I know your tempted to add a cs9 as a command vehicle. Just thought this would be spont on for you ( with your ability plus its a little different from the normal take.)

Mark.

Thanks Mark. That is a fabulous photo. The British at war - complete with beach umbrella

Did you make the master of the CS9 for 1st Corps?

Cracking stuff, been lurking for a while! Also the reason behind me getting a few french vehicles. Following with keen eyes as to what is to come!

I thought you'd like the idea . Real life is so much weirder than most gamers allow for.
As for the master . No its a Cad piece, I only made the crew.
This year I'll be mainly figure sculpting rather vehicles( not so with the Follies and the homefront of course

)

If I had to hazard a guess, I suspect it was a café umbrella liberated from Groppi's or similar popular establishment in Cairo.

Great work as always Richard!

How did you find the quality and accuracy of the Rubicon resin French bits? If I recall, someone else use to do these - Blitzkrieg Minis??? - and Rubicon bought the molds. I am tempted to buy some of their French AFVs, as I can't see them coming out in 1/48...so might go 'downscale' for a change! Do let me (us all) know your thoughts?

Neucraft were the original owners and I have seen nothing but praise for their products.

+2 with Poiter50 ... great great models, may be the best 1/56 resin kits i saw ...

Completely agree. They are excellent. More like lightweight, high definition plastic than the familiar grotty lumps of solid, heavyweight resin wargamers are more familiar with.

The only annoying thing is that thanks to Rubicon Models' admirable dedication to continuous improvement, they've just updated the Citroen with an improved model with open (rather than solid) windows, improved exterior detailing, full interior detailing, seats, etc., and a civilian driver!

Right after I painted my original version...

Ah well...

Goddamit Peder. I think you're right!

Bit of a hiatus... Sorry about that... Here's the last Rubicon (ex-Neucraft) resin WW2 French model: the ubiquitous Renault R35 light tank.

Another very beautiful and crisp little model. So much detail on it that I couldn't bring myself to add any stowage which would obscure it!
