I finally got round to taking pics of some of the French units. I made most of these two months ago & wasn’t going to post them until all the French units were done but I’m going to be to be away for the next few weeks so I thought I’d better post something.

Laffly S20, with model 39 AA

Wasn't the ARL-44 post-war?

Very nice stuff! I agree with MadHQ on the Bean, maybe add some simple textures to make the deck look better?

AMAZING... as usual

[Major_Gilbear]

Those look great Mig I'm wondering if the ARL-44 is too big though...?

[raminator]

great work as always

[Az3r^]

im loving the ARL-44 man and the work is exceptional as usuall

[Mig Eater]

The ARL-44 is about 1-2 pixels to tall but other then that it’s 1:10 scale

You think it too big because you’re comparing it to the B1 bis, put it next to the kingtiger tho...

[Az3r^]

yeah good point

[wilmet]

also , I can't wait to see more naval stuff seeing how beautiful the béarn looks

[Martinoz]

I like it :] Especially this camo

[DaEm0NuL]

They`re cool. But i think it`s Vive La France (with accent on e)

[Mig Eater]

Well the english dictionary has it as viva...

[Major_Gilbear]

In French, it is "Vive La France!"; in Spanish it is "Viva España".
In English, we have "God Save the Queen", though being a republican at heart, I'd prefer "God Save Britain" or "Long Live Britain".

Ah well, I guess we've strayed enough from the topic now, lets return to it shall we?

[DaEm0NuL]

Let`s take it logical if these are french units then the title is in french, right . I`m not interested in other languages.

has it been decided what you will use for the secret units ?

this thing caught my eye at least :

FCMF1

Full scale wooden mock up (note the man standing on the left who gives a good idea of the F1's size).

Twelve of these 140 tonnes behemoths were ordered on 27 April 1940 to replace the aging FCM 2Cs. This tank, designed to lead assaults on the Siegfried Line in 1941, was to be armed with a high-velocity 90mm gun (mv 710 m/s, penetration 100mm at 1000 m) in the rear turret and a 75mm SA 35 in the front turret (the mock up above shows a 47mm gun mock up instead) with a 25mm AT gun on each side of the hull ! The design wasn't finalised however and armament variants included a 105mm gun in the forward turret of in the front hull. Its front armour was to be 120mm with 100mm side armour and its two 550 hp engines would hopefully allow it to race along at a mighty 24 km/h...

[raminator]

the FCMF1 iss a badasstank
i think it would be thae best for a french secret-/super-unit

i did a model for blitz (MG knows;) )
it´s stupid that you are not able to have 2 working turrets there

[Mig Eater]

I’m sorry to say but spies have been removed & secret units can only be accessed from the secret lab or bonus crates now.

The FCMF1 will probably be made at some point tho but I'm in no rush to make it atm...

[Mig Eater]

Who wants to see more french units!?
