Scratching my StuG III G.

[ausf]

I decided to tear down and build a mid G with waffle zim and Schurzen

First step was to reinforce the hull with aluminum channel and eliminate the battery box. I stuck on some zim and primer it with Vallejo's new color Polyurethane primers (RAL Dunkelgelb).

I upper snaps on via two clips in the front, there is zero lower hull flex. I have metal gears and tracks for it, the

Electronics are the Rx-18, DBC RC3 and Benedini TBS.

Here's how it sits right now:

Ahh found your build excellent mate . I did my one a while ago . I made my own waffle stamp tool in hardwood.And also made removable schurzen. I altered the mantlet to the pig one and also added the RC MG. . I like the working lights

Thanks Andy.

I made the stamp out of dental stone, but I should have cast it in resin because it started to break down on me and forced me to not press as hard as I wanted. I went for the battle worn look.

Here's a video of the traverse, recoil and getting hit:
