A French R35 tank has forced the surrender of a German Pz I crewman after a battle of the two light tanks. Also, a French infantryman has fallen in the battle to stop the Germans.

Nice pics Duke, good idea to make a scene of a local engagement which in this case has gone to the French. I don't have the R35 but I do have the Pz1 and its a nice little Tank. I like your road and trees too, nice work

Thanks guys for the comments. I just got the Renault R35 and was wondering how to use it in a display. I've had the Pz I for some time and thought they would go good together. The German wounded panzer crewman that comes with the Renault set is a great figure. I'm sure I'll find another use for him in another display in the future.

That German tanker has to feel super embarrassed- probably the only tanker captured during the Fall of France!! Gotta believe Rommel will be sending him over to Guedarian to school him up on armored Blitz warfare in the steppes of Central Russia!!

I've always wanted to do a diorama with the Renault R35(s) and US Stuarts. They actually faced off in North Africa before the French decided to join the Allies. By the way, The Americans won this tank battle with the assistance of air support.
