discussion French R35 - My first ever armour model

Fiouf! It took me long enough but I've finally manage to finish my boys band.
I can now start to think about the diorama to put them on.

I would be more than happy with those two, Arthur. Very nicely painted.

Inspiring work, indeed.

Now that I've finished the vehicle and the two tankers, I can work on the diorama.
I want to make something fun with a light mood.

Maybe the tank could be stuck by something unexpected ?

I sketched out the basic position of all the characters on a piece of extruded foam.

I realised I had to assemble the cow completely to know where it's looking at before I can move forward.

It came from kit I found on eBay. It was pretty horrible to assemble. Nothing fitted together at all. A had to use a lot of putty to smooth out everything. I'll probably have more clean up to do when I'll paint this beast.

After this was done, I reduce the size of the base and to make the scene more compact. A slope un in the foreground and a hill in the background.

I'll put a broken fence from where the cow escaped.
Finally, I build a tree from dry wood and plastic putty, and I framed everything with balsa wood.

To be continued....
