Hi Wouter. There is light at the end of the dark tunnel! Spent ages this morning practicing pe on scrap plastic. The Youtube videos i found great, especially applying the glue, actually seeing it being done really helped, even made a frame without swearing or a melt down lol.

Oh we all have moments like those. Swearing is part of etchwork...a lot LOL

I had better find that swear box and head ache tablets lol Wouter !!

Bob,
The build has progressed 100%, the art of etch comes with practice and a lot of crawling all over the floor - my missus thinks I am very religious - always on my knees with head down near the carpet, you gain a new sense of aromas down there.....
Keep up the good work.
Cheers, Mike.

Hi Mike, many thanks. Yep PE is a pain, trying to work out how to change a small flat piece into the top of a clamp and trying thankfully ruined a few pieces of scrap PE into scrap lol. Yes, a few vanished despite them being shiny and bright. Started to explore at close quarters how the carpet is made!!!


Finished the build, pray mat worked lol.

In primer and drying in the booth but forgot a photo. Friday is panzer grey time.

Next up is the first combat ready Ausf the A. Will start a new thread.

Stug fever on the rise lol!

Another master class in the building of a Stug Bob. Wonderful work as always. Cant wait to see the wet stuff on it.

Far too kind Steve! Good to hear from you.

Not doing modelling for a while my meaque skills went all rusty, leading to far too many misstakes. Hopefully the Stug A build will be much improved!!

Thanks bob
