elef Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Link works perfectly here, Description (revised) Award Winning Diorama "The French Salute" This great little diorama won 2nd place at the IPMS Region 12 Convention on March 24th, 2007. The Base is a 12" rectangle. The road and groundwork is Sculptamold, and the fence section is built from styrofoam and acrylic modelling paste. Woodland Scenics static grass and course turf finished it off. The Tank is Tamiya's Char B1 bis, and is built out of the box. The vehicle name "laches" is made from pieces of decals from the kit and is french for "cowards". The two german figures are from Dragon's Gen 2 "Germania Regiment" set, the rifleman has arms from the parts box, and a strap made from lead foil. The machine gunner is out of the box. The French Tank Commander is from the B1 kit, but he has had his arms and hands replaced to make him a more accurately articulated Frenchman. Everything was painted with Oils, Acrylics, and Enamels, and weather with Oils and MIG Pigments. Please Note- I normally do not put a reserve on my auctions, unless it is a contest winner. I am not a pro modeler, but I am proud of my work, and I love the recognition. Although sooner or later I part with most stuff I build, (friends, family or ebay), I am always happy to add another winner to my own collection. That is the reason for the reserve. Also, This auction DOES NOT include the 2nd place trophy / plaque. As with all my auctions, if "buy it now" is used, I will pay for shipping within the U.S. Shipping is a flat $17.50 to a U.S. address, and that includes insurance, and my usual awesome packaging. International Bidders must pay actual shipping costs, and insurance is required. Please be sure to see my other items for the 1st place winner also. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! PS-There is no one "dying with their hands up" in this diorama as implied by my first member question. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Mar-28-07 at 15:02:58 PDT, seller added the following information: PLEASE NOTE- Due to the popularity of this model and some of the moronic emails and messages I have received pertaining to it, I reserve the right to Cancel any bid at will. If your feedback is less than 10, and/or less than 100%, please contact me via ebay messages "ask seller a question", prior to bidding. Thanks again for looking, and good luck bidding! Questions from other members Question & Answer Answered On Q: Does the french tank have any forward gears or is it just loaded with multiple reverse gears? Apr-04-07 A: It is probably only reverse.

kojis Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Ok, get it now, I'm browsing from France. The most insulting part for France is someone in that same country felt the need to ban the link and/or item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
