Baby Stug Details and Wash

[eastrock]

Hi guys, just came out of confinement a few days ago and I needed a quick build due to the solitary confinement, Imagine the boredom hours felt like days. the kit is from 1/72 DML STug IV Early version.





Just a quick question should I put the side armors or not?

Thanks for checking!!!

OH...a little guy!!! Nice one ER!! How the heck have you been?!!

As for the armor...I would pop a couple off!!, dent it maybe a bullet hole or two?

[deafpanzer]

Are you sure it is really 1/72? It has great details as a 1/35 kit. Good luck building this little StuG!

[spud]

Very Nice Er, I would do what T said. and were you being a naughty boi?

[eastrock]

T, Thanks I was stuck in the hospital isolation ward buddy... doing great just a bit of insanity lol hmm that would be a bit of a challenge for a 1/72 armor ;D

Hey Andy, thanks for checking around yes its a braille scale its sitting on a coffee mug mat.

Spud, just a bit off the bench in the meantime, just could not finish in time for my entry for BSC this year...

[TRM]

Glad to have you back!!! Be careful though, you may end up with an eye stain form this little one!!

[eastrock]

Thanks Buddy, I may finish the chally after the BSC... just need to find my mojo back... I'll use a magnifier for this one...

seems like your been busy with the coaching stuff?

[TRM]

I hear you on the SMA BSC a bit! Mojo slowed this up for me too. Trying quick build to spark something!!

Been busy with the softball, but it's winding down now. Playoffs start next week. Day by day. Game Tuesday...if they win on to Wednesday and so forth. We will wait and see!!

Capt, I will finish the Chally for our 10th IPMS nationals, I just have to re modify and scratch work the AFV club RWS to a Enforcer II, I'm having troubles doing a full scratch work.

Can't think of a better way to celebrate your "release"! Looking good so far, any plans to zim the little guy?

[eastrock]

Thanks Bill, I'm also waiting for your brumbar update... but I have to sleep it out first is almost 3AM in the morning here... I haven't think about that I might get cross eyed doing the zim for the Stug lol

A good way to break the confinement ER. Will be very cool to see how this turns out.

[eastrock]

Thanks Chris67 ;D

Update:
This happens when anxiety attacks lol especially when you got out of the hole still fresh


Not much of an update for the ESCI and Repainted the Tiger 1 see the size difference of the Stug what a shelf Saver LOL





a bit more details and off to weathering

Thanks for checking, Cheers!!! ;D

[spud]

Nice camo job ER, and man that is Tiny!!!!!

[multicam]

Camo looks great ER. Nice work!

[wbill76]

Moving right along ER! The size comparison reminds me of the first time I did a 1/72 kit...it was a Jagdpanther...quite a change from doing 1/35!

[bbd468]

Nice camo on the Stugette! Sitting next to the Tiger sure puts it in perspective.

Gary

[406 Silverado]

nice line up ER. The camo looks pretty good bud

[eastrock]

Thanks a lot for your kind comments, Guys!!!

I do agree getting the camo done on the baby Stug far more complicated than the 1/35 counter part. I've use the Tamiya basic spray for this one. The trick is you don't press the trigger, if you notice there's a little paint coming out even though your not pressing it? light glide the AB free hand on the kit, just shoot in the air if no paint coming out. Repeat the process until you satisfied.

Cheers!!

[eastrock]

just a few details to go and weathering and she's all done

[wbill76]

Getting close to the finish line with the baby Stug ER, looking good.

[eastrock]

Thanks a lot guys for dropping by and checking, much appreciated

Hmm about the Chally, its creeping in bit by bit lol... I'll have more progress when the **** super impose my 2 week suspension, I think my medical reason is not valid, I'm just looking forward in a positive way...

[bbd468]

The Babes looking nice ER. What type AB did you use to pull off that camo job?

Gary

[eastrock]

Thanks for checking Gary, I did use Tamiya Basic Spray for the camo.
