Gary, The square Notek light had green lenses, the round brake light had red (top) and orange (bottom) but most people usually just paint them both red for simplicity sake given how small they are (me included).  |

Yes you are correct about the rear lights. Like Bill said I painted both red on same light because my book doesn't show much different between red and orange when it is not on.
StuG looking real good... I think I am falling in love. You will be hearing from my divorce lawyer soon...

Nice job on the Stug and stowage Gary, now on to the figs and base! You've got me curious as to the fate of the bike now...so will be watching to see what happens...could be a messenger in the road...or a guy with a flat in need of help from the trusty toolbox...or even a damsel in distress? Who knows...tune in to the next update to find out! ;D

oh man, I love this StuG, very cool one Gary. Lovely finish!!!
I agree with you on the barbed wire, but it's not that overscale that it becomes disturbing or anything. One to be proud off!!!!
Cheers

Cracking paintwork and weathering Gary, the Stug is coming to life as I look at her  I think your right about the bike, they seem to have a 'sit' all of their own when stowed that's hard to replicate in any scale, let alone this one |

You guys are too kind! Thanks so much fellas. I have the figs pretty much together. The warriors fig sitting has been primed. The standing fig is Tamiya with a Dragon head. I have to do some filling arond the neck of it, then ill prime it aswell. I decided on the Tamiya fig instead of the Alpine as i liked the pose better for a relaxed scene.  DSCF2861 by BBD468, on Flickr  DSCF2862 by BBD468, on Flickr  DSCF2865 by BBD468, on Flickr  DSCF2864 by BBD468, on Flickr Thanks for following fellas! Gary |
