A chap we know is restoring a second Napier B74 lorry rather like this one. This second lorry is believed to have been destined for Russia but was never delivered due to the revolution when the order was cancelled. While examining the remaining paint it appears that the first coat was matt black. Can a...
There was a doco on TV last night about V.E. Day, 1945. A very brief glimpse could be seen of two beute Renault FTs on a high street in Jersey or Guernsey. Can't find the pic on t'Internet. Anyone seen it?
The Albert County Museum in Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick, Canada is in the process of restoring (not to firing condition but to display condition) a WW1 German k14 105mm Cannon which was captured at Vimy Ridge, April 9, 1917. You can read all about the gun and our restoration project on our website ht...
On the attached pic of the "Duck", there appears to be large plates attached to the tracks - does anybody have any details on what these were, how many of them, and were there other things attached to aid propulsion? Tony
Should be available imminently from the look of things, now has a webpage on the Roden website. Glad to see it includes transfers for a British Army vehicle: http://www.roden.eu/HTML/733.htm
Yes, modelling, I suppose. Mr. Stephen van Dulken, formerly of the British Library, has compiled a very pleasant list of patent applications relating to toy First World War tanks - the earliest: November 1916, by a Pte. Duncan Rice of Canadian Army Medical Corps. At the time of his application he was...
This topic has a long history and gets very convoluted, but I think that we have arrived at the bottom of it. Bear with me. Our story begins ten years ago, with Vilkata's inquiry about this badge/pin, supposedly the first worn by the U.S. Tank Corps: As Roger Todd pointed out, it bears little resemblan...
This turned up the other day in some archive material a friend was checking for me for some other stuff and there were no details, names, dates, locations, or places etc to go with it. I'm no expert on the matter so I'll just post the image and see what the experts make of it. Looks like some kind of steam pow...
Hey I am wondering how the extractor inside the screw breech of the french field cannon operates. 1) The shell is inserted, 2) the breech chamber closed by rotating the breech block, 3) the firing hammer triggers the fuze, 4) the shell gets fired 5) the breech block is rotated back so the chamber is ope...
This is from an article written by the distinguished Colonel Robert J. Icks, Ret'd. It appeared in a journal called AFV-G2 Magazine, in 1975. The article was actually about how steam power can be used with tanks, but he begins with several paragraphs on the origins and early use of tanks in general, th...
Bought this book today - hardback, english, mint condition inc. map & map pocket - for £5 up the local chazza. I had no idea at the time, but have found some web comments about it being a 'holy grail', and a glowing review by David Fletcher. Almost didn't, but it struck me that with 2 Takom kits in the st...
Disregard this post. All was revealed three years ago. I'd just forgotten. I would offer, by way of mitigation, this possible scratchbuilding project from the same site. Plus some other nice tractors, tracks, and trucks, some French and German, included. http://www.stilltimecollection.co...
Greetings friends ¡¡¡ A new project on the scale 1/72 Austin MK III Brand Master Box. Will put barbed wire and a figure The idea is to represent a vehicle of the Freikorps I am surprised that the guidelines represent this vehicle yellow kaky ....... ............ I thought they were blue-gray... I a...
Came across this. No indication of the name of the publication. The top one is the device sometimes called "Horseless Artillery." One possible origin of the Best photo is the mock battle referred to in Jack Alexander's book.
Hi guys! Take a look at some pics of my latest/greatest work. Most of it was scratchbuild. In my modest opinion mine howitzers are better than those from StreletsR. To build them (finally from resin) I gathered 100 photos!. Cheers KAmil -- Edited by Kamil on Wednesday 12th of August 2015 11:31:55 PM
