Stug 111 Ausf C
Seeing Gary finish some of his Shelf Queens inspired me to finish off my stalled Stug from the Panzer 111 Group Build. After opening the dust covered box and looking at what I had done before, I moved ahead surprisingly quickly. It's not perfect by any means but I can at least call it progress. Besides, I'm closer to painting than I was before
This where I'm up to. I need to make a tarp as well. We'll see how that goes
Cheers,
Vincent

Panzer III GB? That was a while ago
Anyhow, fantastic work so far - especially the empty engine compartment

Great job on the engine compartment, but even more impressive to me is how "organic" the wrecked suspension looks with parts of it distributed all around the StuG !

Engine compartment looks great Vincent, love the scratch built engine mounts.

Thanks Philipp. I didn't look up the date of the GB in case I got too much of a shock The poor Stug has been sitting in the cupboard way too long.Philipp Gross wrote:Panzer III GB? That was a while ago

Re: Stug 111 Ausf C
Thanks Raoul. I put a lot of work into the suspension components only to find that the fit is specific to each side. Of course I missed that until after I starting fitting them to the Stug, hence why they are distributed around. Some mistakes work out fine in the end.Raoul Kunz wrote:Great job on the engine compartment, but even more impressive to me is how "organic" the wrecked suspension looks with parts of it distributed all around the StuG !

Re: Stug 111 Ausf C
Thanks Adam. It was the suspension mounts that stumped me the first time around causing the build to stall. When I tried this time it all just went together smoothly. I'm happy with the result. The engine bay should look nice with some weathering and dirt in there.Adam Durrant wrote:Engine compartment looks great Vincent, love the scratch built engine mounts.

Hi Vincent,
Very nice! Great work on the engine bay. Maybe add some junk in there to busy it up a little bit more? A couple of tins or oil cans, rusted of course Also a couple of old rubber drive belts. You could add a couple of old spanners that had been left behind?
