WW2 1/56th scale German Pak40 75mm anti-tank gun

 I sold my SS Panzer Grenadier platoon quite some time ago, so I now need to paint a new force as an opponent for my Allied Platoons. 

Starting with a Wehrmacht German Panzer Grenadier Platoon, as usual I like to create a few vignettes to create a bit of an  atmosphere for the subject. I'm concentrating on the supports first, firstly a 75mm anti-tank gun, a pak40 from Warlord Games.  

The ammo box is scratch built out of plasticard, the plastic base an oval 115mm x 85mm with textured grass, static grass clumps made by yours truly and some rocks. 

Here comes the nerdy bit, I'm only going to put on the 'tank kills' stripe(s) when they occur in a game, I think it'll give the vignette a bit more life.

Anyhow I have a variety of German tow vehicles to finish off together with a towed 10.5cm leFH18 howitzer for the next post.  

Happy painting :)

Peter.
