Modelling World War 1

I'm not sure how to take that.
Me or my models?
I know I am getting on but.........

I think a horse ambulance may be the next thing. After the two Model T Fords that are coming along slowly.
That is an ambulance for horses not a horse drawn ambulance.
I have found details for a couple, a Commer Car(later to become Commer)  and a Thornycroft with an ingenious system for loading and unloading horses.
The cast wheels may do for both, especially if no one looks too closely.

where does your inspiration come from, you never cease to amaze me!

You've got a real collection going zak - and the standard of them is credit to the lads who gave their lives!  I can't believe the speed you produce these things considering how good they are too!

I find the Landships II website and their forum great for vehicles and so on.

Yes, I've had a bit of a prowl about on it.  In a way, it's good that a lot of stuff ISN'T available as it's stretching me thinking about how I can overcome the lack of stuff I need and I'm gluing all sorts of stuff together that I wouldn't normally have done!

I didn't post pictures of the Resicast resin Artillery tractor that I built and as I am sitting in Ilkley with no modelling to do here it is.
Expensive but superb.
It's only money after all.
I did add extra wiring and spark plugs.

I'm running out of superlatives.

[zak]

Super what?

[Kiteman]

impecable!

Here are a couple more Model T Fords.
The supply version is an RPM lit straight from the box.
The Water carrier is a conversion from the Supply version.

I have a model T Ford in 1:48 in my stash. If I can build it half as good as this I will be twice as happy as you are.

Here we have a horse ambulance under construction, the horses are from the Italeri Hf.2 Schwerer Heeresfeldwagen.
