Description

-Well i lasted almost 2 weeks without making any tanks. Renault Ft-17 This is my favourite (and the best) tank of world war 1, it also saw service in the spanish civil war and ww2. Designed in 1917 it was the first tank to house its main armament in a rotating turret and was the oldest tank still in service during ww2. As far as i know it was also the only tank to be used by German/French/Polish/Spanish and US forces. It had a top speed of about 7.5mph, running on a 39bhp petrol engine, with a 2 man crew. The model shown here has the earlier octagonal turret with a 37mm low velocity main gun. +This one is painted up as a French training unit, however they came in German/Polish/Spanish and US designs also. -Ok thats enough of a history lesson, comments welcome...

Love it, as with all your work, especially your tanks (even if there are a zillion of them :P). I love the chain at the back the most, it looks so naturally placed. Jealous!!

Flak, as usual, great model. I think you may have a problem. The first step in getting better is admitting you have a problem. Say this out loud, " Hi, my name is Flakmonkey, and I am a Tank-a-holic" Baby steps Flak, baby steps.
