We chose to show our Mephisto during the first attack of the A7V, on the 21st April 1918. For the fighting on the 21st March, it is more than likely that it was decorated with a skull at the front and no christened name was carried.We used a roughly sculpted styrene block, which was covered with plaster bands found in a chemists. To show the muddy and moonlike appearance of the ground, I covered the base with a mix of white glue and ground coffee, this gives a deep brown colour, with a grainy aspect. When this was dry, several brown washes were spread over the surface, and several brushes of lighter tones (beige, yellow, green, light grey...). Then to finish the work, pastels were used here and there, all the traces being worked out with a brush. The layout of the trenches is made using wooden sticks which came from a fast food shop.
