discussion 1/87 SCALE STUG. lV

[Mini Me]

I took a Roco Mk lV, a Roco Stug lll and a Trident Pak 40 Bbl. Shook the box and this is what came out.

Underselling yourself there a bit Rick, this has come out rather well.....

 

[minitnkr]

I agree. There is some very well done scratchery here. PaulE

Thanks Gents,
Seems I can't fool the experts. I did stir in a few bits here and there. Also it was my first attempt at creating sag in the track assembly as they always remind me of rubber bands stretched over boggies.
Cheers, Rick H.

 

[Steve Jones]

Nice work Rick and the sag has come out well.

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks, Steve.

 

[Steven000]

Looking good Rick
Any plans for a small base to display it?

Cheers
Steven

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Steven,
I might have a shot or two of it on my one and only diorama. I'll post it when I get back home. I'm currently out on the job.
Cheers,

Nice job sir, the StuG IV is one of my favorite WWII German vehicles. I like the ambush scheme paint job!

 

[Mini Me]

Thank you Paul. Will post a couple more when I locate them.

Rick.
I think you did undersell your self as Tim has said, that's a really neat build. The sag on the tracks was the first thing that caught my eye, very hard to achieve when I try with the kits offering.

Thanks John,
The tracks required special tooling and judicious application of heat and pressure in the right places to prevent cracking.
Glad you like it, Rick H.

 

[Jim R]

Hi Rick
Definitely underselling your work. Looks excellent and at braille scale even more impressive.
Jim

Very nice Rick, sure looks the business. Lovely work in a scale far too small for my peepers!!!

 

[Mini Me]

Ah the wonders of magnification. Thanks for looking in Bob.
Cheers, Rick
