Hi Shawn

All my soldering gear is buried somewhere in the attic, so it was all CE.

It would be tougher soldered, but it will be sometime before I can crawl around on my new bionic knees and find the soldering stuff!!

Still more crazy minute PE still to do, its an poor excuse to do the PE rather than get my brushes out and paint!

Your figures have inspired me to try heads again.................................soon?

Thanks for popping by

Thanks chaps

I have worked to a pause with this for now
Working side shields
Image
Image
Though I will lock them down with super glue for painting
and all the other stuff
Image
Just the Flak 30 left, but time to paint some heads and have a change of pace.

I still have a dozen heads I put aside for you Raoul, 3 years ago! they are on the bench now

I hope to AB this one and a Stug III B I have completed, once the snow lifts and the weather warms up,
sometime this Spring LOL

More soon?

Opps its been awhile, but thanks for the positive comments Raoul, Vincent

I do prefer to solder when I can!

An update as yesterday was cooler so out came the AB

Image

The trailer in a slightly different PG

Image

Together

Image

and a Black & White edit which shows why the grey/brown camo was missed for soooo long!

Image

The remaining modulation will be by brush as this is currently the limit of my ultra low pressure fine needle AB skills, but it is getting better!

More soon?

Though I now need to build the Flak 30, I was hoping to have the crew figures, but available nothing yet

Regards

Nice work Steve. The grey/brown camo seems so obvious now when you look at B&W photos, but I can see why it was missed!

On the home stretch now :D

Nice job on the camo. I'm eager to see it with the AA gun installed.
