Bob's Sturmgeschutz GB Chat thread

[adt70hk]

Anything Stug related is bound to be Bob's fault. Look at me. A total wingy thing modeller and now dipping into the dirty, muddy world of armour lol.

Welcome to the Stugbash Andrew

He clearly has the gift of the gab where Stugs are concerned. I already have 2 and don't need any more and yet I've ordered more......

 

[BattleshipBob]

Its always my fault!! But slowly, one Stug at a time,converting Al and others to the mighty Stug!!

Welcome to the Stug fiasco, sorry GB!! Just wish i had commision from Stug makers lol.

Next insult please!!

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Next insult please!!

Stug's are crap!





Only joking mate, I'm sure they are lovely.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Good god sir!!! Thats got my dodgy arteries vibrating!

Busy looking for my dueling gaunlett, could you make it after lunch as the alarm for dawn would finish me off!!!!!!

Being fanned by cat lol

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Well if it's high noon it had better be pistols then.

 

[BattleshipBob]

you can have a pistol, I will chose a 7.5 cm StuK L/48, however I will also be reading the manual to see which end you put the shell in lol

I've got the Tamiya 1/35 Ausf B

Currently debating over the aftermarket options as there seems to be a few. The Eduard interior and exterior sets are probably a safe bet, but there's also one by Voyager Models, who I've never heard of but have seen good reviews of this particular set.

And metal tracks too, if I can work out which ones I need

Might as well go all out as the kit itself will no doubt be very quick to build so I can take my time with the detailing.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Evening Andy. If you are going with metal tracks you need

Friulmodel No ATL 03, 40 cm

Voyager are good, no problems when i have used them

 

[BattleshipBob]

Thanks Peter, i need it lol

Plenty of time to join in!!

 

[Deleted member 7181]

Brilliant Bob, thanks.

I'd seen a few mentions of the ATL 03, but it's good to have it confirmed.

 

[BattleshipBob]

My pleasure

Afternoon Stug fans

Finally got my head into the attic for a stug search.
This will be the chosen victim



It's an old one, but should survive the idea I have. There is some PE in the box and an RB turned barrel somewhere to fit the job.
I shall collect all the bits I need ready to get started.
When is it again? Lol
Steve H

 

[rtfoe]

Yo!! Stuggies!!
I've built a III and a IV before but just couldn't find any in my stash except for this oldie moldie...



Checked in the box...everythings there even the horrible decals that would work like paper transfers The tracks are the good old springy unbendable rubberband kind. I wondered if I could slice them into link and length tracks. The plastic molded parts are miles ahead of the older Tammy kit I think and I bet the dimentions are more accurate not being a motorised kit. What say you Simon. Has anyone built this?

I'll get this preped and ready by putting it in front of me at the bench incase I forget and start on something else by accident.

Cheers,
Richard

 

[BattleshipBob]

Thanks Richard and Steve, never tried any of these, look oldies to me?

Keeping space on the bench, good plan Richard

 

[JR]

Lord StuG .
I'm busy checking up my 4 B0 paint supplies. Have several Russian officer figures to use with this as they check out the captured beast.
T34 Rule

 

[BattleshipBob]

T34, is that the motorway junction for Moscow lol?? Would have thought you would buy the paint by the very large bucket from red star supplies

 

[Steve Jones]

Hi Everyone

Bob and I have been speaking behind the scenes about this photo



Bob very kindly worked it out for me that it was a Stug Ausf C/D. We thought maybe in Southern France or Italy. It transpires that it was actually taken in the spring of 1941 in the Balkans. With Bobs help I have managed to source a Dragon Stug and over the last two months I have cobbled together all the extras needed



I probably wont be able to join the party until the New Year as I have a Bison and a Panther to do. However I am really looking forward to doing my third Stug and I hope you will allow me to join in all the fun with the rest of you

Steve

 

[Deleted member 7181]

That's some extras package Steve, should be a beauty!

I have a similar Voyager kit, jerry cans and Black Dog stowage here, plus I was considering the Friul tracks. These Stugs are certainly well catered for with AM!
