StuG. Group Build. 1/1/2011- 6/30/2011

DetailFreak and TigerEP1 -- hey, I got both of those! The F/8 is about half done and some PE is on order...

Cheers, Mike/TB379

looks like you've just about got this onein the history booksww2psycho, any plans for crew members or stowage?

got most of the wheels done, i'll finsh them tonight, thinking tracks over the nxt week, might start some priming too.

Dale,

I just used the Cavalier set on a Tiger 1 Mid Production for an Armorama campaign.  That stuff is REALLY nice.  Also came with a resin mantle and resin turret escape hatch pre-Zimm'd and a tool to make your own for connecting up the resin pieces around the hull.

Atak,and Cavalier make some really nice resin zimm sets,I've used both. Looking forward to seeing this build.

detailfreak, TigerEP1, got you guys down on the roll call

Welcome aboard

ww2psycho, looks like you've been busy bud! Coming along great

The deep wading StuG is supposed to be on it's way.. Gonna see what's in the box for sure before deciding on PE or not, lol. May have to grab some A.M. Zimm though. Did some home made Zimm on a Tiger before but that's a bit different than a StuG. But until then, a "teaser"

More later

Dale

Heres what I have so far. Still need to do the wheels, drive sprocket, and tracks. Most everything else is done. tools will be painted seperatly and put on later. I'm hoping to get the wheels done this weekend, tracks next weekend.

pic of the kit, ill get more after i make room ...lol

Looks like i will be able to join this as well, thanks to a certain someone...

I will be doing the Dragon 1/35 Stug Ausf. G Mostly OOB with the exception of some Eduard PE (plus the PE and aluminum barrel included in the kit. )

I still have a panzer to finish as well..lol

Ok,here it is. I will try to keep it oob. One of my refs

dont count me in yet. If i do it i will do the trumpeter 1/72 stug III. If i do join, i should have it finished around early march maybe late February.

Dale, Here's a shot of the Stug in the box,

 The plans are to included a few aftermarket goodies from the vaults of the Bunker. Cavalier waffle pattern zim, lion roar PE, and a couple of figures if possible.

[View:/themes/fsm/utility/:550:0]

 I'll try to post a photo of the vehicle I'm trying to model. It will be more of a culmination of vehicles from the 276th Stug Brigade than any specific one. Some of the reference material I've been researching.

 Hope that a small dio is ok. Things are kinda busy in the Bunker at the moment, try to post updates when possible.

TigerEp1, something might turn up for ya soon bud. Keeping all fingers crossed.

ww2psycho,   I'm sorta in the same situation... been busy as can be at the shop with 1/1 paint work. Haven't even done anything on the Panther A in a week and a half.

Still lot's of time in the GB  ....  And I still have to get my StuG. started at least

Dale

Ive started mine, but Im focusing more on the Mig15 for the Korean War GB before I do anymore, nothing worth sharing really.

Man I would love to get in on this but atm i cant afford another kit..lol If things change in the next week i'll let you know.

For now i will be watching this =D

Gotcha dostacos.

Welcome aboard bud!

Dale

please add me to the list, I will be building a StuG III Ausf.B in 1/48 tamiya

Here it is Gents..... the 1st of the new year... Well, there's still an hour and a half to go where I'm sitting.

Hope you all have a great New Year, complete many fine kits, and have fun.

StuG Group Build is on!! 

Dale

You've got it Mobious 

Thanks for joining in

Dale

 Dale, I'm in with the 1/35 Tamiya G.

 Mo

Glad to add your name bud... That kit is going to be nice to follow along with.

Gotcha down on the roll call Mike, and glad to have ya along!

Always thought the Ambush camo was one of the best looking

Dale

I reckon, Dale -- I built one of those last year and it fell together -- maybe not as detailed as modern kits, and I had to box in the sponson on the right as I wanted the loader's hatch open, but the finished model looked pretty darn good and was heaps of fun to do. I'm looking forward to another, and the Academy boxing from the early 90s has markings for an Ambush scheme with the schkurtzen off, so that'll be the one!

Cheers, MIke/TB379

Good to have ya guys!

Mike,  That an affirmative on entry?     First Wehrmacht 3-tone sounds like something to look forward to!

Decisions like that one are always good though Matt. Welcome aboard!

What scale are the kits?

Dale

I'm in.  Either Tamiya's StuG IIIB with the aluminum barrel and PE screens or the StuG IIIG Early Production from Dragon Expo 08.  Decisions, decisions...

Thanks, Dale, should be heaps of fun -- my Academy (Tamiya) StuG IV should be coming in sometime in the next month or so and I look forward to doing my first ever Wehrmacht 3-tone scheme, maybe with windblown leaf spots for that real "Ambush" look!

Cheers, Mike/TB379
