Some work done painting the French St Chamond.
Nice, but the colours aren't what we normally associate with WW1, you learn something new every day.

The French seem to have used a variety of colours, as did the Germans on their tanks.
It adds a bit of interest.

A few closer shots, that plastic mast at the rear is looking a little overstressed!

Olivar, here I come.
I have just started a card model of a WW1 topic and could not resist posting this.
It is 1:250 scale and here is one of the guns.
The gun is composed of 8 pieces - note the size!
Quite a number of these will need building.
