This is my third model in about 15 years. Last November I did an Italari M110 to give to a friend as a gift then a Tamiya M5A1 Stuart. I was pretty happy with the M110 and the Stuart is a test bed for learning.

I am not quite happy with the StuG III. I Have some MIG Pigments on the way and they will be new to me. It is also the first time I have ever used PE parts and Magic Track. I liked the Magic track and had very few problems with them. I feel like it went together ok and have started my next project which I will post as I make a bit of progress. Please feel free to give me some pointers to help me improve my work.

I like it (also have the Stug of Dragon, and I choose for it the same markings), I only add some dust in the chassis. The overall look are very good!

Thank you for the kind words. I have a ways to go before I am up to the level of many of the people on this forum. That is fine with me because it's all about the journey. I am have plenty of fun and it's a great break after a hard day at work.

Hi Albert,

Looks pretty good to me, and if you hadn't said so I wouldn't have thought "only his 3rd tank in 20 years".

Try taking your photos against a plain background (preferably blue, with natural light if you can). I'm no ace photographer myself, but you should find that it does your models better justice than having a load of workbench clutter as a backdrop.
