Tamiya StuG IV

It's a conspiracy!

Its a global outbreak of MAN FLU

Good thing we have our fair share of medical personell around here

That being said, still alive (somehow), the cold has almost passend though instead having an almost constant overpressure in your right ear isn't exactly comfortable.

Enough complaining, here's what I've been up to lately:



Still waiting for the filler to dry on the jack and rear light and still missing a small strip of Zimmerit on the vertical front plate, but otherwise I'm basically done here

Looks pretty good to me. What are the plans for camo Philipp? ( if you have answered this question somewhere in the blog already then my post will self destruct in 5 seconds......4..........3...)

[Philipp Gross]

Thanks Vincent

Nope, haven't mentioned nor decided on the camo yet....probably just boring yellow-green-brown

House Call here - Now how are you Young Philipp Goood ....good....

Hey where did that Stug suddenly come from

Really Classey work on that Zimmeritt - it looks absolutely Fab

Thanks Dr Matthews, feeling much better now

The Stug would have been finished days ago if it weren't for the Zimmerit...or the cold. Pick your favourite

I can't mention it often enough, the Milliput method is both simple and quick once you have the basics figured out...

Finally done here and ready for paint!

I'll leave the skirts off, the 1 inch scale thickness of the plates would be a bit much even for a retro build

I forgot to mention, I added a bit of cast texture on the gun mantlet with the old "glue and brush" method.

*Echo!* Beautiful work on the Zimmerit! *Echo!*

Seriously: the Zimmerit makes it way better than most of the 70s kits could be expected - looking forwards to the paint job !


Best regards

Thanks Raoul! The same (minus Zimmerit) is true for your Panzer IV, maybe these old things aren't so horrible after all?
