Yves Posted 31 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 31 May , 2020 Super, many thanks 303man. I'm making some 18 Pdr shells and after go back to have more info about ammo crates. Do you have some informations about fuze for armour piercing shell (fuze in the backside of the shell ?). Merci beaucoup Yves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i think the shells are putted in differents categories) And create a scene with 3D object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Haselgrove Posted 31 May , 2020 Share Posted 31 May , 2020 Yves, Welcome to GWF. You have an interesting project. You might try contacting Cornell Publications in the U.S.A: https://www.cornellpubs.com/old-guns/manual-reprints/ They specialize in reprinting old catalogues, etc. including some service manuals. I don't know exactly what is available and you will have to make enquiries. However, I did buy from them "Explanatory List of Service Markings" from 1918 and that has a few illustrations of cartridge boxes, shell markings, etc. and they may, of course, have a more comprehensive manual as far as cartridge/shell boxes are concerned. I attach a photo from the publication in case it is of interest. Regards, Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Haselgrove Posted 31 May , 2020 Share Posted 31 May , 2020 Yves, Well, on my copy the cover only is in colour and the rest in black and white. Also, there are not many illustrations of ammunition boxes. Before buying I would go through what else they have on the subject. Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yves Posted 31 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 31 May , 2020 (edited) I'm making some test to see the result of a shell depot. Watching in the forum to find panels in a shell depot (may be panel to find specific shell of caution panel, or something like that). Here a quick exemple. With more colors and advices about shell used to prepare battle, and more big shell, it will be better. But an image is better than 1000 words.
