Alright, this is the Char d2 from 2 days ago, revised. It is only a little bit shorter, 2-3 plates, but I do agree, it needed to be shorter. From bottom tracks to top tracks it is a dead even 5 bricks up, whish is what I was aiming for. I added a minifig for scale

Charing Cross denotes the junction of Strand, Whitehall and Cockspur Street, just south of Trafalgar Square in central London, England. It is named after the now demolished Eleanor cross that stood there, in what was once the hamlet of Charing. The site of the cross is now occupied by an equestrian statue of King Charles I. Since the second half of the 18th century Charing Cross has been seen as the centre of London. It is the primary of the central datum points for measuring distances from London along with the London Stone, Hicks Hall and the doors of St Mary-le-Bow church.
Charing Cross railway station, also known as London Charing Cross, is a central London railway terminus in the City of Westminster, England. It is one of 18 stations managed by Network Rail, and trains serving it are operated by Southeastern. It is the fifth busiest rail terminal in London.
The station takes its name from its location next to the central London road junction of Charing Cross. The front of the station faces the Strand, while at the other end is the northern end of Hungerford Bridge, which is crossed by all trains serving the station.
In 1990 most of the area over the platforms was covered by Embankment Place, a post-modern office and shopping complex designed by Terry Farrell and Partners. This development led to the replacement of almost the whole of the 1906 roof. The rear two spans of this structure – immediately adjacent to the existing concourse roof – were retained as part of an enlarged waiting area. In addition the original retaining side walls of the station which once supported it remain in near complete condition.
Who knows how long this tree stood over this land. Watching over farms and fields. It's remains charred after many years of restoration burns.

The Station is named after the the meeting point of six major routes just outside the station, when you see a distance to or from London, that distance is taken from Charing Cross as the notional centre of the capital.
Here is my most recent vehicle: the char D1.
This tank was made to replace the renault Ft within the french army in the late twenties. It was faster, more armored, armed with a 47mm canon and was operated by a 3 men crew: a driver, a commander/gunner and a radioman. In fact it was the first french tank to receive a radio, but instead of a regular radio it was using morse code since the french high command believed that it would have been impossible to hear a voice in the radio in the middle of a battle. But in 1934 it was decided to change their role from "infantry support" to "battle tank". In fact they were supposed to be replaced quickly within that role considering the quick evolutions in tank development at the time, they were replaced in 1937 by the char D2 and B1 tanks. The ones that have been produced were sent in Africa to invade lybia in case of an italian attack.
But in june 1940 they were moved in France to help the main army maintaining the Weygand line. They arrived to late after the collapse of the defense line but were involved in figtings near Souain. A lot of D1 were lost but they managed to stop 3 panzer divisions enough time to avoid french infantry units being encircled. After the battle of France the remaining tanks were sent again in Africa as part of Vichy France. But it was not over for them, during operation torch they were mobilised to fight aginst american tanks and after France colonies officially joined the allies they were sent to fight italians in Lybia like they should have done at the beginning.
It's a long but quiet interesting story of outdated tanks making their way through the whole war ^^.
My model is based on a D1 used in France withthe typical early 30's camoflage. It has a tricolor antenna used by some commanding tanks. The shapes were quiest difficult to get (especially for the turret) but I think that it turned out pretty well. I really love that the tracks are not covered which is typical for early tank designs. I applied some decals and that's how it looks now. I made some efforts to have it scaled a bit down compared to some of my other models in order for it to be perfectly minifig scale.
That's pretty much it, I'm personnaly proud of this model even if it looks strange because to be honest the real tank is also weird. I hope yoou'll like it !
