discussion Stug O series

[BattleshipBob]

Afternoon all

Names bob and an x milmod, this is my first post so please be kind :rolling:

I am a bit of a Stug nerd and am trying to build every Stug Ausf and the different versions per Ausf. Being building the miniart Stug O which was the first Stug and 5 were built as prototypes to test the assault gun theory

Was hoping to do more today but work got in the way

A awkward suspension build for me with lots of small parts many very fragile

Hi Bob,
Welcome aboard wondered where you had got to. It's a good site with the same happy banter and good advice.

hi Bob
Welcome Sir - nice to see you. Looks a nice kit. A good neat start. I think MiniArt kits are generally pretty good.

Hi Bob

Welcome, unfortunately work often gets i nthe way.

I trust you have this one on your list of Stugs?

It looks very much a field modification, but an unusual one to build.

Hi Scottie and Jim, good to hear from you:smiling3:

Thanks very much for the welcome

I found the instructions are a bit confusing like Dragon and the parts in soft plastic. So a bit easy to damage, however getting there

Hi Peter, I have thanks but much appreciated

Work can be a right pain, but never mind 1 year and 9 months to retirement, yippee

I think it was used to clear streets of rubble etc after bombing raids? Will at some stage have a bash and also a go at the only prototype using steel road wheels

Also got the flame thrower version as well, in other words got a full Stug Stash and packed bookshelves lol

Should be on tablets

Hiya Bob,
Nice to see you here. Nice to see the StuG O too.... A very complicated suspension system to put together, but you’ve made a cracking job of that and tracks!

Cheers Rick H.

[SteveH]

Hi Bob

Good to see you caught up

Feeling OK these days?

I eventually bought one of the MiniArt Stug 0 even after kit bashing one a few years ago.

Its a "Stug's life" still seems to be your mantra.

Absolutely spot on.

Look forward to your "0" getting finished

Regards

Steve H

 

[BattleshipBob]

Hi Steve, pleased to hear from you! Yep.you will all be sick of Stugs soon lol

Not to bad, slowly falling to bits!!! Just getting over a kidney stone, spending a penny will never be the same lol Thanks for asking

Its not a bad kit, but also working on the Dragon A Stug and better to build, in my opinion of course

Hows things with you, good i hope

Regards bob

 

[BattleshipBob]

Wouter, get that ship on sea trial!! Please!!!!!

Hi Bob, I'll follow your progress, the O series Stug looks an interesting build.
