Uberlandwagen 1:48

New Wayne McCullough model - 1:48 Uberlandwagen.


There were 100 chassis built for the A7V committee - only 20 were completed with armoured shells as tanks - most of the remainder (57 or so) were completed as tracked transporters. These were deployed from December 1917 on the Western Front. However, they saw little use since their fuel consumption was very high compared to wheeled trucks and the German Army was very short of fuel in 1918.


Usual URL - Landships II

Charlie

Oh, I nearly forgot, Wayne, thank you very much for the model, they just keep on getting better and better, and Charlie thank you for hosting it.
I wonder what is next?
I seem to recall a WWI prototype tank that was actually built and was really really big, and then there were some tractors with a lot of fiddley bits that were built in Stockton and then ... better stop I'm getting greedy and imposing on Wayne's good will, and I won't even think about German artillery pieces or that famous French cannon, or
trench rail roads or ... trucks ... airplanes .....................fahrpanzers .........Austro-Hungarian helicopters...........

If you looked at the articles on landships.info you would have found:


Landships II


A further exploration would have given you:


Saint-Chamond SPGs

Landships II


You are, I believe, referring to the Holt Mark VII SPG (3inch M1916 gun) which was made in Stockton. Most of the other Holt SPGs were made in the Rock Island Arsenal.
Landships II



There were also Christie SPGs - built before his series of tanks.
Landships II


The "huge" tank may be the steam tank built by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1918. Unfortunately there are no drawings of the tank or sufficiently detailed images to create decent drawings.


Landships II


It is possible to turn a .stl file into a papermodel using Blender. I have a really good Dicke Berta .stl model on Landships II. Look in 3D Models. Now that would be challenge - and I'd host the resulting papermodel on Landships...


Regards,


Charlie

I just downloaded a copy of this model, and I have to say that Wayne really did an incredible job here. The step-by-step illustrated instructions are first rate. The detailed suspension is a wonder. Wayne has put as much, if not more, work in this free offering than is found in many for purchase models. Outstanding!

The Holt company built a whole range of artillery tractors with 2.5ton, 5, 10, 15 and 20 ton towing capacity. The 15 and 20 ton capacity tractors were similar to the commercial Holt agricultural vehicles but the smaller ones were designed during WW1. Several hundred of the 5 and 10 ton tractors were deployed to the Western Front in 1918. I think most of the smaller capacity tractors were (as you said) built at Stockton.


There are a number of the 5 and 10-ton tractors still around - they were sold into civilian use in the 1920s and saw lots of hard work as forestry and construction tractors. If you search for "Holt (5)10-ton artillery tractor" on YouTube there are a surprising number of videos.



I really should write up a decent article for Landships II on the Holt artillery tractors since they were in common use in WW1. No one has made models of them so far.


[ For those not up to speed with arcane history stuff - in the 1920s Holt merged with the Best tractor company and became a new company most people would recognise today - Caterpillar ]


Regards,


Charlie
