The Great War can now be reenacted in your living room, courtesy of Axis (sic) & Allies. Complete with troops, heavy artillery, aircraft, navies, and, of course, tanks. See them all here. Keep scrolling. Just remember those Austro-Hungarian, French, Italian, Turkish, and Russian rhomboid t...
In an idle moment, I wondered whether in 1914 any Prussian or other German troops passed through or close to Waterloo, as others had done in 1815, although with entirely different motives. A sort of "compare and contrast" thing. Some friends in another place were kind enough to detail the...
New to WWI modeling, this is my first post on Landships. I am building the Takom MK IV Female and wish to build it as a Buete. According to PMMS the color call out in the instructions are questionable. Terry quotes the Tankograd Beutepanzer books color call out as Railcar Green, Railcar Red Brown...
This was at the Tracks to the Trenches show at Apedale. I had no idea it existed. Can any one shed any light on it's history ?? I know his grandfather was in charge of them in Egypt in the Great War. The condition is amazing.
HELLO to you all,I am an owner of a truck with bandages Of Dion-Bouton of 1917.In October-November, 2011, I made the route(course) with this truck of Nieuport ( Belgium) in Verdun that is more than 800 kilometers in the 3 weeks.Thanks to my acquired experience on roads, I have a project for June, 2016:...
Sorry if this is the wrong place guys but I wish to ask..... I understand the supply tank sponsons were the same as the sponsons on the male and female versions however, they just didn't have the cut outs for the guns in the armour...... My question is what model were the supply versions based on were the s...
Here is a photograph that I bought many years ago, its only tiny (65mm x 40mm approx), however despite its size the image captures many Tanks, so many in fact it is difficult to count them all!!!! ..........in fact, I would be interested to know if anyone can count them all. I believe it to be Erin. I will...
....I'm giving some thought to marketing this item in 1/32 scale though I could do 1/35(ugh) as well. It will be 3D printed in plastic, and likely a high-dollar item because I'm not a big fan of resin. I'm building this, and a number of other Great War items for my personal collection and wondered if an...
This appears to be a postcard which for some reason has been cut down (not by me I hasten to add), it shows a Mk1 tank on the battlefield. I havent come across this particular image anywhere else but maybe others have, just in case I thought I would post it, hopefully again, it will be of interest to members...
There was a discussion about Mr. M a few years ago in which Toddy took part. One of the questions was of his nationality. I believe Mr. T is perusing the Forum as I write. According to this ancestry site, Macfie was born in USA but living in Devon by 1901 and London by 1911. To find out more would require expe...
The other day I ordered the above as it is an artillery piece I was keen to have in my model collection. Enclosed picture of what you get for Yes thats it! Reminds me of the HaT hard plastic artillery but rather more expensive but less detail! A couple of years ago I managed to pick up a Chromwell version (...
Here are a few pics that I grafted from a Facebook contact of mine. It's a Fireline kit in 1/15 scale that has some parts made by scratch. For the new parts (the ones in dull grey) this modeller is is using thick lead foil. I hope you like it! D. -- Edited by d_fernetti on Friday 4th of July 2014 02:44:22 PM
Hi there all!I’m currently building the new Tamiya Mk.IV as “Sir Reginald” in the Middle East, and have noted that I’ll need to add two brackets, one on each side of the front of the cab roof. I seem to recall reading that these brackets had something to do with fitting camouflage, but I could easily be m...
Hello, I am currently making a technical list of the weapons that Imperial Germany planned to use or was about to use in 1919 (for private purposes only). I was wondering if anyone has any information on the 88mm field gun, as I have only seen it mentioned briefly in a few posts on this forum. I w...
Hi everyone, I found this great image today while I was browsing through the archives of The Sphere Magazine on www.illustratedfirstworldwar.com It's an artists depiction of the "armageddon" he believed tank warfare would bring to the Great War in the future. Have a look through the a...
After years of not building models I am about to take the plunge again. My first attempt will be the Takom early St Chamond. In particular I want to build "Teddy" as it would have looked at Laffaux. On 3 May Teddy was extensively filmed and photographed and I want to check if my color assumpti...
Hello, I recently started the Brach (ex Mr. Panzer) 1/72nd scale WWI Italian Lancia IZ armored car. When I first opened the box I was disappointed at the poor quality of the kit. However, I realize this is an older kit and the molds must be worn. Still, I decided to put the kit back on the shelf and work o...
Can't recall seeing these before, but usual apologies. Been rereading the article in GBM 98, and it ends by saying that the 1A ended up on display at the tank School at Versailles, along with a Schneider and a Saint-Chamond. Guy says that it disappeared after 1940, probably scrapped. But at least one G...
