Just got to look at this one Mick, and it’s looking very good

Are the rubber bands really bad Mick?

One had been twisted in the box and refused to behave and both seemed to be about half an inch short. I didn’t want to start wrestling with them and damage the build

Hi Mick sorry to hear about your tracks, I've got the one left over from my build if that's any help but they are Tamiya, there yours if you want them.

Many thanks for the king offer Pete but I think I’m going to try and find something other than the rubber bands, I don’t swear enough when modelling

Stugs, Stugs nothing but Stugs, you are not going to get me into your evil cult, I am now in hiding and you will never find me under the stairs - so there.....
Mick, keep it coming - watching through the key hole....
Mike.

Looking good Mick, hopefully you'll find a suitable replacement for the tracks :thumb2: .

My evil plan is working, only doc who or 007 can stop me now not even 007's Aston Martin could stop a 7.5 shell. Off to stroke a cat:rolling:

Not sure Mick if thats a joke or are you having a go at me? :worried:

Hopefully the issue with the tracks will get sorted. Its such a nice build it deserves a good set of tracks

 

[Mickc1440]

Found a way to pass a few hours and get nowhere fast, quite therapeutic though

 

[Mickc1440]

I built a STUG finally got it to this stage with my desk now firmly back in my control. It’s going to have to sit in it’s clear coat stage for a while as it’s now in a queue for finishing. Better late than never.

 

[Steve Jones]

A very nice tidy finish Mick. Well worth the wait. Great stuff

 

[Guest]

That is some model Mick, congratulations on a very clean build. :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

 

[Mickc1440]

Thanks gents, I know it’s far far far away from being the best STUG on the market but it’s certainly made me think about another one
