My First Serious Attempt at Weathering a WWII Tank
PAK 40 Crew, Base and Assembly
Along the way while painting the tank I also started work on the crew and extras for the PAK 40. The kit came with everything you see here except the base and the building, which I had left over from another project. After finishing the tank I came back to the building and painted the plaster and the ground. I dry fit the PAK and the men and placed everything around them in a way that was narratively pleasing. I then glued the men in afterwards once they were’t in the way of my fat fingers. Tufts were then applied,and so was varnish.
While the tank and the PAK 40 appear to be fine models I would have to say that the humans were not as good sculpts. They do the job but they feel like after thoughts. Like base decorations, rather than part of the main focus. Collectively it all looks cool though.
The final result
