Well, guys---I've been working hard, and I had a stroke of GREAT luck. The only thing that was really bugging me about this build was that I didn't have any engine screens for the deck--well I was going through my 1/72 parts box and found these......uh,...I"m not sure what they were, but when I apparently put them in there, I knew that they had te perfect sized weave to use as screens! So.....voila'! WE'VE GOT SCREENS!! (Oh yeah, and I also got the Feifel hoses on...)
They must have had something to do with eyeglasses or something--well, now they're the final detail that I was missing. 
I cut them to shape, and then sunk them in some oil paint...
...test-fitted them....yeah, baby!
And glued them on with white glue... You'll also note that I've added scratches and some grime ala' oil washes and chipping. Nothing fancy here, just the standard pin washes and a little sponge-chipping. I also put a tiny bit of pigments on the tracks inside. I resisted putting them all over the wheels because I thought they would just obliterate any weathering that had been done, and I kinda rather liked the look of the wheels.
Next, I painted up a MIG figure. Since the Sturmtiger was used in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1944, and since I'm portraying it as used AFTER this fact--like possibly in the subsequent Ardennes conflict?--the SS figure sporting a summer pant/winter coat mix seemed appropriate--or at least excusable. This little sucker was a chore to paint!
I used a combination of Craft Store acrylics, Tamiya, Vallejo, Pactra and Testor's paint---basically anything I thought I could use to mix the colors I wanted. Oh yeah--and I used an 8x Optivisor with 5x reading glasses under that! Here's a size comparison:
And so here's the model basically finished---excuse that stupid shell cradle that I deformed by touching it--it's only made of lead foil. I'll bend it back after I post this, and before the base is done up. Enjoy! And if you see anything I missed, call it out guys!!
And the new Third Reich "Wunderwaffen" (wonder weapon"): The Giant Bottle of Death! Paint the entire town in Testor's "Rubber"! BWA-HA-HAAA!!!! 
Well, it's not over yet! I still have a base to make up--something simple; I should get it done over the weekend. I hope I've shown how a 1/72 model can be just every bit as fun and eye-catching as one of its "bigger brothers"? Ya'all should try one!
All comments and suggestions always heartily welcomed!!
