It's raining here in Dublin Frank

Good job on the Hotchkiss and the figures and the miniart base really works with them.
Good steb by step on "assembly"- you should submit your articles to magazines Frank.

Frank- a real nice piece here- interesting tank and good scene interaction with the the figures. Great job on the Hotchkiss too especially the tracks and weathering. That Mini-art base looks the part aswell. Thanks for posting.

Yes nice work Frank, I am a fan of your modeling.
The weathering and dirt are just right to my eye!
I like the scratch ammo cabinet too.

Great work, as always. Nice to see some french armour, eventhough it's broken...
BTW, are you going to be at the C4 in Malmö this year?

Hopefully ... been there this last 3 or 4 years. Im going to Euromiliyaire this year in September, so it will depend on the guys I usually travel with ... if they go ... I´ll be there. Its a great comp .... especially if you´re into armor. I really recommend making the trip, if you are thinking about it.

Really nice work, Frank. Elegant and simple in the best senses of the words.

What AM bits did you add to the build? It looks like the interior was tricked out a bit with resin, but the blog says it's scratch-built. If so, it looks excellent.
