Bob's Dragon 1/35: StuG 111 Ausf G

[Allen Dewire]

Evening Bob,

Waffle Zimm looks pretty good there. Having the same probs with my dragon destructions (make no sense). I have never used a CMK kit, but at least yours is for a Dragon kit and not Tamiya....You go!!!!

Hi Allen already found problems such as wrong part numbers:tired:

Bash at the engine bay next, big test for me!

[Allen Dewire]

Hi Bob,

Yup, the same here with the part numbers. It's like a soup sandwich. I also started on my CMK engine compartment and it looks like it will work out well without too much butchery at all.

Just be careful with the resin pour stubs as some are rather large. I hope you have a JLC razor saw and maybe an extra blade to cut them off. It's best to do this wet as the resin dust is nasty. If not, then please wear a mask. I hope to post some pics tomorrow,,,

[BattleshipBob]

Thanks for the advice Allen, i have that saw, should be fun!!

[Mr Bowcat]

That looks like a nice kit Bob, and a fair few parts. Watching with interest.

[BattleshipBob]

Evening Bob, good kit well detailed but yes lots and lots of parts and a lot not used:upside:

[Steve Jones]

Sorry for the late arrival Bob. I asked security where the Stug build was being done and 38 posts later I finally found you. What have you started! LOL

Looks like you have plenty to keep you going for 6 months and some. Your brain must hurt with all that reference work you have been doing. I hope you have a trouble free build. Good luck

Nice one Bob

[Ian M]

Looks like you will be busy plenty to build on having won the longest thread title EVER!
First prize? a choice between washing up or peeling the spuds for a month!

The waffle zim definitely looks good! Like what I see so far, and would love a crack at this kit myself some day.

[BattleshipBob]

Hi Steve, did you get the PM? Might need a extension to the 6 months lol. Enjoyed the research, been practicing by picking a random photo and working out its build etc, really do need tablets:upside:

Ian, famous at last, washing up please, keeps my nails clean and shiny lol. Terrible prize by the way :worried:

Will let you know soon enough:surprised:

Great project Bob and a nice start at tacking the Dragon bits, good luck sifting through all the spues for your parts :thumb2: .

Ta very much! My labelling system on the sprues is working well, at least the letters now stand out

Bob,
Off to a fine start. Are the torsion bars workable or just for show?

Thanks Scottie

They can be, you cut off a small pin on the arm. Might cut a few to see how much movement there is?
