DAS WERK STUG III G

[MrT]

Sorry I have been away for a while. That being said I have not been idle. I am working on a 1/16 Das Werks Stug III g.

I think we are up to date.

Cool Terry! I have one of these (love stugs) How have you liked the build? Anything to know going forward?

The engineering is pretty straightforward. No problems.

That's pretty cool! You must have moved to a more generous house to make room for these big armor kits!

Looking very cool Terry, love the big scale. I have this one in the wings......interested in your take on it.

The top front plate is set back too much on the DAS werk kit but can be fixed with the AFV font plate fix, mainly for the hardcore detailist, otherwise its ok.

Good kit! I have been to the AFV site. Lots of neat stuff, but I'm building under a time constraint and didn't know how long it would take for the parts to arrive.

Great job, but it needs mud. Gary's.

In this scale you'll need real lag bolts!

Looks great Terry!

 

[MrT]

Stug commander....

 

[Heavens Eagle]

You've been busy Terry. That commander is looking real good.

 

[moon puppy]

Certainly looks commanding!

 

[Rhino]

It's a cryin' shame some of your handmade StuG accessories aren't being molded for sale for profit.
Impressive Commander!

 

[Greg Kimsey]

This looks amazing. Dang man.

 

[Greg Kimsey]

Did you make the bolts? If so, how? They are all perfectly matched.

 

[Brokeneagle]

Love it! The commander has a real presence.

The bolts were from Meng.
