The Stugtriosaurus G, Das Werk 1/16

[roland66]

Hello everyone,

me and my modeling friends were on a 4-day modeling bivouac at the end of May.
As I needed a kit for this, I chose the Stug with winter tracks from Das Werk, in 1/16th scale.

The kit is easy to build, everything fits well, and I made such good progress that I could have taken more pictures.

That really looks nice. Great detail on those 1/16 monsters.

Bookmarked this. 1/16? This will be ginormous! The tracks have a wonderful natural sag to them. Was it very complicated to construct them?

No, about 4 hours per side. 93 outer parts, 93 inner parts and 31 ice grips, and that twice. Each part has to be sanded 4 times and glued very carefully. Otherwise it slips apart or stops moving. It can be done.

The worst part are the wheels, the rubber wheels have 4 sprues on the outside and 2 on the inside. They stick so hard to the wheels, that you have to sanding them both.

So you're looking at 10-12 hours just for wheels and tracks? Dang. Looks fantastic, though!
