Nice to see each stage like that, don't encourage Bob, he'll be building a 6 ft StuG at this rate.

Great modelling Chris .
Bob and his stug would be a bit like Takeshi's Castle.

Looks like you need a degree in electronics, never mind wood work and modelling. It's all very impressive.

while waiting for a scan today I saw some plastic trunking on a machine like on a tumble dryer and had an idea


A Stug with a snorkel, a quick 7.5 shell would soon give your ship an indoor swimming pool lol, mad but happy in Stug land
