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.
Bartel Grasslands. Cook County.
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It's a long but quiet interesting story of outdated tanks making their way through the whole war ^^.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 !

The Arches shopping under Charing Cross station. I remember these arches are where many of London's homeless spent the night. They were hosed down early morning by the council, if anyone was still asleep they got hosed down as well.

An icy tear fell like a piercing shard on Cora’s face. But she didn’t feel a thing. The wind and snow beat at her, stealing warmth from her thick leather coat. But she felt nothing. Was it sadness? Is this what that felt like?
Cora was tasked by Darrion of Drynoth’s Bane to investigate a threat to the clan. Word had spread of raiders rampaging the north. This was Cora’s first mission alone. But now, standing there a top the cliff, she felt more alone than ever.
Life hadn’t been kind to Cora. At a young age she was sold into slavery to the ruthless Noble, Grimold. There she was hardened more than any little girl should be and yet she withstood.
As things began to look up for Cora her life changed forever. Drynoth’s Bane had crept into Grimold Keep, robbing and plundering supplies. Cora was the only slave that survived the journey south.
She learned how to live amongst men. How to hide, how to be useful, how to kill.
The race of men weren’t allowed this far north, but Darrion saw something special in Cora. Her stealth had kept her alive this long and would be useful for this mission. He needed someone to break through the border and spy on some mysterious raiders. Drynoth’s Bane was the only clan that was allowed to raid Melikroth. He would see that these pity bandits were terminated.
There Cora stood. Motionless as the howling wind sliced through her bones. For the first time in her life she felt sad. Grimold Keep had been burned to the ground. Charred and splintered. She could still make out the bodies. She knew that somewhere in the wreck lay the aged body of her dear friend, her only friend. Cora had no place to call home anymore. No place to go back to. No purpose.
