Flames Of War - German Grenadier PaK 40, painted and based.

Today's post will focus on progress I've made on the Open Fire starter set - and in particular the German PaK40 anti-tank gun.

Step one = paint the German gun crew just like the figures in the previous post, with a selection of GW (metal) P3 (wood and leather) and Vallejo (uniforms).



Troops on a stick.



Step two = paint the gun, just like the StugG.



Two step.



Step three = dry fit on base. Then add a little GW mud effect textured paint over base.

Step four = build up a small dry-wall out of bits of slate. I used superglue then repainted the rocks to cover the glue marks.

Step five = cover base and any gaps/holes with thin layer of Stirland Mud from GW.



With dry brushed wall.



Step 6 = Add clumps of grass. Not that happy with the GW grass clumps, the colour is a bit useless but from a distance and at eye-level, it's OK.

Step seven = add rest of static grass and sand/mud effect under wheels and loading area of gun.

Step eight = Add gun and ...

All in all, a decent day's work.
