Old Glory A7V - Crosses Added

Fueled by a recent The Great War game, crosses were finally added to the Old Glory A7V tank that was painted sometime ago.
The crosses were painted on since I wasn't sure if the available decals would fit in the tighter areas. Still need to give the tank a name; was going with Mephisto, but then I'd need to paint the little devil guy and the area on the original doesn't match the model. The model has the covered view ports where the actual one doesn't.
Speaking of The Great War - my buddies and I have a game scheduled this coming Saturday; probably a play-test for game next month at Museum of Flight.

  2. Awesome paint job and the cross looks great, but I think it is actually called a "cross pattée", not a Maltese cross.

    Ah, you're probably right, Frank. I'll change the title. Thanks, Dean

  5. yes great free hand on the crosses, the tracks need some weathering though, some rust and mud.

  7. Thank you all very much for the nice comments!

    Anibal: It's 25/28mm - can't say how it compares with other A7V's on the market, but it was a good deal from OG when I had the Army Membership. So far, it's been used with Warhammer's The Great War rules. Pretty simple rules - for shooting: 24" range using a blast marker; can't get any simpler than that :)! Best, Dean
