Re: StuG III
That looks great Rob 
I love the look of the Schurzen on the stugs, I've been contemplating getting a set for mine for a while now and looking at this may have just sealed the deal 
Cheers, Lee.

Me ? Addicted ? Never !! 
Re: StuG III
Very nice indeed. How are those schurzen? How are they affixed? Is it quite solid, suitable for outdoor driving? Or are they a bit flimsy?

Re: StuG III
Schuerzen are made of Polystyrol.
They do come with the brackets and hangers available at Tankmodelbau in Germany.
But because I added the wider Ostketten to my StuG, the stock brakets/hangers do not fit.
So I made it all from brass. I used U-Profiles 1 x 3 x 1 mm and angle profiles 4mm alongside the StuG.
I also have aluminum plates of which I could make the Schuerzen too, but for now these will do.

Re: StuG III
Produced with great care and attention, like the ones we saw in the snow the other day

Re: StuG III
If it's worth doing- it's worth doing well! You've done well. Working with 1.5mm nuts is never easy (and it gets harder with age ); but the support frame you have made looks spot on, and very neat. More than that, the Ostketten will help to deal with the snow, if not the dogwalkers

Re: StuG III
Don't talk about those 1.4 mm nuts, haha.
Snow is gone, and it looks like we ain't getting some for a while now.
So I was damn lucky we at least had one white morning, so I could take both "Ostfront Tigers" out into their natural habitat, haha, just to take the pics i wanted to shoot for a very long time.
