Oh, and where do I sign up to get my own?

The tracks are from Norscot Caterpiller.

First WWI French suject I know of! Few inaccuracies, but close enough.

I need to wind down the shipyard after these current projects & get back to armor this winter. An A7V or captured MkIV would look very nice beside it.

It would be nice to see it with an A7V, actually I remember recently seeing one in 15th scale on German ebay, but alas static.

Check this unique pic showing size comparrison of WWI AFV's.

Status: offline 		Yup, that is extremely impressive. Looks fantastic. It would also be appropriate to have it duking it out against a PZ I or PZ II, since I believe the FT17 was still in use in small numbers at the start of WWII.

Again, what a great result. Congrats,

Mike.
