An American Renault (1 Viewer)

The commander of an American Renault FT-17 tank from the 2nd Platoon, 1st Company of the 344th Tank Battalion of the 304th Tank Brigade stops to exchange words with a Junior Officer from the same unit while a couple of “Doughboys” walk past. The scene takes place somewhere in the Verdun region on the Western Front in 1918 during the closing months of WWI.

I recently pulled my U.S. Renault FT-17 (GWUS-07P) out from the back of a display cabinet and made a simple compact vignette display for it with a handful of other figures. While the Renault FT-17 is an old model, John definitely did a fantastic job with it and, aside from lacking an interior, the level of detail is on par with his more recent models. I personally love the stowage and chains on stashed on the tailpiece!

Enjoy

Small, but expressive vignette. Very cool. Robin.

Thank you, Robin

It is indeed a small display at only 5”x7” inside the frame, but everything fits realistically… The FT-17 certainly was a small tank!

Oh, you’ve got the Renault Tank — that’s a really cool model! And very nice setup!

I missed this tank when released Very nice diorama. Wished I had got it looking at your set up.
