Arniec Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hi Guys, Here are some pictures of the model I want to build for this GB. I don't know if I will finish it, but I will try. I am having lost my model mojo for a few months now and hope to get it back with this build. It is a old Tamiya kit, with the only a extra metal gun barrel and maybe some rubber track from a different kit. the box front the content and the metal barrel. There should also be some zimmerit on the model, but haven't decided if I will do that. Cheers, 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 I have done some work last Thursday. Here are the pictures. The hull with the wheel braces placed. You will also notice that I have closed al the wholes that were in the hull for the remote controle. The wheels glued together. And the first start made on the Top Hull.The gun mantlet is already placed. And the metal gunbarrel put together for later placement. That is it for now.

PlaStix Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi Arnold. Great to see you are underway and that barrel certainly is impressive. Looking forward to seeing more. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 It isn't much, but I have mated the top and bottom hull together. I have also already done some more work on it. The hatches are one and some of the tools. But I forgot to take a picture. Next time I will show some more. Cheers, 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arniec Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Ok guys, Just a short update with the hatches on and I have also given the gun mantlet a coat of mr surfacer 500. That is it for now. Cheers, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Good idea about giving the mantlet a coating of Mr Surface r- the mantlet's casting was quite textured. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hi guys, The model is nearing the stage for a coat of paint. Here are two pictures of how far it is now. Still need to do the handles for the side skirts. Cheers, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 HI Arnold. Well done on getting it finished, but I don't know why you are concerned about it - I think it's a fine looking Stug with a a lovely paint-job and finish. Very well done!
