Screensaver
Here you can find the special Landships Sceensaver!
It features a number of contemporary black-and-white drawings, showing French WW1 Tanks in action. I have built the screen saver myself, and it only works on Windows. You simply download the file - it's in zip form - and put it in the Windows file. After that you can choose it as your screen saver. Enjoy!
It is some 700Kb:s big.
Wallpaper
These are some impressive contemporary paintings with Great War motifs. The thought is that you can use them as wallpaper - for the PC with the Active Desktop activated, that is; sorry all you MAC-users out there. Just click on the picture you want, wait for the download - they're about 150K+ each - unzip them in your Windows Library, and then designate that picture as your current wallpaper file. (Two of them are in zip-format.)
This is a dramatic painting of two French S:t Chamonds, supported by Infantry and capturing a Hilltop during the fighting in 1918. The colours and patterns of the camouflage are noteworthy, as we have no colour photographs from this War - although we have photographs coloured by hand. The artist is Francois Flameng.
In this contemporary painting by the German O Merté you can see a battery of 15cm s.FH 13 in action. Dramatic stuff indeeed, but it is also interesting in its details: the look and equipment of the gunners, and also the camouflage of the guns.
This is a painting of a British Mk 1, sporting 1916-camouflage, and followed by cheering infantry; surely an attempt to recreate the Tanks debut on the Somme, and the taking of Flers - remember the report: "A tank is walking up the High Street at Flers, with the British Army cheering behind". The artist is again Francois Flameng.
