Last post by Peter_T1958 - Today at 01:47:55 AMIn addition, on-line encyclopaedias may also be of great help. I often used this here (example shows findings to the term ,, Stehlager")

Last post by Hauk - May 02, 2024, 11:14:54 PMI would love to have access to that book!
Researching my workshop diorama, exact information about the actual prototype is ideal, but in lack of specific information the secon best thing is general informatioan from the right era.
This book is an excellent example of this type of "secondary information". And even if this book was first published in 1902, it could have relevance for modelling projects up to the present. I have seen tools and workshop equipment more than 100 years old still beeing used in mechanical workshops.

Military Modeling / Re: Another Artillery Tractor
Last post by Stuart - May 01, 2024, 05:27:37 PMPeter, it is obvious that you are an absolute master at translating you extensive research, and your experience with CAD and 3D resin printing into some amazing and extremely unique models. As I have been learning the processes and methods required to produce even fairly simple 3D prints I am truly mesmerized by your creations.
