...more photos of my Stug III with winter camo'-walkaround model

dupes:  I'm going to start a new post in armor about a winter camo' tutorial, please read.

zokissima:  There is no formal tutorial yet, see comment to dupes, above.  Look in my post, "Completed Stug III, Krupp Protze and Quad Tractor", in there I responded to "kcmat" about the snow on the Stug, and how I did the tarp on the Krupp in response to "the doog".

waikong: Thanks for your comments.  See comment to dupes, above.

I'm in the "Winter Warriors" group build, I'll do a tutorial on my Panther G if there's enough interest by the forum members.

I for one can't wait to see said tutorial.

Thanks for posting more pics - pretty spectacular build you've got there!

zokissima,

Thanks, it's great to have people notice the time spent.  The exhaustive details are what elevates us to the next level.

Just a beautiful winter finish. I always admire a painted result that obviousy exhibits the attention to detail.

Make that 14 and I am headed to Taipei the week after Christmas with $$ in hand to find more.

I've seen some pretty incredible stuff from some top notch modelers who frequent the Forum.  Thanks for considering my work worthy enough to join that group.

10 tanks!!!, that's quite an arsenal...you'll be busy for awhile.

SMJ:

You are more than welcome, your work is worthy of many compliments, IMHO it is right up there with the greats that frequent this site. I never was interested in tanks until I started reading this forum. Now I have at least 10 tanks to build. In Taiwan there is a company called Skybow that makes them, and I got one  free from a friend of mine. Also the LHS has some interest in this company, possibly co-owner ? Anyway I need to pick up a few practice kits. Thanks for your repsonse and hope you do a step by step soon.

Snake Doc',

Thanks for the compliment.  I'm in the "Winter Warriors" group build, I"ll do a tutorial on my Panther G if there's enough interest by the forum members.  I have been getting some real nice feed back on the Stug and would be honored to share how I do weathering and winter camo' on that project.

SMJ

That is really an outstanding job of weathering. If you decide to do another winter camo one, I for one would like to see you do a step by step tutorial.

Ed

Thanks doog.

Hey, I haven't seen your name in either the "Winter Warriors" or "War in the Desert" group builds...are you planning to jump in!?

Jester75,

Just to clarify...not referencing you're work from my bio' in any way.  I just really like how you tell what you're working on currently, and what you have plans to build.  Great idea!

I'll go check out your stuff soon...thanks for the links.

Sure, Ill post the links to the posts as to not steal your thread here....

And last, this is theTamiya B that I built a while back, the only one that was actually finished!!

Thanks man and steal away!!!!!! I have waaaaay too many interests and hobbies thats for sure!!

 To the StuG, one tough squat looking piece of armor!!

Jester75,

Thanks man!!!  From your list of "on the bench", you ARE a StuG fan! Ever built a Stug III Ausf G Early?  That's on my list.  Any pictures to share?

I like those lists at the end of your bio'...I'm stealing that idea and adding it to my bio.  I think it lets people know your tastes, might get conversations going.

Here's to Stug's!!!

DHM,

 What do you like to build? What scale?

biffa,

Thanks man!  I think dupes said you're the one wrestling with the snow chains or starting some chain brigade.  Did you see the ones I put on my Krupp? Go check them out in my post in armor (Completed projects: Stug III...) 

How did you make your chains.  Have any photos to share?
