Fantastic, i'm glad there's still at least one left. I'd love to see a photo of it completed, if anyone has any

why dont you buy a de-act webly would be cheaper plus nicer i know i have one lol

 

 

A Webley Mk VI, cheaper than £49?!

It does match up well the photo of an Aries I have ( a three tonner with a GS body ), but the wheels are different and the running board isn't as long - although obviously this could easily be changed on later/earlier versions etc.

I'm guessing you think it looks like a Berliet CBA? Out of the choice of either an Aries or a Berliet, i'd definitely go for an Aries

Not much better if you are a member of a group! I've ordered a wooden Webley Mk VI as a holster filler for my Lewis/Vickers gunner's webbing (can't really justify £500+ for something you'll only see the butt of), and it just comes in plain black, so i'll have to repaint it to look more realistic

Can't believe I missed it - I thought the Argentinian one was, well, Argentinian so found the 'TANKS!' website which had the same photo you used, and in the Italian section I found the Alfa, and right above it was photo number three, which I didn't notice until just now - it is *drumroll*

an Ansaldo Armoured Car, a 1925 prototype, based on the Pavesi

First one Italian - Alfa Romeo 800 six ton truck, experimentally converted to half track

Middle one is Argentinian - Medium Tank Nahuel D.L. 43, looks very similar to the Sherman (check out the suspension and tracks)

Armoured Autocar (like the two (un-armoured) owned by GWT) armed with two Vickers machine guns, Canadian, 1st Canadian Automobile Machine Gun Brigade

Do I win anything?

The one GWT mentions is probably the Australian one, with an eagle on its back about to be bayonetted from above by an Australian soldier

It was one of the Battleground Europe guide books, titled 'Bazentin Ridge' - the photo was a side profile view, didn't realise the FWD was so big

Found a nice photo in one of my books of an FWD three tonner with a limber and 6 inch Howitzer - could scan it in for you and e-mail it if you like, Tim?

I'm guessing the other clue is the crucifix top right hand corner... but can't think of any countries associated with camels particularly notable for being christian

Egypt?

Nice, a surviving one? I'll have to try and get a copy, if they're available to non-members

Video of the Fiat 3000, including showing the incident shown on the photo, here

I make no apologies for making the Allo' allo' joke again, it's a good joke and I stand by my sense of humour

Very nice - if you could actually get hold of them, i'd love to see some painted WW1 British helmets and would buy one - you could probably get quite a few customers in the WW1 scene from that

Fiat 3000 tank (based on the Renault FT 17)

As well as the 18 pounders at the Royal Artillery Museum, they also have several other WW1 era exhibits, which i've covered in another thread but added a couple of items here which I didn't get photos of last time. Hope they're of interest

Barrel from a 4.5 inch howitzer - by the time of the Armistice there were almost a thousand in action on the Western Front, and a few were still in use by WW2.

The complete weapon

1917 Ford model T converted into a railway locomotive and used for hauling shells

Model of one of the figures that flank the Royal Artillery memorial at Hyde Park Corner

French 75mm gun - although obsolete by the start of the First World War, the French had so many in service they were successful through sheer numbers. They were also used by the British in small numbers

Gallipoli trench art, dated 1922 - probably from 18 pounder shell cases

On the old forum there was a topic about the Italian Pavesi vehicles, including the armoured car version armed with a machine gun - for those interested, i've found a photo showing the version armed with a 57mm gun, designed as a tank hunter

Here's the Mk IV Male tank in action

Here's a video of the Mk IV Male Tank replica in action at Fort Nelson last weekend

18 Pounder in action

The 18 pounder and ammunition limber at Fort Nelson

Over the past few days I saw no less than six 18 pounder field guns (seven including the Martin Perry mid-war conversion), the most numerous gun in the Royal Artillery's arsenal in the Great War. Apart from the seven seen during the week, and the one at the Muckleburgh Collection, Norfolk, are there any more in the country?

The first three are at the Royal Artillery Museum, Woolwich, which has a great collection of WW1 era artillery

18 pounder at the IWM

Here's some more - i'll upload some videos later, which include four rounds from the 18 pounder, and the tank
