Well Santa might be bringing a few more goodies as well as the the Ace 155mm. Noted this on the Strelet forum. Clearly the problems in the Ukraine may put a spanner in the works for the time line.StreletsNov 20, 2014 - 1:02AM86.27.26.105 Re: to Strelets'R: new releases Plan is for 11 sets. 3 Arms ser...
From a Facebook group, this purportedly shows a group of "beute" British tanks being prepared for combat in a French workshop by the Germans. I don't trust too much in the facebook captions. Is it correct? I've never seen this picture before and I thought it's rather interesting.
Found this on MasterBox website, another set of British W1 figures in 1/35th scale. Interesting that they are concentrating on the Battle of the Somme period http://www.mbltd.info/35146.htm
Found this on French railway magazine website. A new book due in October Les chemins de fer français dans la première guerre mondialehttp://www.lrmodelisme.com/librairie/1690-les-chemins-de-fer-francais-dans-la-premiere-guerre-mondiale.html#menu_centre
Hi All, For the model diorama with the Mk IV tank in I am doing, I would like to make some of the reels that were used by British wiring parties who were patching up the front line defences. I would be really (or should that be reelly?) grateful if anyone out there has any information / drawings / pictures o...
The Bovington replica MKIV has arrived in Portsmouth today. It will be on show at the City Museum over the weekend, with representatives from the Tank Museum and HMS Excellent. Although I've seen a few times now, it's great being able to see it in my home town. :) Annoyingly I am working tomorrow, so wil...
Last year or so I came across this restored Bethlehem Steel 37mm gun serving as a WW1 memorial in the Hopkinsville, Kentucky city cemetery. This is the same type of gun the French tested as a potential anti-tank gun and rejected. Thought you all might be interested in seeing it!
Hello! My last work completed in the WW1 range, and I was very happy because I like those heavy guns and, until recently, it was very hard to found anything good. now there are both Des and Blitz (mostly french ones) and Resicast (British subjects). If Takom follow the path open with the Austrian mortar...
Does anyone know where I can find out information on the tank vs tank battle at Agwoint on Oct 8th 1918? I say a comment about this action but no real details.

I'm sure plenty of people will be going to the big show at Telford this weekend, so don't forget to drop by the W^D Models stand, we will be in Hall 1, hopefully near to the Great War special display with other specialist retailers. Come and say hello and have a look at our stuff! Mike
...Or at least they are new to WW1 models. Apparently they'll soon be releasing a Renault FT (which, unfortunately, they refer to as "FT17" ) in 1/72. Details, sprue shots, and built up views available on Henk of Holland's website: http://henk.fox3000.com/flyhawkmodel.htm It loo...
Is there any online resource that shows the chassis or underside view of the Renault AG types? Looking for some references related to the Retrokit kit... Thanks a lot in advance! D.
I'm trying to find photos, ideally from WW1 and in the UK, of artillery being moved on standard gauge railways. So far I've managed to find none. Does anyone have any I could see please, for a couple of projects I'm working on? Glad to accept photos of artillery on the continent too. If anyone has any info...
