Re: Strelets - Arms

Dear Strelets

thanks for the speedy reply.

Can I help with tank drawings? I have a lot myself, and I have a lot of mates with drawings as well.

Re: Strelets - Arms

Dear PDA,

we need drawings for both Schneider and S.Chamond, especially for the hull bottom and tracks and wheels.
You may send them to our e-mail address.
Thanks beforehand for your kind assistance.

Best regards,

Strelets

Re: Strelets - Arms

Dear Strelets you can find quite a few drawings on blueprints.com

http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/tanks/tanks-s/15864/view/schneider_ca-1_(france)/

you need to create an account for a higher resolution which is free...

I dought you'll get drawings of the underside its probarbly best to study photos, Landships II has a very good walkround of a surviving example of the schneider...

In the past Ive found this site to be usefull...

Re: Strelets - Arms

Hi Strelets

found this interesting thread on the French language forum, Pages14-18. It goes into detail about the St Chamond tanks. You can run it through a translator.

Here's the track unit of a St Chamond:



And here's the link to the whole page:

Re: Strelets - Arms

This might prove to be a usefull publication "GP 29 Schneider CA, St. Chamond"

http://aj-press.home.pl/gp29_euro.htm

Includes 8 pages of scale plans so hopefully everything thats needed

Cheers

Gunpower29 Schneider Ca St Chamond

Dear Strelets, Just had a quick flick through this book, Its well worth getting, many new photos to me at least, many good multiview drawings in large scale cant comment on accuracy but they look good to me, some interesting color profiles too...

Overall I think very usefull

Cheers

Dear PDA,

these tanks, most likely, will released AFTER guns of WWI due to the problems with the drawings that are lacking for some of them.
We've chosen few candidates for the guns to be included in Arms series. To start with, amongst them - 2 German, 2 French and 1 British siege gun.
Mark V is possible but at some later stage.
Please be guided accordingly.

Best regards,

Strelets


The artllery pieces that have already been produced have been excellent. I congratulate Strelet on producing such sets!

I look forward to the 5 proposed artillety pieces especially the British seige gun - more sets than I was expecting! Another British piece was a plesant suprise.

A 9.2-inch (234mm) Howitzer would be an outstanding model from you.The IWM in London has a colourful example. The LandshipII site has a very intesting article on the subject.


I suspect you have already contacted the Tank Museum at Saumur (Musée des Blindés) as it should have blueprints of both types are represented there. If not it may be worth a try!

Re: Strelets - Arms to Strelets

I have a contact at Bovington Tank museum, a guy I worked with for 20yrs ,he now does their fund raising, it it would help I can see if he can come up with any thing,just let me know a list of what you need and I will pass it on.

Re: Strelets - Arms to Strelets

Strelets, here are a couple of links to pages of photos:

Over 250 photos of the Saint Chamond here (but be careful: some are of the prototype): http://www.chars-francais.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=61&Itemid=37

Nearly 300 photos of the Schneider CA here: http://www.chars-francais.net/new/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=57&Itemid=36

Some small plan type drawings are there also.

Hope this helps.

Totally agree with the above comments. One can only hope that the leading manufactures will one day become more adventurous and produce new tanks rather than the usual feline products and those '1946' paper tanks!

Re: Strelets - Arms

This book also has plans and coloured illustrations, as well as many photos
