La rencontre

Erwin Leetink
The next project is the encounter of a Belgian dog cart and the crew of a French St. Chaumont tank and their mount, resting next to a destroyed factory. The tank has been built and is in the progress of painting
The factory is also being taken care of. I painted the walls and tried to fabricate a window. Hard to find the right balance. How is this?

The French must have commissioned Pierre-Auguste Renoir to design the cammo for their armored vehicles. :-O

Erwin Leetink
LOL... They had certainly one of the most colorfull camouflage patterns...

Kerry COX
A pity their Generals were so reluctant to take it up to the Germans. !

Erwin Leetink
The poilus were very unwilling to continue fighting as the stale mate mass slaughters were senseless. Then they come up with these unwielding behemoths... I read somewhere that, after encountering the French heavies, the Germans simply widened their trenches so they could not be crossed by them...

Erwin Leetink
The hardest part of the tank is done: the rather odd camouflage the French used...

Erwin Leetink
The base is fininshed, except for the sides.... but since I got the material to do so yesterday, that part will be done soon too...
