Excuse me, this is about Russian 4 BO and T34's :smiling3: No StuGs allowed

StuG's not allowed, :anguished: they are impossible to ban, T 34' do not like a StuG up.em! I need to continue your StuG education

Si, Jim and I were trying to work out the increased speed, distance and alternate trajectories to pinged parts on a post by Ron aka 570 .But he was up stairs so the wind had to be taken into consideration.
The Floor tile Monster is indeed dangerous breed, I have had little or no dealings with it , but have content battles of hide and seek with it's cousin the Vinyl Matt Monster. This creature is to be found in caves with osb floors, it is highly camouflaged, and small parts of PE have never been seen again.
Yours 453 .

Dear Bob, my I ask who chased to StuG all the way back to Berlin, well those that didn't fall or run out of fuel , why the mighty T34 .
I shall send you the T34 manuel so you can enlighten your self .
Regards .

Excuse us Si.
Now look here, if your lot got cold and went home early because the snow was just too much for your petrol engines and the gear boxes froze up it's not our fault.
We were much happier minding our own business trying to keep alive with a mad man in power with out falling out with a bunch of leather trouser wearing men , many with silly little caterpillars on their top lips .

Stug drivers never wear leather trousers, oh the chaffing:sad: i do not know who was the madder

All I know is a great deal of life was lost on both sides, mostly by people who didn't want to be there .:crying:

[BattleshipBob]

Very, very true. Grateful for the people who stood tall and wiped them off the face off the earth.

Still like StuG"s thou

[Si Benson]

Well I missed all this :smiling5:

Maybe we should design a StuG-34, hybrid of the two! :thinking: :smiling5:

Moving swiftly on......a rather hectic week at work, so was glad to relax and spend some time at the bench making stuff dirty.



The tracks and running gear where weathered with a combination of acrylic mud stuff, enamel products and pigment.




Very close to being done now, wand to add a few subtle scratches and some dirt to the upper parts.
thanks for looking, all comments welcome.

[JR]

Apologies Si for butting in on this brilliant build. :smiling3::upside:

[Steve Jones]

Great weathering my friend. Tracks have come out really well. Will you be rusting up the exhausts?

Thanks very much mate, it was all a bit trial and error with the track muck.
Yes, there will be some subtle weathering of the tailpipes and surrounding area ....but no flipping camo schemes, before you ask :smiling5::smiling5: lmao.

[Steve Jones]

but no flipping camo schemes, before you ask :smiling5::smiling5: lmao.
