Have purchased some Marklin "Old-Timer" trucks in 1:32 scale for conversions to WW1 LKWs and was wondering what color they should be painted. My original intention was to paint them medium gray, but saw an image of a WW1 Horsch that was painted medium to dark green. Any suggestions? Bo...
Hi,I am building a British artillery gun limber towing an 18pdr in 28mm produced by Wargames Foundry. Given the rough treatment towed guns seemed to undergo, from footage I have seen, I just wondered if the gun sight would have been removed during transit?

Hello, I am wondering where I can find information about the Whippet's suspension. I tried to find out how the rollers, drive- and idler wheels look like, but wasn't able to find a comprehensive source. From the very few photos I could find of destroyed Whippets, I had the impression that the idler- a...

As long as I was digging through my photos for the oldest APG St. Chamond photo I could find, I thought I'd try to do the same for the Schneider CA. This photo is from the Jarrett collection at MHI at Carlisle Barracks, and my guess is that it dates from the late 1940s or early 1950s. The tank still has some de...

I notice that the festive season has almost reached its end without the customary exchange of greetings on the Forum. I don't know if this is caused by apathy or by a decline in the goodwill quotient amongst contributors. Perhaps the numerous inaccurate accounts of the 1914 Christmas Truce that were...

Can it be possible to calculate full scale 1.1 measurements from a 1/16th scale model ie the Takom FT ie take a measurement from the model and times it by 16, how accurate would this be?
Any idea on which colour the curvy lines would have been painted on? Would they have been black and painted inside in different colours like manyWW1 camouflage examples? And the identity and location of this tank? I see no weapons... but it's possible that this one is a German "Beute"?
An excellent but I suppose expensive kit, comes with a CD with photos and instructions, makes into a really nice model. -- Edited by DaveS on Tuesday 2nd of December 2014 05:07:56 PM-- Edited by DaveS on Tuesday 2nd of December 2014 07:48:53 PM
Came across this photo of the Holt Gas-Electric Tank, not new but it was nice and clear and of a size that might help anyone thinking of building a model. Found it here.
