If you put Candy in front of a Child they will eat it. Put a opportunity to build a Stug in front of Bob he will build it

Well I was the least surprised that he has shown a StuG, I mean what else could he possibly build. No I wasn't going to cause him nightmares thinking of a StuG that beautiful colour.:smiling3:

[Lee Drennen]

John. I’m sure Bob will be relived of that. In his Build Poll I can’t believe his “Groupies” didn’t go for a Stug. That’s like a famous Singer not singing there hit song.

Hi, even as a mothballed kit, the Hellcat is only 40% finished if you include installing the details like the stowage, mantlet water proofing, accessories and painting and weathering. I have left the turret detachable for painting the exposed interior. Here's what it looks like dismantled with a whole sprue to add the accessories...no PE or resin as I'm going to do the Simon thingy of scratching and improvising.



What you don't see above is the unseen stuff like two part putty, gauze, tissue, white glue, CA, wire, driveway dirt, pewter but in this case I will be using copper sheet and one or two drops of blood if I'm not careful.

I hope this makes the finish line.

Cheers,
Richard

A 4BO StuG, 4 BO good god Mr Race you know how to hurt!!!!!!

Planning to correct the faults and add lots of spare wheels, tracks etc. Not based on a picture but a few.

Late as usual... but I made up my mind on what to build for this very special GB (my first GB, by the way) and after a prolonged and almost unfathomable thinking (if thinking is the due word to describe what my grey matter so strenuously strives to do ... ) the winner is...

I think I will paint it like the one below

That peculiar veihicle has a special meaning to me, so I think it's the right choice for this memorial GB.
