Stug 111 Ausf C

Post by Vincent Power »

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 :lol:
This where I'm up to.

Panzer III GB? That was a while ago :shock:

Anyhow, fantastic work so far - especially the empty engine compartment :D

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 :D !

Thanks Philipp. :) I didn't look up the date of the GB in case I got too much of a shock :lol: The poor Stug has been sitting in the cupboard way too long.

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. :lol:

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. ;)

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 :P Also a couple of old rubber drive belts. You could add a couple of old spanners that had been left behind?

Trying hard to do some modeling!
