Meng's Renault FT, but in Dutch service. The Dutch army bought 1(!) Renault FT to prove the viability of the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie (a defensive line, protected by a clever system of inundations, yet hopelessly obsoleted by new technology). Actually, the driver of the vehicle secretly got orders to have it bogged down every time, so the people were reassured in that they were safe. I want to portray it while the trials on ice are executed during the winter of 1940. Sometimes the vehicle is shown with a Dutch build Schwarzlose MG, sometimes with just a front plate, and sometimes without, leaving a gaping hole. One of the tests was whether the tank was able to overcome the challenge to negotiate open water and a barrier, created by soldiers. Needless to say it could, much to the chagrin of the onlooking staff... The original picture:  This is my interpretation of above picture:        |

Funnily enough, that is how he came out of the box... It fitted my purpose brilliantly, however!

Man that is COOL!! I really enjoy a good diorama and again when it tells a good story. You've nailed the scene almost perfectly with all of the details and work that went into it. WOW!!!

Many thanks... I liked the challenges this one posed: from the water to the ice sheet and the obstacle to the scenery...

He has a challenge to hide his snigger :-P He is the driver. The real driver was a very tall guy, so that the figure is larger than the others comes in very handy. The middle one is the commander and looks smug that they managed anyway. The heads of the 2 are hornet heads..
