can present to you my plans of a MK1 Tank. I have split the plans into ten panels and will be adding to them as time allows me to finish the female sponsons and tail wheel mechanism. The plans are as accurate as I can achieve at this moment in time, but I see them as a living thing and will be making...
Hi Found this site recently and have just signed up. I'm an armour modeller and I build just about anything in 1/35 scale. Currently going through a phase of a few WW1 vehicles. Lots of info on this site which is proving useful for future builds. Gary
(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...
