Hi Folks, here are my FT17s from Brigade Games painted by Leroy Simpson. These are the early models with the majority of parts in resin. Leroy added a few extra items.

I'm now going to look at Force of Arms (FOA) for their FT 17s since Brigade Games has gone all metal.
FOA have some lovely vehicles on offer and I'll look at the FT 17s for the Finns for my Winter War project.
-
they look very tempting! just a bit too expensive to get them from USA :(

No not really. The webstore overcalculates and we adjust on shipping so don't be shy
-
Cute little tanks. Leroy should have removed the mold lines from the treads though.
-
Sweet! It would be worth starting a late war French army (or even early WWII French army) just to have an excuse to paint French armour!
-
Very nice indeed. Must do some of these one day>
-
Yes, resin would be more convenient.
-
I picked up of of these at a con, I hope mine comes out as well as yours did! I'm toying with the idea of buying a fistful more, but at this point I'm trying to control myself and concentrate on the Mid East.

I know exactly what you mean >:(
Not mentioning any company names.
Some of the newer metal models are very good though, Ian at Cheiftain has some excellent models in his range.
Like the FT's .
Will have to get one mastered for the Anglian range
-
I´ve seen the Anglian T-26 in flesh, it´s all metall and the best modell I´ve seen so far in 28mm. Plus the weight, gives the right feeling...

Sweet tanks Helen! I'm going to be having a face to face with Lon at Fall In this year as I'm casting his Mk.IV's and V's I'll see if there's a chance of doing the FT-17 up in resin as well.

You may want re-check that. As far as I know, the FT-17s were used as dug in fire support positions in Winter War, no mobile ones were used, after the Finns had realised the main gun failed to penetrate even 10mm of steel. Instead Finns had Vickers type Es (?) which failed miserably.

This subject heading is over a year old and since then I've had support from Peder an many others plus my library increased 10 fold and now just a little wiser, perhaps? I've a numbers of Vickers type Es including the upgrade version. My project (which there is another thread) is coming along slowly as I'm getting prepared for a large WW1 Palestine game in December an I'm busy with paint brush in hand at the moment.
Thanks again for your comments.

No problem, I look forward seeing your Winter War stuff! :)
