hello guys,
My name is Paweł, I come from Poland. These will be my 3rd model.
I'd like to show you my new project on what I'm working on. This is StuG III from Dragon kit plus PE from Voyager. Soldiers are form Dragon and crew from Tank.

and crew from TANK:


I hope you like it - waiting for your opinions,
regards

I do like it Great animation in the figures and super groundwork. I look forward to seeing more of this

I have to agree with Pat- the figure animation is first class and they are detailed nicely aswell. I'm looking forward to seeing the scene come together.

Pawel -
Excellent work. The groundwork is coming along nicely and the figure animation is very good. I look forward to your next update.

Thanks,
Stephen (Minas-Ithil)

I really like your figures-

Which heads are you using ? They don't seem Hornet....

Thanks a lot guys for a good word. This weekend I'm planning to finish StuG (those PE parts are such time-eaters) Then I will continue works on base.



to be honest I really don't know the producer of heads. I buy some modeller's leftovers and heads were among it.

Hi Pawel,

nice ground work, and those figuers are very good. really looking forward to more of your project. well done Pawel!

Hi Pawel,

Your figure pose's are fantastic & the base is looking really good too!! How did you make the tree trunks?? What was this kit of the Stug III like as i have it in my stash to make

Cheers Mike

hi everyone, thanks for commenting.
About the trunks I've made them like this:
I put a toothpick into the base and used it as a framework. Then I form a shape of clay around it, I made a bark-texture with a use of a needle. And into the upper flat part I dig some splinters.
StuG itself is a very good kit in my opinion, the worst part was this, where I have to use putty:


and this, where I couldn't joined superstructure to the chasis

Except this little problems details are very good and I can frankly recommend this kit.

I've one question:
I'm planning to put this wheel on the rear part of the superstructure. I've removed tire myself, does it look good?

Looking good goin to follow this nice work
Please could you tell me what set did you get the guy with the mp 40 who looks like he had been shot

With the detail of the groundwork and figures, I will be watching closely. Subscribed.

The falling man is from Dragon 6580 Barbarossa Infantry kit like the others soldiers. I've reworked him from the lying guy with hand up.

Thanks and wow that's a brilliant conversion

I agree with all the other posts. I love the guy that just got hit. You really captured that well. I love what you did with the equipment on his body,posing it just right. Excellent!
J

The guy whose been hit is outstanding..... Which figure set is he from? Groundwork looks good too...

Its from the set above. The figure thats lying on the ground.

How did you mold the prone soldier into the "shot" position? All four of the figures look amazing & I just wondered how you got them like that. Do you use putty for them or something?

Conor

Very nice work, I'll be following this build.

Looks like A+B epoxy.

hello!


I've cut his arms and legs in joints, drilled a hole and joined it again with wire in a new position. Then I used, just like Matt said, A+B putty to recreate a missing flesh. Palms are from different kit. I used also a milling cutter to drill a hole in his neck, to show his uniform collar more realistic. This heads have fairly long necks so they can be used to gain dynamic pose.

Hi Pawel,

I think it is all coming along great & that your damaged wheels look great, did you put them in milling cutter & use a scapel blade to remove the "rubber" off the rim

thanks for your opinion Tansami! I did it with hand - milling cutter, I mean tool like this:

I just put the proper tool in the end and then I operate with it just like a pen. What is the name for such tool - I can't find it in dictionary

Meanwhile I'm working on pine - tree, it's not ready yet:

Awesome, how did you make the tree

Tree is just a wire-frame covered with clay. Texture of the bark, I did just like with the trunks above - with needle. The foliage is a plumber's tow (fibre I mean) and onto this I glued some Faller 181391. I still have to work on the shape and colour of this pine.
here are some photos of almost finished Stug. This is my first PE brass, so please about your understanding. Stug also fall me down, so some parts just glue off and I had to glue them again - it might be seen to much glue in some places.
Trucks (some part of them) are put only to make a photo. I am still wondering if I should glue them now or after painting, but I think I will glue it later.




and some details:



hope you like it
