1/35 TAMIYA StuG 1V
- Thread starter John Race
- Start date
The paint and the additions look spot on matey.
Nice painty work John. The cover over the gun adds interest
Cheers Paul, Mike has won two with two entries at St Ives, that trench digger and a tank.
Thanks Joe
Stand by for some thing different !.
At last I've finished the StuG loaded the back as Paul would say with "CRAP IN THE BACK " Had loads of fun doing that part. When thay was done and the "rope " finished it was tome for some branches. That sea foam I treated years ago has come it. Sprayed with a brown primer and once dry sprayed with some glue and put the leaves over.
Will have to finish the Commander and then spay the whole thing in a XF clear mat.
Dio ground has been sprayed in Mr Hobby brown , now being left for 24 hrs before attempting the soil and grass.
Learnt a lot from this with the first time use of Tamya paints, also just given the AB its first proper clean ! Would have been numerous times with acrylics.

That's spot on mate.
Thanks Paul
Pleased to hear he's still winning prizes.

Well done Mr race, marvellous finish 
Glad to read you’ve had a nice time using Tamiya paint and it’s not giving you trouble as opposed to acrylics. Although I do use both I much prefer using Tamiya
Once again, well done mate…looks fab

Very impressive and realistic. As a complete military vehicle novice may I ask what the gap in the sheet armour on the right side is for?
Loveitloveitloveit....citb is excellent, but greenery is exceptional.
Me as well Pete
Thanks Paul, thought you'd like the back
. Hi When you get the kit the sides are in one piece, some people cut the sides down as I did. There are many photos of vehicles with some sides missing, presumed lost in the general movement and in battle. Hope this answers your question.
You will be perfect toto, I've been modelling for some time and not all things go to plan ! Thank you for saying.
Yes, he's good. Runs a forum as well , but I don't bother as you have to resize all photos and can only post 3 at a time.
Thanks my friend. See things that I would change doing it again, those rubber tracks for one, much prefer the metal .Well done Mr race, marvellous finish
