losboz, don't forget the system of MasterClub: metal tracks with resin track pins on each side which look very cool. Ok, EasyLink is a bit faster, but still  Cheers |

Yup i know that conversion but i think when i do such build i wil sculped it. You also can buy this type of concrete armor i made on this build, 10-15 euro for a tiny bit of resin.. That's way to much ( in my Dutch eyes  ) There Easy Links for the pz IV chassis and will try the Panther MC metal tracks when i can find them. |

Modeling mojo is gone for the last few days.. Today is a hard hard day, the first victems of flight MH17 returned to the Netherlands. Most people are heartbroken due all events from the last days. Were connected with several friends who know someone killed last week and it is bizarre and sad..
Felt like share some thoughts..

Now we're talking! The extra tracks and relocated spare wheel definitely give this one some character.

Thnx Terry, more to come Thnx Bill, i try to give this one his own personality with some touch ups , a close up from some more detail of the mesh. The fenders will be packed with all kind of stuff so no need to "PE" it. The hatch stays open and is leaning on a round metal stick.  |

Still working on this one, the build is as good as finished and i asked some questions about the picture i posted before on a Dutch forum. the pic is taken in Normandy at Lonlay-L'Abbaye. A couple of Stug brigades and Das Reich were in that area but i have no answer wich unit this Stug belongs to. With this info i decided to use the picture as a reference and don't build a 'historical correct' Stug. The sparetracks and sparewheel on the front weren't usual at the Normandy campaign i am told but it looks raw so i leave it like it is At this moment i am working on the houses using bluefoam and post some pics asap as a proof this project is still alive  some pic refs of the town    |

To bad of all the foilage but you can't have it all THIS is EXACTLY what my 1/16 StuG will look like... foliage and schurzen. That is, if I ever get to it. Jeff |
