German WW1 Tanks

[monk2002uk]

Here are some views of the German A7V (supplied by Great War Miniatures) and a Mk IV Beutepanzer (from Old Glory). The Beutepanzer has been modified with a forward-firing T-Gewehr anti-tank rifle, from the ICM German infantry weapons and equipment plastic kit set. The tank crew comprise Old Glory figures. The decals came from Brigade Games.

They are lovely  .

Well as lovely as a several ton killing machine/death trap can be!

Robert,

Do you have a blog with more pics on? I'm just starting my Late WWI venture and could do with all the painting resources I can lay my hands on!

I've got a few Ospreys but the imagery seems very subjective and varies from book to book.

Or is there anything in print that has a lot of Late WWI German uniforms as a feature?

Darrell.

Really nice colour schemes 

Darrell - Presumably you have come across the Landships site?

Thanks Darrell,

Here are some of my figures, FWIIW. You can make out some variations in the uniform and helmet colours.

The main uniform guides that have lots of examples cost an arm and a leg. Happy to suggest some if price is not a problem.

Hi Robert,

Please suggest away.... I'll see how I am after Salute and make my mind up if I can afford it 

Great looking units 

Darrell.

World War I Infantry in Colour Photographs by Mirouze is excellent, and with a bit of persistence you can probably find a decent used copy for a reasonable price.

Holy Muck Shifters Batman!

You were not kidding about the expense... I think I'll have a word with Dave Lancaster (of Dave Lancaster Books strangely!) , who I know well and see if he can conjure up something for me.

Thanks for the summary of books and here's to praying that he has something suitable from your list!  

Darrell.
