    1. Ouch.... must all have been a study in patience.... I loose it even building things out of lego.... that's why I never took up modelling...
    2. This is Dr Karl Kress... I guess there is no way to find out anything about him? No further info other than he served 14-18.... Thanks Chris
    3. Here is a nice shot of a simple front fighter.... Would he be arty?
    4. How did you make the wing with the rippled surface on it??
    5. Bingo! I guess he needed something to decorate the uniform with. Best Chris
    6. One of the things I like about the phot is it seems to confirm that the Germans, like the British, used bandsmen as standard-bearers.
    7. Is this an Artilleryman? Has anyone seen the chest badge before? Photo was taken in march 1916....
    8. This photo is stamped "Nicht zur Ver?ffentlichung!" so i suppose it was an official photo that caught the old guy at the wrong moment... and somehow made its way to the public (ie. moi) years later... Can anyone place this? maybe an official ceremony?
    9. A missing leg, a missing hand, a missing finger... probably a missing eye... and a single EK (so far) to show for it.... I am sure a number were awarded the EK later, especially the invalides...
    10. A good start to an obscure subject.... would like to add something but due to lack of knowledge have to join the list of "interested reader" instead.

    14. Is this a pionier? and what does a knife like that cost nowdays?
    15. Hi, could you do close ups of the individual medals? Feel free to start threads for these individual medals. best Chris
    16. None of the EU nations could agree on a design... so they decided to just accept this ....
    17. Not yet.... I just seem to find those silly little carbines... :-(
    18. Hi, Is this an EU medal or a Spanish one?
    19. Hi, thanks for the info, Chris
