GrandpaPhil Posted January 25, 2020 #1 Posted January 25, 2020 This is a Warlord Games R-35 Tank in 28mm scale. I haven’t wargamed in nearly 20 years, but the 28mm ranges are great sources of obscure subjects (and fun projects). The R-35 was an early war two-man tankette belonging to the French. The German Army liked them well enough to capture them and press them into service. This is a resin kit with metal detail parts. I assembled it a while back and primed it black. I wanted a quick project for today, because it is nice to occasionally make something that you can finish in a few hours (I can’t build multiple ships at the same time). I tried to make it look nice and muddy. I still have some detail painting to do. I’ve had fun painting it today. mtaylor, Old Collingwood, popeye the sailor and 4 others 7 Quote Building: 1:200 Russian Battleship Oryol (Orel card kit) 1:64 HMS Revenge (Victory Models plans) 1:64 Cat Esther (17th Century Dutch Merchant Ships)

Louie da fly Posted January 25, 2020 #5 Posted January 25, 2020 What a great build.Very nice work. What an amazing vehicle! Whatever possessed them to even think of it, much less put it into production? And yet must have been useful if the Germans took over and used captured ones.

GrandpaPhil Posted January 25, 2020 Author #6 Posted January 25, 2020 Thank you! I want to build a Char B1 Bis eventually. Those were monsters. A lot of the early war allied tanks were behemoths, though. They were just too slow. But, they look neat.

CapnMac82 Posted January 26, 2020 #7 Posted January 26, 2020 Having seen 6' Nick Moran's (aka The Chieftain) in-depth walk around on this vehicle, that must be a teeny model. So, all the more respect for the quality of the paint job & weathering. popeye the sailor, Canute, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4 Quote

GrandpaPhil Posted January 29, 2020 Author #9 Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Thank you very much. It is intended for a game called Bolt Action. I have built several models from this line. I have never played it, but the models and miniatures are top notch.
