HI, Just thought I would say hello, like quite a few modellers I am starting to build some of the 1:35 ww1 kits now available, beginning with the TAKOM mkiv male - AAAARRRGGHH! what a pain!! caused mainly by the CAD instruction's not showing how parts appear when fitted-perhaps they (TAKOM) should l...
A mention was made in another thread about MK1 tanks and track grousers, rather than add to that thread I thought I would post this here. Now strictly speaking Grousers were not used until the MKIIs and if anyone had told me they were fitted to the MK1 tanks, I would have disagreed with them. Only thing is...
Can anyone help with some info please :) There are a couple of photos of tank 261 on the web (copies attached) which show the general design of the tower mounted on the tank, but I can't find any detail on the top where I assume the airship or it's mooring line would be attached to. Can anyone help on this? In...
Building and really enjoying Takom's Mk I female, which in my opinion is an excellent kit, i've noticed an oddity regarding the MG armour covers and I haven't been successful in finding any pics or info so I try this great forum. For some reason Takom have moulded the MG covers hollow on the underside wi...
Hi, I currently have a 1:72 scale model of the Hindenburg, I found reference to a model of this size in an ancient post on this forum.
If still active does anyone have any ideas where I may find people interested in buying it. Currently listed on eBay but being a very niche item I'm trying to list it where e...
While building Takom's mk 1 female I noticed that the armour covers for the mg's for some reason are hollowed on the underside. Unable to find any pics showing that part I was hoping anyone here have any info about that part. Should it be hollow like it is moulded and therefor needing to add the lower part...
Has anyone seen, or knows of, drawings of the US Tracked Steam tank? This was built in Boston in 1917-18 using Stanley steam technology by the US Army Corps of Engineers. It looked something like an obese version of a British rhomboid tank. Regards, Charlie

Been building WWI models since I first found the Airfix Mark I in the late 1950's. Recently finished the Schneider and St. Chamond (photos attached) in 1/35 and posted photos on Track Link. Will be using this site much more due to its focus on what I'm interested in. Just received the Takom Mark I Fem...

Hello everyone! This is my first post on Landships, but I read forum from time to time during couple months. Well, about subject. I have seen this image some time ago and found it interesting. Then I started to search another photos of that gun. And finally found it. Here it is — http://www.panoramio.c...
Hi mates. I´d like to build a Mark Iv with interior. I have the old Ehmar kit and I know it´s going to be a lot of work. As a new member of the site I first asked some advice to Rectalgia, and he told me to look for your help in this section. I seek infos first of all on the interior of the tank ( pics, links..), but o...
Some members of the forum asked me about the Takom St Chamond suspension improvements I made with some 3D printed parts showed in another thread. Takom make spring suspension solid. They work well for a OOTB model but they are no good for a mediun to high quality model. In this therad I would like to show...
One of the things I find tricky with 1:35 scale ww1 tanks is getting decals to form nicely over rivets, especially when you have several rivets close together. Any suggestions other than the usual softeners which really dont seem to do a lot.
Over the Christmas holiday, I set up the M1904 Saddles, M1916 Harnessing, with the French 75mm mle/1897 and its US Limber for photos.There are a few breechings missing from this series of photos and the Limber is really the US M1918 Caisson Limber not the US Gun Limber M1918 and well, I am missing si...
Santa got me the Haynes owners manual for the MK IV, good Santa :) Theres one photo in there of a tank being unloaded from its rail transport. Basically 4 big jacks lifting the tank up so that the wagon can be moved away from under it. Would make a great diorama but I can't find any good pics of the jacks. Any s...
The postal system actually worked properly and delivered the attached... A 1/25 Lebedenko cardmodel tank should be ok until you get to the wheels. As far as I can tell the first thing to build is the jig to assemble the wheels. The model should be 712mm (L) x 480mm (W) x 360mm (H) Regards, Charlie
A small production run of the American M1917 is being reproduced in southern Indiana, the first one off the assembly line will be delivered to the Indiana Military Museum, 4 more to soon follow. These will be up for grabs to museums with the right credentials, private ownership is a available, as wel...
I am looking for a line diagram of a Mark I male tank which could be used for posters, and possibly flags, for the centenary of the first tanks at Flers in September 2016. Helen (Mark 1 nut) plans are superbly detailed but are too complex for our needs. We are thinking of a more simple design which will be e...
Hello Gents, On 23th August 1918 in the morning two tanks were attacked and damaged (not destroyed, because it was only MG fire) by German airplanes east of Proyard. Which unit could these tanks belong to, what type they were and are their numbers and crews losses possible to identify? Cheers, Alber...
