Hi Simon - I do not often work in the smaller scales, but having a go for the Group Build 🙂
Watch this Imperial War Museum video, the tank is at about 4mins 25secs in :
iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1060023023
So the project is a mini diorama of 1918 French infantry advancing through woodland, supported by the Renault FT tank.

The footage you shared Andy is great. What struck me was how slow the vehicle moved, but how fast the turret could traverse. Looks like your model is going to be great, but I don't envy you having to do all that foliage!

Album info

A mini diorama of 1918 French infantry advancing through woodland, supported by a Renault FT tank.
Using this bit of archive film at the Imperial War Museum for inspiration :
iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/1060023023
The FT emerges from the woods at about 4min 25sec into the film, and an infantryman goes by in the trees beyond. It's probably from a newsreel or training exercise, but I like the sense of reality about it.

Although the tank kit is aimed at early WW2 use, I'll be making for a WW1 representation for it with the infantry still in their 'horizon blue' uniforms which I imagine were less than ideal in any conditions other than cresting a hill or trench...
I will save the other tank from the kit for another project.
