WWI German tank, A7V, Part II

Last part for our 10mm A7V for the Kaiser' s infantry.
After the camouflage we used a small amount of dark washing, handpainted
the national insignias and as final touch a light cream drybrush.
Obviously final matt varnish... ;-)

Part I

Ultima parte per il nostro A7V in 10mm per la fanteria del Kaiser.
Dopo la mimetizzazione abbiamo usato un po' di washing scuro e poi abbiamo dipinto le insegne di nazionalità. Come tocco finale un drybrush con del crema chiaro.
Ovviamente vernice protettiva opaca... ;-)

  1. Brilliant! It looks perfect. I've built that model myself and it's not that straightforward to paint - you'll done a great job!

    1. Thank you Sid :-) In effect the camouflage for the A7V is a complicated one...and I don't like the "grey only" scheme...luckily my german army needs only one tank ;-) for the Pz8 rules. But there will be some problems with the next three camouflaged FT-17 :-)

      Marzio.

  2. It's all those washes at the end steps that really bring your work together. I'm loving that skull and crossbones on the front of that tank!

    1. Thank you Anne. It' s always the final step that brings "to life" a miniature. I painted so many miniatures in so many years but this "last step" always wonders me ;-)

      The name of this A7V was Faust and "his" serial number 503... skull and crossbones were "his" distinctive signs. It was scrapped in 1918. :-)

      Marzio.
