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...

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
The last three clips on this film. a) The prototype tank, 'Little Willie', (manufactured by William Foster and Company, Lincoln, Lincolnshire in 1915) at the Royal Armoured Corps Centre, Bovington, Dorset, with commentary.There was no commentary that I could detect. It's a very short film of a ma...
Does anyone have any information/images on how the sponson trailers used for the Mk I and Mk II Tanks were moved by rail? Would they have been on flat wagons like the Tanks, or possibly put in covered vehicles? Cheers, Rob
I'm modeling the Hobby Boss Schneider CA (late version). I would like to model tank #61024 (attached pic). The kit has most of the decals for this tank. Can anyone help me identify the markings on the barrel and just above it? Salad oil? Thanks a lot. -- Edited by moultonlaw on Wednesday 5th of Aug...
This is an absolute gem. "Briefly Famous: The 1917 Caterpillar G9 Tank" by Jack Alexander. Paperback, A4 or thereabouts, 53 pages. The main, and best, part of this excellent book is about American reaction to news of the first British tanks and the various machines that were constructed...
New figure sets now out.All part of an expanding range for the Middle East,Egypt,Palestine,Mesapotamia and Gallipoli. Hope you like them. All 1:76 scale.
Can anyone help me with this? I thought I knew a little about the component parts of WW1 artillery pieces but can anyone enlighten me as to the function of this part of the sFH/02? (the pivoting strut with the holes next to the breech). Thanks
On my monthly search through the online section of the Imperial War Museum's Archives, I noticed something wrongly titled. They have what they call a MKIV with an experimental hydraulic transmission... and it is clearly a MKII or III. Is this just their mistake or is it a commonly mis-captioned phot...
Some books on horse drawn transport: Discovering Horse drawn transport of the British Army by D.J. Smith There is I believe a Schiffer book that deal with German Horse drawn transport.
These two old-timers where photographed outside Kabul in Afghanistan at CampWarehouse a while ago. ?The car I think is a Lancia IZM 1917, and the halftrack a French Citroen P4.
I read that the Tamiya Mark IV Male tank is actually more accurate and easier to build than Takom's, according to the reviews I've read. Does anyone agree or disagree?
I have been working on a WW1 tank cart for the carnivals based on the mark 1 design to mark the British invention of the tank. It has 3 speakers that will play engine sounds, 6 pounders gun sounds and vickers mg sounds. 300 lights and track moving light effects. Here are some photos of the progress so far. P...
In an old thread, Centurion mentioned that the March 1971 issue of Military Modelling magazine had an article on the Medium D tanks, including plans; I have just obtained a copy of this issue, which is quite intriguing. I was eager to see the plans, but having done so I see a number of features which seem...
If anyone hasn't spotted them yet, two WWI sets have been announced. Waterloo1815 are working on a set of Italian Alpini, and Strelets have announced a "Lawrence of Arabia" set for next year. Mind you, I think we're approaching the 10th anniversary of the promise of Strelets' Honved Cava...
I've had a request from Landships II about the colour of RR armoured cars in India in the 1920s. Black and white images seem to indicate a fairly pale colour. Anyone know? Regards, Charlie
