Hi Bob,
How’s this beast coming on ?
How’s this beast coming on ?
Si more progress, a tad late!!
finally got back to the Stug, I have not enjoyed this build one bit and its a labour of hate. Just want to get it done and in storage LOL so I can return to the almost ready Dragon Stug A (version 1), in the background. then the version 2
Think its one Stug to far! its got a shed load of tiny bits and yes much better mogglers have done it proud but not me. I have made mistake after mistake and starting this after a gap in my moggling was not wise. should have done an other lovely Tamiya Stug.
But too late now!

Too kind Wouter, lots of glue marks and over zealous cleaning up (plastic soft) well that's my excuse. really trying my nerves :astonished:
Hi Bob
Good to see you back and getting into the swing.
A good Tamiya with a little twist is just what the Dr needs to order.
Then you can pop back to this beasty full of positiveness.
I bought the MiniArt 0 just to try it after kit bashing one, I also got the other Stug III/ Stuh 42 book too!
I still have the Ausf A versions 1 and 2 sat in a box in the attic waiting for daylight and bench time.
Its always Stug time somewhere in the world LOL
Regards

Hi Steve, good to hear from a fellow Stugy!
I just have found the O to be a over complicated build with poor plans, just me no doubt!
I have every Stug model and a good few of each model. Plus a box of accessories to make models with field mods. Could call it a addiction lol.
If you look in the back ground you can see the first A, i have a second dragon A to do the A second series.

Evening Bob,
Well it looks very close to the finish line...glad it’s not been boxed up and forgotten about.
Building my first Miniart kit at the moment and I’m loving it....lots of small fiddly bits are certainly making it a tricky build but I’m a weirdo and enjoy it:tongue-out3:
Don’t give in mate....nearly there:smiling4:

Bob,
Looks fine to me and you are certainly up to the task of making a good job of this

Hi Si, hope you are. Off work for another month due to lack of breath, blasted pnuemonia
I have a bad habit of not paying enough attention to the plans and also rushing. But, many of the smaller parts have large sprue gates which meant i broke a few and had problems cleaning them up, so all my fault lol
Evening Scottie many thanks but the quicker this leaves the bench the better! Come back Dragon, alls forgiven. Lol

Hi Bob
As the others have said it ain't looking bad. Put it to one side, build something you have enthusiasm for BUT promise yourself you will complete it in the not too distant future. Too much done for it to simply be forgotten.

Bob, worry not, the last resort is fire, or a wreak.
I can't see any glue marks, I can show you glue any day :smiling2::smiling2:
Plenty of mud, a few branches, the odd bit of camo net , jobs a good um .

Hi Bob
Hope you don't mind talking Stug for awhile
I just realised, did your "0" have the corrected rear deck?
MiniArt have been sending out corrective parts since last June, I know mine was wrong as I built it back in 2015
I think I was also being a smart arse with the Ausf A, versions 1 and 2 from the Zimmermann books.
The old Dragon Stug III A had such a soft base, I just used the tops and got a Ausf H from the dragon range for the bases.
I have ordered another Stuh 42 turned barrel as I fancy doing an upgrade for one of my very weary Dragon 39-45 early Stugs
Then replace them with the HobbyBoss Bronco ones.
They do look good too.
I have just found a resin waffle zimmerit tool after looking for years and years.
I got it from BNA down under for £10, well worth it, I had given up hope of ever finding one!
I have a toon Stug III L24 short barrel conversion on the bench just to keep the Stug feel alive, though I have only just remembered it!
Its hidden under a large North African village, a T34/85, a Pz IV F2, 3 x 1:32 airfix 1960's cars, and several dozen jerry cans and barrels!
Have a good time playing with your Stugs whilst you get over the Pneumonia
Always good to talk Stug
Regards

Hi Steve
Any time is Stug time!
Yes it has the engine deck, although i left off the pe as i really need to practice.
Yep i built a old Dragon A. Terrible kit, the new A is great with most of the parts for the second A, so got two!
