Forces Navales Francaises Libres Plaque 25mm

Forces Navales Francaises Libres Plaque 25mm

This is a diorama accessory from the Dynamo-Models range, not a vehicle kit and not a figure. The plaque carries the badge of the Free French Naval Forces, given in the name as Forces Navales Francaises Libres, and serves to mark a base, a display case or a finished scene. The size of 25 mm is given directly in the name; the same subject also comes out in a 40 mm variant, so go by the figure in millimeters when choosing.

Whom the badge is tied to

The Forces Navales Francaises Libres, that is the Free French Naval Forces, came about in 1940 from the ships and crews that after the defeat of France decided to go on fighting alongside the Allies. It was from this quarter that the proposal came to use the Cross of Lorraine as a common recognition mark, which then appeared on ships and on the vehicles of other French units.

How to use the plaque

A plaque belongs in a clearly visible place, most often on the front edge of a base or on the frame of a display case. Try the layout dry: the middle of the front edge reads formally, while shifting it toward the edge leaves room for a caption with the name of the scene. The badge comes out best on a plain and rather dark ground, because a broken-up surface visually breaks up its design. Leave a clear margin around the plaque so that it is not lost among the details of the diorama. Anyone who builds several scenes on one army will do well to keep the size of the plaques and their placing the same. The material and the surface finish are stated on the box, so choose the finishing procedure according to what you find in the package.

Who the accessory is for

• Builders of dioramas and display scenes
• Builders of ship models and harbor scenes on the subject of the Second World War
