AlanG's 1/35 Tamiya Stug IV (StuG Group Build)

[BattleshipBob]

I'm only doing it because BattleshipBob offered me triple choc cookies :tongue-out3:

Still looking for my wallet Al or is it short arms deep pockets:thinking:

[AlanG]

Ready for primer Mr. Stug :blow-kiss-2: lol

[BattleshipBob]

Good god theres no stopping you Al:tongue-out3:

Looks like a StuG IV to me, look forward to the paint

[AlanG]

Going to red oxide prime and then hairspray so i can do/try the chipping effect thingy-me-bob

[BattleshipBob]

Good for you, good vids on youtube.

[AlanG]

Right time to try another first for me. Rust pigments. Primed the exhaust in XF-1 Flat black (and the whole tank too) then added some Vallejo Flat Brown. Rubbed/dusted some CMK Dark & Light Rust pigments onto it and there you have it. Looks ok i think. Not bad for a first attempt. Just need to seal in with varnish then hairspray ready for the upper surfaces paint.

That's turned out well Alan, nice and crusty looking.

Al,
It's good to see another wingy person take up proper modelling :tongue-out3: :smiling3:

[AlanG]

Don't worry Paul. This is just a temporary diversion. I'll be back to the P-38 GB soon and then onto a special wingy thing project. Whilst i do love certain tanks/Flak cannons, i am a wingy person at heart.

Al, very nice, lovely effect.:thumb2:

You do not know it but your conversion to armour and of course the Stug is under way lol

[AlanG]

Cheers guys. Wish i had some brighter rust pigment to make a few lighter spots. But hopefully santa will bring me some.

[Guest]

Have you got any lighter/brighter colours you could mix into the rust you have to perk it up?

[AlanG]

No. Only those two (Dark & Light)

[AlanG]

Primer completed. Time for some red oxide (red brown)......... well ok...... maybe tomorrow. Been up since 0240 this morning. so time for bed :smiling3:
