MichaelC's Stug cosmetics

[dgsselkirk]

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would post some pics of a cosmetic build I did for MichaelC. Anybody that is on here frequently knows Michael is a weath of knowledge on electronics. consequently we trade. He helps/does my electronics, I do paint and figures for him!
I will get back to my KT soon but thought I would post these.

first here are pics of a tank commander I did we call the "Smiling Russian" Was actually a German figure prior to modification. Pictured here in front of my KT.
also included is the little brass lighter I scratch built to replace the breadstick the original figure had. Goes with MichaelC's awesome metal SU-100.

The rest of the pics are of the Stug starting with the brass rail system I built to replace the zinc (read brittle) rail mount kit Michael started with. ...

Great looking figure, nice touch with cotton smoke, the Stug looks great as well. Well done...

final pics shot an hour before dusk, Last black and white is done with some CorelDraw effects and converted to B&W, cropped, from pic 17. Doesn't look bad at all!

Simply amazing job dgsselkirk did on my baby Stug, especially the rail/skirt. Now it is one lean mean machine. Thanks again !
