Stumbled into this looking for something else which I thought may be of interest. It's the War Diary of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry 1914-1919 as a pdf which means you can ctrl-F to search for key words or download it which is very helpful. link http://laughton.ca/mirror/military/...
Just finished this - a new Wayne McCullough design - not available yet - still getting the last bugs out of the model. Wayne's model is 1/48 I rescaled it to 1/50 so it will fit in my Gun Carrier. Regards, Charlie
To understand the rationale behind this thread, it is worth reading through my 'Building the Mk1 Tank' thread.? I would like to thank MK1 Nut for her inspirational drawings, my own limited resources and the help from all the other members of this community for being able to put this together.? If you h...
I am sure I have seen a long table with all of the known British WW1 tank, names, index numbers, and even commanders etc. listed somewhere but for the life of me cannot locate it now. Was trying to find it to look up the known names and outcomes for the Whippet tanks in particular. I'd like eventually to see...
Confession time!? I find it very difficult to distinguish Mark III Males from Mark IV Males. What are the identifying points to look for, apart from the serial numbers?
This is more to do with the Berlin 1945 Mk Vs, but can anyone i.d. the gun in this picture? It might help to dispel the nonsense about the tanks having taken part in the fighting. Many thanks.
Can anyone help me or tell me where I can find the names of some of the A company tanks at Ancre 1916 . As Im working on a painting of A17 , one of the tanks that features in the?Battle Of Ancre?Film. I know that they were named after shows and songs like H M L S We're All In It?. Thanks
Something that crossed my mind while I was attempting to explain to a pillock on Wikipedia that the "Short" Hotchkiss was manufactured in Coventry, not Enfield: The Mk V*s that were delivered to the French - what machine guns did they carry? I can't consult chars-francais.net because the site is dow...
I have a few pictures from Duxford. It's a great museum, yet their Landwarfare Hall is a photographer nightmare! As a result I don't have that many shots of that area and I've missed quite a few interesting artillery pieces. 6 inch 30 cwt howitzer 7.5 cm GebirgsKanone L/17 M08 Only 12 of these guns were b...

HelloFinally I managed to finish my research on "Hedi". I have examined closely all the sexteen (!) pics that are known up to this day. Now the result of this long-lasting work is available in form of the most accurate 3-view drawings in 1/35 Scale. [URL=http://s240.photobucket.com/user/Peter_...
This is my latest project, a Putilov-Garford armored car in 1920 Polish markings. I had the older Armo resin kit, but I shelved it due to turret issues. Some original plans from the Putilov plant appeared on Facebook this past year, which made it clear that there were dimensional issues on the resin ki...

No one has done it yet, so I will. A very merry Christmas to all who contribute to and/or learn from the Forum. It's a pity that the world doesn't seem to learn anything. A probably forlorn wish for peace in 2017. J
Good day Landship members. Could the policeman in this picture be placed in a 1919/1919 scene? I have noticed on pictures that the number of buttons on the coat changed over the years. Are there any other things I have to change to fit him in a scene from justa after the great war? Hope to hear from you, bes...
Finally - the manual for the 194 GPF SPG has turned up on Gallica. http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k9612676c Lots of detailed drawings of the recoil and projectile charging systems. There may be manuals for the 280mm howitzer version and the tractor but the search engine hasn't disgorg...
Hi,I have just received the above,an excellent kit. On the box label it has 1:72nd scale but on examining the sprues I have come to the conclusion it is nearer 1:76th scale. I took another look at their FWD kit and realised that to is nearer 1:76th. Has any one else noticed this or do I need new glasses??
