Ive been working on these for a little bit, and thought id show you all, Im also in the progress of making a german with a pickelhaulbe, and also some french infantry. But my other bigger projects are a Renault FT-17, and a Fokker Dr.1 all in 1/18. Hope you guys like it so far,

Pickelhaulbe gave me some advice on the German Trooper, and I took it into consideration, and redid it, and here it is, and theres also some cool photos I took with it on my sideyard,the last picture shows the color difference of the German troops uniform,<a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/26 ...

Looking real good. I agree with Red. The steel helm colors are spot on. The shading and all are perfect.

look great. How did you make your british helmet? I've been wanting something like that for years...

It was pretty easy, all I did was take an american M1 helmet, and cut it down to an apropriate size, and then used heavy cardstock to make the rim, and used a small amount of puddy to make the rim round up to the helmet. Good Luck

I just finished my Renault FT-17, and I am about to post the pictures, but I did have one question, those who know what tank Im talking about, What was the back shovel like looking thing? was it there to absorb shock from rough terrain, maybe someone can help me out, and im excited to show you all my new tank!! However I still have to put the Rivet detail on

:? so far its proving to be pretty hard,

I think it was used to cross trenches, so the thing doesnt fall in :lol:

Nice figures BTW, exellent paint work, nice trenches too!

Here it is, Its a 1/18 Custom Renault FT-17This is just the basic frame, and painting job, I still need to add on the Rivet detail, and the other supplies on it! Hope you like it, and if anyone notices anything I need to add, or if theres anything historically incorrect about it, let me know,

Moth is correct and it also was there as a prevention for flip overs as well. Kind of like a wheelee bar. :D
Great tank by the way!!!
