In the next lot of W^D figure sets are Middle East figures.These will be suitable for Gallipoli,Egypt,Palestine and Mesapotamia. These are W^D 54,relaxed poses,I thought they would be ideal for the Gazza tank. What do you think??

Citizens: I've just been reading the?thread on the CA2 & 3, and I think I've made a horrible discovery. There is a film made in Germany in 1930 called Westfront 1918 - a grimmer version of All Quiet.?Two excerpts are on Youtube. At the very end of Part One, two tanks appear, supporting an Allied atta...
Apologies if this is outside the scope of the forum: my excuse is it may have some cross over interest for 1919 onwards. I have discovered Beamish Museum are holding two large photo albums from Vickers titled tank development by Vickers Armstrong Ltd and which seem mainly to cover the period 1919-1...
You will be interested to learn that the article on the A7V on French Wikipedia explains carefully that the Polish Army received five A7Vs after the Great War. Or at least it did until a few minutes ago. It also explains that it is a direct translation of the German article. In fact, the German article do...

Finally coming to the end of this project but hit a snag- the chain drives are brittle and broke while I installed the track sponsons. Ah the joys of modelling! Here are a few pics. The full build can be seen at Armourworkshop.ca So I spent more time adding some pigments to the lower chassis and hull as wel...

I just received this large (about 2 feet long, weight about 30 pounds) metal (all magnetic) scale model of an Austin Putilov armored car, I think series 2. The tires are very hard old rubber. All of the rivets are individually driven in and finished off. the doors, hatches, and visors all swing up and op...
Dear all, I would like to ask you if anyone is planning to join the Tankfest this year? We are planning a trip to the UK and maybe visiting the Tankfest. Due to the cultural gap I hope I don't ask with importunity to meet some of you. Kind Regards Chris
Ok I've put this off far too long. I am 'Finally' starting on a 1/16 scale version of the MK1 Tank. :) Up to now I have had fears of my 3D abilities letting me down and causing there to be compromises I just wouldn't be happy with... well a few years of working in CAD 3D, I'm 90% through my 1/6 scale build and hav...
The first few photos on this web page show the riveting work on the armrest for the German 10,5cm lFH 1898/09.Until a week ago I just had it put together with bolts.http://lovettartillery.com/10.5cm_leichte_Feld_Haubitze_Limber.htmlThe rest of the page shows the restoration process from be...
Just a thought from looking at the current range of kits available - Takom sell workable tracks for the Mk IV 'Tadpole' Tank. Would they, in theory, fit the Emhar Whippet, with the correct number of links removed?
Having read so many negative reports about the above I bought it mainly for the figures - pity I managed to lose one of them immediately! The instructions I will say no more about except the article on Landships II proved invaluable.

Hi all! In this picture you can see polish general during an inspection at the Lviv area in January 1919. Can you tell me what is the brand of thisrailroad inspection car?
The alleged source of the replica A7V shown below. Have found a synopsis: Victory was written by Boyd Cable, a specialist in military melodramas, and directed by M. A. Wetherell, who had previously directed the WWI docudrama The Somme. As the Germans advance into France in 1918, thousands of refuge...
This is quite a rare piece, according to Filippo Castellano only two remains, both in Torino, one is Museo dell'Artiglieria (closed since decades) and the other inside the Museo del Risorgimento, who reopened just 3 years ago.
