Wanted to salvage my old Bandai Stug and work on the scratch skills.
Bandai upper with the Tamiya mobelwagon chassis, Thinking about doing zimmeret paste.
probably eastern front, hull down, small setting.













thoughts welcome thanks for looking.

Hi Chris. I like you did the extra concrete block in front of the driver's box. If you go the zim route, and don't want to do it yourself, the cavalier zim set for the stug I was able to get to work with cutting a few spare scraps from previous build extras. Yours is coming along nice!

Thanks Greg, i'll probably do the putty route ,want to try out the sturmtiger zimm. tool.
that link to your stug is great [awesome job!] the more detail photos like those the better.
having fun scratchin, what ya workin on, and how's the knee ?

Got the staples out today. Its going good. My current projects are the bridge too far and a bronco staghound

here's the progress to date.













thinking about camo now and how to do the mg. really like the zimmeret tool it worked well.

Chris - it turned out really well. Since your hatch is closed you'd want the mg shield down. I think I have a spare if you need one just give me your address in the message box.

thanks Greg.
already scratched the gun shield, thanks for the offer, same goes for you if you're need'n something let me know if i can I'll help ya out.

i decided to go Norman hedgerow with the stug after finding out 17 ss had some in the caen sector,wish i had the fist symbol they used but decided not to wait.
still some fine tuning to go but already thinking what to build next.















thinking about a gate [smashed] and a couple troopers behind the stug to fill space, along with vegetation on the hedge.

Good progress Chris. I'm interested to see how you do the hedgegrove.

got around to base work , decided air fern for tree foliage as i just didn't have the patience for individual leaves.



i found a cool root in the bin that looked like a good stump and had some fun with it.




















gonna work on figs and see if i can scheme up some small detail accessories while the glue dries.

Its coming along nicely. Are you planning to do more weathering on the tank once the base is done?

Thanks Greg, yeah gonna put some dust and grime on once the stugs glued down, i'm working up a mg crew to add a little more to look at as well.
my main worry is the air fern trees they kinda look pineish[is that even a word?]but won't know till i put them in.
I'm after kinda a tunnel look as a lot of the photos i referenced look that way.
You a poppa yet?

I'm calling this one done, probably will put a coat of dull-coat on it as the matte i tried is a little to shiny.
as usual the figs gave me the most trouble as i fear i never will master them.




















ideas welcome thanks for looking.
