discussion Stug fest, anyone interested?

[Dave Ward]

What's a Stug???? :tongue-out:
I can remember building one stug, in over 40 years of modelmaking ( Tamiya ), so I guess someone has to take up the slack! - Go for it!

Yes please Bob - you've got to live up to your site name!

Remember watching a documentary where a Stug veteran talked about being under attack by some Shermans in the Ardennes. The backed up onto a tree stump and got stuck, so under fire, they had to jump out and cut away the stump with an axe. That done, they went on and knocked out as couple of the Shermans.

Took your time! I've been waiting over a year for you to get your act together :smiling5: :smiling: :smiling5: :smiling6: . I hope you begin with gallery shots of your previous Stug builds. Bring on the fest and good luck

At first I thought you were proposing a Stug GB, ( not a bad idea in itself ), but I'll sit back and watch this Stug fest Bob.

 

[Guest]

Now there's an idea.

Cheers,

Bob,

Might!?! Erm....NURSE!

Hi Dave

Easy build has to be the Tamiya, joy to build but not accurate.

Otherwise there is plenty of choice when it comes to Dragon. Nice interior, good moulds, details. But, those plans, shed load of sprues!!!

 

[BattleshipBob]

Oh forgot

2 ammo carriers

Wow and I've never built one :sleeping2: :sleeping2:

That's because Bob's got them all Mick
