This diorama is based on a fake photograph. You can find a Photoshopped image of an A7V stuck in a trench, but it’s a composite image of the tank and another photograph of a trench.

But the faux reference image didn’t stop me from replicating the scene and adding some more unique elements to it. It was just the perfect excuse to present the model of the A7V in an original and attractive way.

I built the entire diorama from scratch and added a large field cross to act as a vertical element. But it has another meaning, too. This specific A7V Nr. 540 was nicknamed “Heiland” which means “Savior”. Get it? Savior, cross, the diorama is called Savior… eh? Eh? 🙂
