The next one that was just awaiting my new airbrush and the replenishment of my paint supplies.  Hobbyboss St Chamond

Very nice!  I love the weathering effects.

Great job, mate! :smiley:


Unfortunately I've always considered the St Chamond to be a sort of armoured randomly-positionable machine-gun nest, with the big gun only useful for anyone foolish enough to walk directly in front of it. ;)

Great job! The camo pattern (with the black outlines) looks excellent. That's always tough to do.

This could be my favorite of your armor builds yet!

Just superb in every aspect; paint scheme, weathering, rendering the distressed metal...

It couldn't be any more Great War!

Many thanks fellas

Yep.  there is just something about the design, as useless as it was, that appeals to me though.  My next french tank is a bit more practical.  The FT 17, though the decals are for an American crewed vehicle.
