Just wondering how many modellers would go for larger scale models like 1:16. I my self usually like 1:35 but as I get older the larger scale models like the 1:16 Takom FT tanks are a joy to work on and I wish they would make the Mk 1 -5 series of British tank including other WW 1 models. The last straw that fin...

Question...

Good day to you all! I am thinking about making a Mark V*. Base for this model will be a Takom Mark V. Now i am looking for more info and above all a scale drawing. I have only found the attached file. The sides of the tank can be done by looking at photos from the Mark V* but i am not sure how the top of the tank loo...
Hi all I'm currently building the Whippet by Meng, and here is where I'm so far Since I'm not so used to WWI tanks, I need some help from the experts of Landships.

Captioned as being at Southampton. Captioned as being withdrawn from Fins after the battle of Cambrai. Captioned as Mk IV Female Tank loading, France.Captioned as A train of reinforced GWR Macaw wagons conveying tanks at an unknown location.
Landships II appears to be down - I can't get a connection even using the IP address of the server. No idea what the problem is or how long it will take to resolve.

I am trying to research the truth behind the rumour that WO Bentley was involved with Daimlers and was responsible for an increase of 25% in the power of the initial 105hp Daimler Sleeve Valve Tank engine. Does anyone have hard evidence he was involved and any idea as to what modifications he suggested...

Thought I'd share a picture of my 1:1 scale Renault FT. Its built from a scaled up 1:35 RPM Renault along with some measurements from a US version M1917. Its made of wood and steel so its a model and not a real one. Its powered by a Honda 13 HP motor and uses zero turn mower hydro transmissions. Works pre...

I thought the Takom St Chamond was 'challenging', OK, fussy and frustrating, but the Mark IV (female) build I'm currently doing is an act of masochism, pointlessly complex, not close to 'builder friendly'. (Rant off)
