1/72 Pak 40 with crew / Roden 711 & PSC

[KellerModeller]

Hello all,
this is a model I bought during Corona, when the LMS / toy shop was accepting orders by phone that could then only be picked up through the window. I had seen it there during many visits in many years before. The Lady said "Sorry we do not have something like this". She had to be convinced on the phone to go and look again. Turned out I knew their inventory better than them and the Roden kit found a new home
I combined it with Pak crew figures, probably from PSC and I set up a small scene on house insulation foam cut to around 5mm in our kitchen bread slicing machine. I got caught doing this by my wife..















Thanks for looking!

A very nicely composed little scene KM. Does the bread slicer still work?

It does
But I was told to clean it

Lovely work. Some impressive precision with those helmets…

Nice job, and the use of expanding foam for the base is a great idea. I thought the heights had been reached when my eldest son began shopping at Waitrose (a proud moment) but a bread slicer? In your house? Crazy posh.

Great job and you deserve a medal for daring to use kitchen equipment for modelling purposes when your wife is around

It seems there are 2 misunderstandings
The insulating foam is cut from one of the foam boards that you screw & glue to the outside of a house for insulation.
And the bread slicer is not one of the big machines that bakeries use, but a small universal slicer / cutter that can also be used to cut sausages or cheese into slices, e.g.:

(It's not exactly that one, Just an example, I didn't want to put a picture from the web due to Copyright etc..)

I'm not that rich, I'm a poor guy having to pay off a house and feed a family

Superb vignette there KM, and the figure painting absolutely outstanding in this scale. I've never got hold of any PSC figures - they look very good.

Mmmmm... German sausages...

That's very a well done scene, and very well painted figures.

Thanks for your kind words, Gentlemen !!
