Well guys, here it is, my first and possibly last vBench.
I bought Dragon's PAK 40 with HEER gun crew and didn't know what to do with it. It also has to be said that I'm not very skilled at this but I do enjoy trying. I decided I wanted to put into some kind of context. Here I should point out I have no idea whether these weapons were used in the Ardennes in the winter of 44/45 but that's the look I'm going for. It's really just an effort to see if I can do it justice.
Anyway, below are a few photo's of progress so far, long way still to go and I would appreciate any comments.
First one's just the groundwork as it stands so far. Still much to do.
The next few are with the PAK 40 in its approximate position.
The shell casing it stands on is a British 2.95 inch casing dated 1907. This equates to 74.93mm. Just thought it was something a bit different to the norm and a fair use of a hefty lump of brass I've had lying around for years.
The last shot is of my helper, Duke. He's good at finding small items that have fallen into the clutches of the carpet monster. Problem is, he'll pick them up on his tongue and show me, then pop his tongue back in his mouth and swallow.
Well that's it for now, as I said this is my first real attempt at anything like this and I need all the help I can get.
Regards,
Kev.
