Links to Modelling Sites
and other useful stuff...
The Internet is a useful place when researching your next project. It's possible to find almost anything if you look hard enough. The World War One mailing list run by Allan Wright is well worth subscribing to. If you post a question, someone, somewhere may have the answer. Or answers. Or more likely, further questions.
Web sites listing museum exhibits are worth checking out, homepages about the Great War litter the web, personal photograph collections are accessible and modellers love to show off their work on their own pages. In addition, try the auction sites - they often give previews of photo albums or collections of WW1 memorabilia, which might inspire or inform.
(But please don't copy, save or use any of the photo's or artwork you may find on the web, or some tormented artist will barrage us all with his views on copyright ad nauseum.)
