That pe looks awesome. I am sure some meticulous hours went into it. The fenders have helped me with my panzer build. The other set of straight parts goes on the outside. Glad I am following your amazing work. Can't wait to see more.

Wow!! A really outstanding build, in every way. I like it a lot.

Happy Modelling, -zon

thanks for a reply Matt. You are right, I spent on it about two months form buying it untill now - not every day of course. When I analysed photos almost none of the Stug's had straight fenders, so I bought this PE kit. I think it adds realism - so it's worth buying. Now I'm planning to focus on the resin crew figures and then - painting

Well done! You can tell you've put some hours in getting the kit and figures to what they look like. Keep up the good work.

Kevin

Thanks for the info on the tree....Kit looks excellent. Looking forward to the paint going on

Hi Pawel,

Everything looks great & you could never tell that is your first time using PE, i can tell just by what you have done already that this looks like a must see event!!

P.s We call your milling tool a motor tool or Dremel as one of the brands is called

Cheers Mike

This is really impressive, I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.

Thanks guys!
progres of works:
Stug crew is almost ready for paintig, here you can see some quick-made photos:

Hi Pawel Great work all round on the Stug. Suspension and tracks look good How have you been building your magic tracks? Small amounts at a time or one after the other? Great Dynamics with crew and troops Later Cheers Geraint

Pawel
love what you have done so far.
great choice of figures to go along with your stug. Excellent conversion modelling both to the figures and to the stug.
looking forward to the painting.
gerry

I prepare a let's say 4cm long part of tracks and when it is still plastic I am fitting it to the wheels and leave it for few minutes.
It is more closer to painting stage, so I'm wondering what colour should I use to paint crew uniform. I have to prepare my vallejo paints or buy some new one. Let's saty that the action presented in this diorama will take place on spring 1942. Does field grey with dark collar will be ok:

All of the information I have gathered points to the field grey with a dark collar.

Hi!
It's going really slowly becouse of lack of time but I managed to cover Stug with base colour. Next I'm going to add some shades.

Wow, great thread. subscribed.

Take your time man, we understand. its looking great and ill be looking forward to the next installment.

Gary

Fantastic build. Love the poses of the machine gunner and captain.

Thanks guys, your comments make me working harder
I have added some pre-shading. I don't know how it will look like but now it looks like these:

These is my version of dunkelgelb, I hope you like it. In next step I'm planning to add some highlights.

I think now it is better, not so eye-beating colour:

Hi Wapel,

It looked nice before but i agree, i think you nailed it on the color this time IMO. Very nice color indeed!

Gary

progres for today:

HI Wapel,

Looking great can't wait to see more, very impressive!!

Cheers Mike

some update - I've added only oil fadings and started works on the exhaust. Next step is wash and chipping.



and these show me that I'm going in right direction:

any suggestions?

Fantastic! My only critical comment is that you may want to hollow out your exhaust pipe. I found a 1/32 drill bit works well.

Hi Wapel,

It just gets better and better! You are doing a fine job man. Keep it coming!!!

Gary
