No more distractions - we're keeping the man away from his model again. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

You say finding track marks, recently or wartime? Apologies, total thread drift but a fascinating subject.. Link to post Share on other sites

(Pigments €2.88..!) Might have been a black Friday thing, I've done so much Christmas shopping today I've lost track. Seemed churlish not to put an order in for myself amidst everything else....

Takom Bergepanther G, with Fruils , a Meng Jagdpanther G1 with etch and Fruils, and a Takom King Tiger late with Fruils and a full Aber update set and bought a punch and die set another two bottles of airbrush cleaner and a set of more Fruils and photo etch fenders for the PzKpfw III build in February...................Thick end of £500 Ooff !! Pretty penny there, Steve !! 7 hours ago, Jasper dog said: I thought I'd spent a bit over the last 24hrs, but £500!!! Great choices though, think you might be onto a hiding to nowhere with the pzr III stuff fella! Go on where have you splashed the cash home or abroad? Spent a bit in the bovington black Friday sale yesterday and put an order in with Mig Jimenez this morning. Bought a great looking book, in English, Italienfeldzug. German tanks and vehicles 43-45. Half the price it is from via Amazon btw even coming from Spain. Should have a couple of Stugs coming too, couldn't decide between Takom and DW... Das Werk, Darryl ! I’m building the Takom into the StuH 42, and the DW into a standard Stug III. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

(Before any pedants correct me it should have been Du Werk for that but it would have lost its meaning/humour, just like when you have to explain a joke....) Figured the DW one might have been more detailed but the takom looks a quicker build...so many options with a Stug. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Redcoat2966 3,170 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Looking more than good Steve....seem's you have more patience than I on the fenders....look real nice. I see all the same attention to detail on the turret too.....looking forward to the first coats of colour going on....are the tracks and wheels all affixed, or just to take the pics? With the hanging detail, I'm thinking on for good. I must set up for soldering in the new year. You've given me the urge to do something knocked out and many tips and ideas. Great build blog to follow.. Cheers Simon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
