JMMendes Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hello fellow modelers! This is my second incursion in the Land of the 1/35 Armour...and i love it. I tried a SU-76, and the heavy metal "sticks" on you. This is the Dragon model "6033" an old model, but still very good. Some issues with the instructions, and some small issues in the construction, but overall it seems still very good. The figures were some old stuff that i had bought on ebay. Tried to do a scene showing a stugg III with some guys and stowage, going to the battle of Stalingrad in 1942. Looking at the model now after its conclusion...there are a lot of stuff that i could have done better, and so much information to learn...the next one is going to be better ! Opinions on what is good and especially what could be better are very welcome! João Mendes 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you are liking Armour modelling I find it very rewarding . You managed to create an Amazing StuG III with excellent figures and a really nice base . The Camo looks brilliant too . Great work Sir ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Great work on vehicle, figures & dio, it's going to take a lot to better that. I agree, with your comment on the instructions, they leave a bit to be desired. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 A fantastic nicely weathered StuG and a great job on the groundwork and figures. Just one point, SOME PICTURES OF THE REAR END PLEASE? !

Here you go...pics of the StuGs rear: I realised that i only have these two...i guess normally we only focus on front and sides to show pics. I m taking notes for more pics of rear, from subjects, in the next build. Thank you for making me realise another thing to improve !!

sanfrandragon Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The quality of your finish is what I aspire to. I particularly like the seams on the tank and the figures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
