Graeme's Tamiya Stug III Ausf G

[BattleshipBob]

Hi Graeme

Slowly going thanks. Taking its time but the cough is a lot better

 

[Steve Jones]

Nice to see the wet stuff Graeme. Looking forward to seeing the next update

 

[Graeme C.]

Thanks Steve, the topcoat is done using Tamiya dark yellow & deck tan 50/50 airbrushed.
Now comes the job of painting the wheels & tools.

Graeme
Looks like the paint has gone down well.

Looks very nice that dark yellow mix Graeme!

[Graeme C.]

Thanks Paul & Steven, the Tamiya dark yellow seems too dark to me, so lightening it with deck tan makes it look better to me.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Gotta agree with the guys here...... that paint has gone very well indeed Graeme,looks very smooth,
Good stuff on a great build.... nice one!
Cheers,
Andy

A bit more progress, all the wheels are painted up, the tools, spare tracks are all done & added to the hull. There are a couple of tow ropes, made using spare lengths of copper tow cable & the kit loop ends, one has been added to the clips on the track guard, will decide where the other is going later. The only decal is a balkenkreuz, as markings look a bit scarce on most stugs of this type.


I've just done the gloss varnish coat this evening after these photos were taken, so the weathering starts tomorrow.

 

[Steve Jones]

Bring on the dust and grime!

 

[Graeme C.]

A slight issue, three of the etch schurtzen leant on each other & stuck, cue a spot of touching up the paint!

 

[JR]

Hi Graeme.
Nice colour mix.

 

[Graeme C.]

Thanks John, the schurtzen have had the paint sorted, now it's back to the weathering.

 

[Graeme C.]

A start has been made on the weathering using pigments, Mig Europe dust, still a bit wet in places in the picture, more to do.

 

[JR]

Graeme, Bob's missing this ! Love this part, don't you, find it so enjoyable .

 

[Graeme C.]

John, it is rather enjoyable, in fact so much so, I've done a bit more using mig light dust, building up the weathering in layers. Some extra bits to go on the engine deck are in the tray.

 

[Steve Jones]

Layering process is going well Graeme. Lots of depth and contrast. Lovely work my friend

 

[Graeme C.]

Thanks Steve, a bit more to do yet, no progress, been busy with things needing doing on my motor & around the home.

 

[scottie3158]

Graeme,
All coming together nicely the paint work looks great.

 

[BattleshipBob]
