Oh yes. Those do look good. I’ve been going down the 20mm road for French for years. I struggled for figures and equipment for ages, but thank goodness, there’s more on the market now a days.
Keep up the great work.

@Shahbahraz :
Very nice models, sir !


I like the camo scheme on the R35 not seen the light shades on the turret before, might have to add that to some of mine, which are a bit boring in green and brown.
For the camo, it's the "real early war" camo scheme, painted on the tanks before the war, but some can be seen on tanks during the Battle of France.
Your green and brown is the later one. And I agree, it's not the sexiest one ! ^^
Here you can see some examples :

- early one, and as you can see, the colours can be even more weird :


- later one :

 Thanks for sharing the drawings - that is a particularly vivid scheme, more like WWI aircraft. I like the note on the picture that says the colours are only indicative!!

Those look superb, and nothing wrong with the photos either. The 1940 campaign is one of my favourites, I’ve a 20mm French army that manages to hold its own despite my dice rolling.

It's cool to see this beautiful army here  ;)
But everybody had to know,  the more Tancrede's army is beautiful, the less he's lucky during the game  :D !

Always true. The new and beautiful lose.  Or as a friend once told me, 'age and treachery always triumphs over youth and inexperience'. Sorry -  google tells me: 'l'âge et la trahison triomphent toujours de la jeunesse et de l'inexpérience'

Maybe they thought if the Germans saw those Renault's with the psychedelic paint job they would think they had been on the Absinthe and leave them alone?  lol

I have seen it and often wondered if it actually worked.....
