here is my latest build, a bit of a quick one due to lack of time, it affects us all i guess. its tamiyas stug III.b kit built out of the box with the only addition being a set of fruil tracks i already had in the spare's box, after the cat thought it would be fun to play with a nashorn!

here are a couple of pic's after weathering and befor i have done the pigments on it. i'm waiting for a jar of mig pigment fixer to compleat it.





any advice glady recived,
cheers

The pictures look a little fuzzy,but from what I can see,the build looks pretty nice.

The one piece of advice I could give is,never let a build be a quick one due to lack of time,you don't have to rush it,nobody is waitng delivery,just take your time and enjoy your hobby when you have the time,and when it,s done-it's done,and you won't feel like you were rushed.

like anthony said take your time
but that is a very nice looking stug you got there.
will you be putting it in a diorama??
add abit of stowage on the back against the hull some jerry cans some spares you have in the box or come with the tank a rifle leaning up against it or two
always makes them stand out abit more and adds more variation to it

but keep up the good work dont rush your builds its no fun then!!

hi
thanks for the replys. about it being a quick build, i simply ment i chose a nice simple tamiya kit rather than a more complex kit like a dragon kit, that takes abit more thought to build. the tamiya kit fly's together. and yes sorry the pic's aint great, the camaras new, still playing about with the settings.
anyway, yes it will eventuly be going on a diorama, i have ordered this miniart base


and this mig figure to be going through the gate.

hi
thanks. i haven't built the interior as i wanted it shut down, but it looked good, a little simple but all the key details seam to be there, i belive edward do a photo-etch set for the interior too.

cheers

Neill. Looks pretty good ... pity the images weren´t clearer ... keep working on the camera ... it pays off in the end. Its not easy to make comments, as the images are not sharp ... but some washes around details to give them more depth would help IMO.
