One day at a time lol

Nice to see you are off and running Bob. Some very tidy work on the lower hull. Great to see the base already. Its going to be a terrific build.

Much appreciated Steve, hope you and family are ok

To be fair enjoying it so time for a dio:upside::upside: got to think what else to add as its a big base??

[BattleshipBob]

Evening all

Bit more time at the bench, had to modify the front plate as its for a Dragon Pz 111F so would not fit the StuG. Loosely attached the superstruture. Needs a bit more fettling (love that word). Had to remove the headlight supports but the towing pintles and headlights should cover the sanded area.

Added rear panel and working on the engine deck, lots of small parts!



Have ordered another kit for the dio, of course knocked out by the StuG!

Hope its looking the part??

A very tidy build Bob. Looking forward to seeing what the cannon fodder will be.

Looking more like a Stug III now. Do we get to know what the knocked out prey is? Or are you keeping it as a surprise?!
Looking good so far
Cheers

Feeling better thanks, taking its time but i think my current health issues are not helping.

Did a bit more today, no surprise a knocked out T34 / 76. Got the cheap oldie Tamiya on order.

Will give me practice on both ref shell impacts etc

Bob,
Looking good, and learning a lot about Stugs.
Mike.

[BattleshipBob]

Thank you Mike

Glad you find the history bit of interest:thumb2:

[BattleshipBob]

This is just an idea for the dio, opinions please??

A knocked out T34 which has knocked down a telegraph pole. Then the StuG passing it going over rubble, hope the moveable suspension works



Any ideas or advice chaps!!

Bob

[Steve Jones]

I'm not a dio person I'm afraid Bob but I know JR is doing special deals on his bricks from his own brickwork's if your interested :smiling2:

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Bob, the idea is sound, but I don’t think the telegraph pole would break like that. I think it would more likely break at the base and fall away from the tank, or just be pushed over.
