Hey dear readers,
Here's an update on the progress of my dio featuring the Hotchkiss H39 and the Peugeot P112. I've constructed a wall and a paved road from scratch. These will be the subjects of two step by step articles that I will publish later on this blog once they'll be 100% finished. Here are a few pics of the general idea of the dio in progress. As usual... don't hesitate to leave comments, questions and/or constructive criticisms.
HAPPY MODELLING!
Salut Thierry,
RépondreSupprimerdébut prometteur pour ton dio.
la forme arrondi de celui-ci change du format carré
original! Bravo!
a+ pour la suite
Merci J-C,
SupprimerLe but du dio, cette fois-ci, est qu'il n'y ait pas de "sens" pour le regarder, qu'il puisse être vu sous tous les angles sans qu'il y ait un "vide". C'est pour cette raison que j'ai choisi une base ronde, qui, je trouve, favorise ceci.

Salut Thierry
RépondreSupprimerBon début, l'idée de la base ronde fait toujours son effet.Elle rend la vision du dio très agréable. Juste une petite question. ..La portion de route sous ton char va être aussi pavée ou tu as chousi une texture différente?
En tout cas bravo pour ce début et bon courage pour la suite.
A+

Hello Philippe,
SupprimerMerci pour ton commentaire, j'attaque la peinture du mur et de la route ce week end. Sous le char, il est prévu que je fasse des hautes herbes comme ici: http://sizemilitarymodels.blogspot.be/search/label/How%20to%20make%20grass%20in%201%2F35th%20scale%3F
Le but est de faire sortir le char d'un champ. Derrière le mur est aussi prévu un arbre et de la végétation. Puis il restera encore un peu de détaillage à faire au niveau du décor mais de éléments moins grands.

Good view and fine Hotchkiss 35
RépondreSupprimerFrench tanks were good and of high quality.
French armored forces were the second largest after the Soviet Union.
Wagon's biggest fault was too small for the crew.
Another problem the same as in the Soviet Union.
The wagon was used only in the context of supporting the infantry
is not authorized to fight the wagon alone against the enemy.
For this reason, they were also slow
In addition, single wagon lacked the Director-General
Hello Maximex,
SupprimerThx for your visit on my blog! You're completely right except that the tank is a H39 instead of a H35. The main differences between the two tanks is that the 37 mm gun is longer (which means better antitank power)and that the engine deck is flatter and more square because the engine was also larger than on the H35 (the H39 was a bit faster and mor reliable than the H35 and the H38). Nevertheles your comment is completely right about French tanks. These were excellent but the biggest probem was the lack of a third crew. The turret being often made for one person, the tank commander, he was assigned all the tasks: firing, reloading and commanding the tank. Too many things to do at the same time, especially if you are not supported by infantry!!!!!!
An exception to this was the Renault ACG1 which allowed two men in the turret but there were too few of these and their armour wasn't thick enough + these were a bit outdated when the war broke out. It had nevertheless a powerfull 47mm gun (which was very efficient in early WWII).

Good morning. Unknown plogi friend.
SupprimerHistory is interesting, especially military history.
The older the more interesting it is.
After WW-I, France was Europe's strongest army.
Only the Red Army was the greater.
Germany increased by the same strength of the 1940 year.
Attack Battle of France in second place.
1940 France had 4361 tanks, but they are only allowed to use cavalry and infantry support weapon.
The cause was army generals just a matter of prestige resulting from the conflicts.
(Just like the Finnish aircraft purchases before the Winter War when the aim was still to buy a seaplane because Finland has a lot of lakes)
A few of the officer tried in vain to talk about self-independent armored forces in favor, but to no avail. 1930's during this task was Lieutenant-Colonel Charles de Gaulle.
1937 France established the maximum setter groups.
The two cavalry divisions converted into light mechanized division (Divisions Legeres Mecanigues), which included 10 000 men and 175 panssarvaunua.
A little later, the armored division (Division Cuirassees) of 6000 men and 161 tanks ...
Hey Maximex,
SupprimerYou're completely right about De Gaulle. He really was a forerunner as regards tank use. I even thinck he wrote an essay about armored divisions and their huge offensive potential before the Germans (Guderian) created their own Panzerdivisionen. By the way, during the campaign of France 1940 he was one of the only French commanders (I thinck he was colonel at the time) who succesfully led his tanks to significant victories against German Panzerdivisionen.

Très chouette l'idée du 360 degrés, et très belle réalisation!
RépondreSupprimerPhil.
Merci Phil,
SupprimerJe me disais que ça me forcerait aussi à travailler tous les angles du dio en laissant le moins de vide possible.
Thierry
Salut Thierry !
RépondreSupprimerJ'adore la mise en place ! Ca va être un superbe dio ! La base ronde contraste bien avec le mur et le tout est très bien équilibré ! Je sens que ça va être un dio qui va tout déchirer ! ;)
Continue comme ça, mon ami !
Alex!
Merci Alex!
SupprimerJe m'applique, je m'applique. Il n'y a pas que les blindés après tout! : )
J'espère l'avoir fini avant septembre pour le KMK Scaleworld... sinon ce sera pour Ransart 2014...
A+
Thierry
Du très bon travail Thierry , je vais rester attentif pour voir l'évolution
RépondreSupprimerSalutations
Merci Vincent!
SupprimerStay tuned my friend!
Thierry
Nice composition Thierry I can see this looking very nice once finished
RépondreSupprimerTHX Pete,
SupprimerI still have a lot of work ahead but I'm happy with the result till now. Stay tuned!
Thierry
Thierry j'arrive un peu tardivement ! Ton mur est vraiment très chouette et la mise en scène est parfaite!
RépondreSupprimerMerci Fréd!
SupprimerMon but est de créer une scène qui peut être vue sous tous les angles à 360° sans laisser de "vides techniques". C'est pour cette raison que j'ai opté pour une base ronde et que j'essaie de concentrer un max d'éléments sur une petite surface. Certains trouvent la base trop petite et trop chargée mais perso j'aime bien ce style de composition où l'observateur n'a pas le temps de s'ennuyer... à vérifier une fois le travail fini ; )
