Karl Logan shows how to build an accurate Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär, and how to weather it to great effect. Thanks Karl.

Nice one, Karl Thank you for the in-depth SBS on your finishing techniques. Way too much for me to absorb in one reading, this one is getting bookmarked! Thanks again for all the time you spent to share this with us.

Very nice feature Karl. Great work on the additions, painting and weathering as well. The Brumbar turned out really well, as did the Miniart figure. Nice one.

Karl - thanks for that useful feature. You've done a fantastic job on that kit.

I've just started work on an AFV Club "Sturmtiger" , and since that beast isn't entirely dissimilar to your Grizzly, you've given me one or two new ideas to try out on it.

Although I don't build Germen armour, I do have to say you've done an excellent job on the kit and the article.
Thanks for taking the time to write it and sharing it with everyone.

Karl,

A first rate piece of ART!!! You've captured the look and ruggedness of that beast of a tank. My favorite tank happens to be the Strumtiger and as Steve mentions, "and since that beast isn't entirely dissimilar to your Grizzly", I just had to go out and add one to my stash.

Excellent article with plenty of great photos. This is exactly why I come here to ARMORAMA. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your build with all of us out here on the net. I will be trying some of your techniques on my builds. I especially like your use of figures on your builds. This adds life and scale to your subject vehicle making it all the more interesting.

TOTOALLY INSPIRATIONAL. . . Keep up the excellent work!
