Hey DeafStuG!

I am so excited to have another deaf modeler here.  Glad you like it so far!  Yes, it is a resin figure but it came from Alpine... one of early releases I believe because its details are not as sharp as recent releases.  

You can go back further you will find my recent build StuG III Ausf F/8 if you are interested.

Carsanab- Easy, just move into my basement as long as you bring your entire stash... I will let you use my workbench during day time only.  8-)  Hope you get to settle soon...

DeafStuG- Found link to my previous build StuG III F/8... thought you would like to see since you are a big fan of those StuGs.

Worked on the figure today... I was hooked to the Olympics.  Stick out tongue  It is almost completed... I only need to finish his face.  Not my favorite part.  

I toned down the weariness of the jacket so it looks better now.  Have a great Sunday!

Oooooh, thanks for the heads up! Since my move, I have fallen out of the loop, lol. Funny thing, too, because my new LHS (I now have two LHS's to choose from!) just had a huge sale, and I got a cyberhobby Panther for $20. I may join this GB.

Mike- Way to go!  I have seen you signing up for that GB.  You will enjoy it again.  

Armor86- Awesome!  Looking forward to your update.  No update from me... my deaf brother visiting for few days and too much time watching the Olympics.  Yep, I am very fortunate to have a deaf brother!

Thanks Carl!  Always good hearing from you.  Actually my figure is finally done just in time before my parents are in town visiting.  

Hope y'all like it... kept him as pale as possible because it was in the middle of winter.  

Next to my favorite beer... Danish Tuborg!  Unfortunately not available here in USA. 

Now I can return to my Pz III build for final dash to the finish line.  Thanks for looking!

Armor86, that is looking amazing! I keep coming back to this GB to check out the progress, and everytime I see something awesome! Just curious, how much longer does this thing go?

And for those of you who have seen the Dos Equis commercials:
