Greg's Trumpeter Stug III Ausf E - 1/72

[Greg_147]

Hi all,

Thought I'd join in for this one too; I picked up a Trumpeter Stug in 1/72. Not the most complex looking kit (I think 90% of it is wheels), but hopefully it'll go together nice enough, and will be a good excuse to get more practice on display bases!

Hi Greg - I'm doing a Dragon 1/72 'E', an even more simplified kit

Think if I could see at this scale this would be the way to go ! Nice one Greg.

Far too small for me lol

Good luck with this one Greg. Will look on with interest

 

[Greg_147]

Progress so far, all put together, Had to look up what the hole in the top was for...



And with a lick of Panzer Grau:

Tracks are on, paint and decals done and a bit of weathering. Time to start on the base.

 

[JR]

That's looking good, I can imagine Bob drooling at the mouth seeing this.

On second thoughts maybe not, not a sight to think about.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Oh yes, fetch a cloth Granvill (us oldies may remember that lol)

Very nice Greg, just got to love it sir

 

[Greg_147]

Thank you chaps! I've made a start on the base, I'll be giving water a go for the first time. Probably shouldn't have the vehicle in the water for a first time attempt, but ah well!

 

[JR]

Oh don't you just love this, top marks on the setting.
Good luck with the water, what material are you using ?

 

[Greg_147]

Thanks John! I'll be using 'Realistic Water' from Woodland Scenics. There's a quite a few videos out there showing tips, so I'll be watching them first and hoping to to ruin the whole thing!

 

[Greg_147]

Well, the water sort of works. It's clear and looks wet, but some texture is needed! So I've ordered some water effects paint, to give it a bit of movement. To be continued...

Now that is looking very good indeed! Well done.

[Steve Jones]

Ditto. Great work Greg
