Alpha-Matic,
Thanks for the tip! I will surely be using it as the next year will be a Resin O' Plenty year. The next project after the StuG winds up is the 1/6th Stuart rebuild. It will see a lot of white metal and resin added to it. I'll be practicing a resin cold pour to make a duplicate mantlet for the build and send Sass the original tracks and some pieces and a mantlet for one of his 1/6th vehicles.
regards,
Painless

Tonight was lawn night so I didn't have a lot of time to devote to the StuG but I managed to get the next detail set started. Even if it was just a little (lot) detail filing and some glue. I was able to put some thoughts together on how I wanted this part of the build to work. More tomorrow night. Pictures:

Michael,
Thanks, Doc. Some more things to add, definitely. Take it from a 'display in a museum' feel to a working piece of armor in the early days of the War.

Ad Lav,
That piece is from An-Bri-RC in Germany. All of those details ship with it for a very reasonable price. Your modern Leopard will need that special mount but the MG should work just fine. ;o)

Beautiful early Autumn morning here so I got outside at Lunch and did the base spraying for one of the the detail sets for the StuG. I did the prep work for these little beauties the other night and will sit down this evening to finish them up with a brush. Pictures:
