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).

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...
Hi Everybody, I am new to the forum and have taken a new interest in WWI tanks due to a model project so I have many questions on a subject I know very little about! So here we go... I am building a model of a Mk IV tank from the Tamiya kit and I would like to mark it up as the famous preserved machine Lodestar II...
Asked the Airfix customer service about the release date of the announced new-tooled 1/72 WW1 sets: German field gun with crew, British field gun with crew, French early war infantry. The answer is: "These are due in December at the moment but maybe put off to next year." If we show interes...
