Hi all,

All finished with this one! Quite a nice kit overall. I wanted to jazz up the base that comes with it, so added a back to the wall, built up some rubble on the inside of the building, and stuck the whole thing on a new terrain.

The scene depicts French troops during the 1940 invasion, moving up to the front after a counterattack. They pass a knocked out FT-17 on the way, which was previously hit by two AT rounds and ended up ditched in a small pond. One soldier stops for a look, while the rest of the column moves on.

Unbeknownst to them, they pass a small German reconnaissance team, who were hiding in the destroyed farmhouse. One peeks a look from within the ruin, while his comrade tells him to get back.

Enjoy, and as always, any comments and criticisms are always welcome!

Greg
