Finance-Zwölfe¶
I basecoated the whole model in 74.602 Black Primer.
The wall was then airbrushed in
- 73.601 Grey Primer
- 71.001 White where I tried to leave some areas darker to create some pre-shading, like the edges of the door where it meets the wall.
Next I painted the woodgrain of the door with... well... 70.828 Woodgrain - what else?
The wood colour I painted with the aptly named 70.834 Natural Wood. This is a very translucent colour, as you can see on the first two pictures. I applied 3 coats in total. These coats also made the woodgrain blend more into the wood colour.
The missing item is the Kontenschlüssel (literally: account key, 'account determination'). This I constructed from plastic rod and some thin clear plastic packaging. Working with clear plastic proved a bit difficult at times, with me searching for the cut pieces all the time... The teeth of the key are done in the form of a T - like in t-account where you post debit and credit. The key is carried on a key ring, which I bent and cut from a glitter ball hook.
Finally for today, I painted the folders.
- 70.947 Red
- 70.962 Flat Blue
- 71.002 Yellow The hole in the back and the front lower edges are metal rimmed, painted in 71.064 Steel.

The key ring was painted in 71.064 Steel and the key in 70.801 Brass
The door frame was painted in a mix of
- 71.071 Arctic Blue
- 72.155 Heavy Charcoal
The door handles were painted in
- 71.064 Chrome
The sign is basically white, but to contrast it with the white wall à used
- 70.986 Deck Tan
As a final step to the Zwölfe herself, I airbrushed her in gloss vanish, then washed her in oils:
- W&N Raw Umber key
- W&N Lamp Black I applied a blacklining to distinguish areas from another.
- W&N French Ultramarine Hair and wings.

I painted the carpet in 70.867 Dark Bluegrey, then tried to recreate the pattern on our office carpet with 72.047 Wolf Grey. While I am quite happy with the colour choice, the pattern I lightly brished on does not look like the original... but I guess it is colourwise still recognisable.

The Zwölfe was sprayed in gloss varnish from a spray can, then with matt varnish. When this was dry, the gems were painted with 70.510 Gloss Varnish with a brush to give them a more glass like appearance.
Final touch was the sign at the front:
Finance-Zwölfe bringt den neuen Kontenschlüssel
literally:
Finance-Zwölfe delivers new account key
Finance-Zwölfe delivers new account determination
Then I glued the miniature in place, putting her foot on the pile of folders.
Here is the final result:
And with the dome in place:
Finished just in time to be handed over tomorrow :-)

Today was the day! I placed the gift on the colleague's table before she arrived; when she opened it, she surprisingly immediately knew whom it was from - it could have been from anyone, couldn't it...? ;-)
She came laughing to my office carrying the glass dome and thanked me exuberantly, all the time laughing and discovering new details.
And thus looks the happy beneficiary :-)
Happy Christmas!
