Renault R35 Tamiya 1:35 Merde!


Recommended Posts

Hi all

Here is a French R35 1:35 from Tamiya I finished up recently.

The diorama is based on a photo of an R35 in a drainage ditch somewhere in Normandy during trials in 1937. Jean Pierre has a wee pain in his head.  The kit is Tamiya so it fell together in 5 hours tops and the work was in painting and making the base. I used one of my sons expensive fine tipped markers for the black line and it worked really well and didn't leave an indigo shine as some tend to. 

 

The base is a cheap jewellery box , lid taken off and chopped down and back filled with florist foam.

Jean Pierre is a mix of ICM and MiniArt figures.

I have to say the combination of price, fit, colours and alot of cool historical photos featuring the R35 means I will becoming back to this little tank.
