"Elfriede"
« on: 09 January 2014, 06:34:08 PM »
When they first came out I purchased a Great War Miniatures A7V and a Mk. IV tank, when was that? 4 or 5 years ago or longer? Either way I decided it was high time to get them assembled and painted, first up is the A7V, which I decided to Christen "Elfriede" after my daughters doberman puppy.

 When I dug out my book on the A7V it turns out there was an actual "Elfriede", it was tank number 542 and served with the second abteilung, more on this together with details on painting it and more pics can be found on my blog.

A great looking tank. I think you have done a great job on painting and highlighting it. I particularly like the way you have painted all those sharp edges and rivets.

Well done.

Very cool.  8) 8)  I like your use of alternate colors over the standard grey. While grey was common, it was not the sole color in use on the originals.
