1/35 40’ French Gendarmes Set

Historical Context & Theme

The 1940 French Gendarmes Set brings together two figures representing members of the Gendarmerie Nationale during the Battle of France. These military police were vital in maintaining discipline, directing convoys, and ensuring order during the fast-moving and chaotic events of the 1940 campaign.

Depicting gendarmes in active duty and observation poses, this set reflects both their composure and authority in the face of wartime disorganization. Dressed in traditional dark blue uniforms, Adrian helmets, and equipped with sidearms and belts, the figures capture the distinctive appearance of France’s pre-war and early WWII law enforcement corps.

Figure Details & Realism

This 1/35 scale 3D printed resin set by Dynamo Models includes two highly detailed figures, each sculpted with natural posture and fine surface texture.
Uniform details — such as tunic folds, buttons, insignia, and leather accessories — are rendered with historical precision.

One figure adopts a more authoritative stance, ideal for directing troops or vehicles, while the other represents a watchful or conversational posture, providing balance and realism to group compositions.
The high-resolution 3D resin printing ensures every fold and edge is sharply defined, ready for precision painting and weathering.

Diorama & Display Use

Perfect for Battle of France, checkpoint, or rear-area control dioramas, this set integrates naturally with French infantry, cavalry, or vehicle kits from the same period.
These figures are ideal for creating scenes involving convoy management, road control, or interactions with civilians and soldiers.
Together, they convey the calm authority and professionalism characteristic of the French Gendarmerie in 1940.

Material & Customization

Printed in high-quality 3D resin, this set delivers crisp details and minimal cleanup before assembly.
Assembly and painting are required. Glue and paint are not included.
Painters can reproduce the dark navy-blue gendarmerie uniform, polished black leather belts, and metallic helmet insignia for historical accuracy.
