Which make of figures are those?

They look like Panhard armoured cars?

👍 good job.

Thanks for the comments chaps.

All from Minifigs 10/12mm range, listed as Panhard AMD 35 A/C.

I've been tempted by 10mm on a few occasions, you can get a lot of game in a smaller space, or play bigger actions with realistic ranges etc.

Your models look great too.

I hadn’t realised minifigs had WWII french, not sure why I had missed that. Most of my French vehicles are Pithead, with infantry a mix of Pithead and Pendraken. They have proved very tough opposition to the Germans.

10mm is a great scale, particularly for WWII where tanks aren’t too big, and infantry aren’t too small. So you can fit lots on a table, and still tell what’s what.

Thanks for the feedback.

My French and Germans are mostly Pendraken with some Pithead and Minifigs.  The Minifigs scaling can be a bit variable between items, e.g. their figures are smaller than Pendraken but vehicles can be bigger.

If I get involved in any more vehicle-based projects they will certainly be 10mm. Good way of showing reasonably-sized formations at a convenient footprint and price.  Each of my 'Divisions' is 50-odd bases each.
