I am a new kid on the GQIII block.Is there a place here in the forum or on the ODGW website with links to good Naval History sites? I have collected a few myself overtime searching for histories and camoflage patterns, but I need more guidance on model building, painting and super detailing. Any suggestions? Dave

Dave,The web database has not yet made the transition from the old server. We hope to have that ported over after we take care of a few more pressing issues — we have some publishing to do and we need to upgrade the forum module.Stay tuned!Gregory

There just isn't that much out there. There are very very few colorized b&w photos and some post cards (like the ones on the site you mentioned). I know I've never seen any paint chips of the WWI colors.
