Nice work, Gary. I like the busy look with the stowage.

Nice looking StuG IV, Cam. The camouflage, dusty look and the foliage look great!
Just be careful with your base. When you place it on the base the middle road wheels does not touch the tracks. They float in the air because the base is uneven.

Marc.....OOOUUUCCCHHH!!!!!!! That was a BAD day!

Im calling the Stug Finished!





I noticed after every thing was in place that the barbed wire is out of scale but if i take it off ill have to repair CA glue marks, so it stays....for now. Now ill start the figs and decide what type base to do.

Jeff, ill post a couple pics of the Tank itself in the Campaign gallery. Thanks man!

@PantherF – Jeff, sorry about the long delay in replying back to you! Thanks a bunch for letting all us know a Stug build part II is in store, I’ll be ready for that one!

@BBD468 – Gary, you’ve gone and done it again! That is a Stug’elicious looking build. Seriously you need to slow down and let the modeling world catch up with you, hihi!

An absolute delight my Jedi master!! a particular props to the weathering. You got just the right amount on, Bravo. How did you get those small clumps of dirt on?

@asmodeuss – Philippe,

What the #&*%! You know better than to ask our Jedi master such a question in front of the whole world, you know he had a sudden Mac-attack during the weathering and those are bits of sesame seeds that he hastily forgot to wipe away before the photo shoot!

Really, how did you do that master?

Hi Marc ...Just a little thought on your Warriors figure..I bought that figure a while ago and was going to place it on one of my tanks..My wife took one look at it and said that he was wrong ...I said what ??? and she asked me to try and raise my foot higher than my knee... she was right ,you can't do it...I know you're all trying it at home while reading this . But it is still a darn nice looking figure. Just something to think about..

AH! Don't believe it!

I'm 53 and a longtime weekend warrior I have no problem flexing like that.

Plus, these figures represent men a lot younger than most of us. So they can pose like that.

For the record, that's Gary's Figure.
I thought i was in the wrong campaign thread, as i do have a Warriors fig for the APC campaign.
