So following from the Big Bertha build I’m moving in the opposite direction with this WW1 build. The tiniest of tanks. Originating in 1917 as a prototype it was put into service by France in March, 1918 and by November of that same year 3530 had been produced. Quite a remarkable production effort, mind you, as I said, this beastie is tiny! Interestingly FT-17s were used by 27 countries including the US, China, and the Soviet Union and served in multiple conflicts including both world wars as well as the Russian civil war. It had a nickname ‘the mosquito’ with the idea I believe that these little units could ‘swarm’ the enemy. I think my biggest challenge with this build will be the tiny parts. Some photos of the real thing below. Scott

Thank you Rik! thanks also Patrick, CDW and O.C, Egilman, RGL and all others for your valuable inputs and likes. I find the historical discussion just as engaging as the build! Scott -

Krupp 420mm Big Bertha by Haliburton - Takom - 1/35

Hi folks, while I have not yet reworked the colour of the shell and there will be a tad more weathering to follow I’m going to call this one a wrap. Photos are below and I’ve including a shot with my other WW1 builds beside Bertha to provide a sense of scale. All are 1/35. Alongside Bertha in the last shot are the Krupp 21 cm Morser, mark iv and whippet tanks. Thanks so much for looking in! Scott -

I suppose each generation has its ‘trendy’ clothes that become cringeworthy when one looks back - and then those subtle changes the fashion industry creates to pressure people to go out and “update” their wardrobes (e.g. thin ties, wide ties and back to thin ties. Wefalck that you for the input on the shells, it is appreciated. -

I haven’t found images of her standing next to him - she’s almost always sitting or is positioned lower, and to your point maybe it is because of her height. Of course her husband could also have been on the short side too.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
