Superb example of scrapyard chic, Herr Herman! I saw a pic lately of a Stug being unearthed (literally) and hosed down somewhere in Poland , I think, and yours Could easily be its twin. The weathering reminds me, ruefully, of my own face first thing in the morning (and, like Count Dracula, I prefer not to have mirrors in the house anymore )! Anyway, I have to applaud the skill behind all that amazing detailing, and the pics..yes. I know someone else snapped them- but still. There's something about the first one that suggests desert, and tanks being left behind after a skirmish...Kasserine Pass for example. Oops, the Germans didn't lose a single vehicle there did, they ?!...but the gung ho
Yanks lost 47 Shermans....very careless of them. Anyway, now I have visions of of one of your legendary scary serpents slithering by the wreck...so I ..must do a runner..!
By the by, I could never match the eye for detail you've managed there, nor the superb daubing technique...not even if I had another forty years on this Earth (statistically, I only have another 4 to 13...depending on whether you follow the Bible, or UK health stats). So, congrats

Nope, it wasn't Poland, it was in Russia- and when they upended it and washed it off.....well, it almost looked driveable! ..Just some fresh benzine, air filters and plugs needed I'd guess. But maybe they had to get rid of the time-withered crew first...

STUNNING ! That is one of the best I've ever seen ! EVERYTHING you have done on it is perfect.....

Love it, absolutely stunning!

Really good, has better traction than my Pz IV with standard style tracks.
Adds to the "toughness" of the look I reckon

Thanks Herman, I like the tracks so much I ordered a set yesterday.

Cheers Mr Jeman...............I will say the pictures are first class and Im lucky to have had such a great 'happy-snapper' there on the day.
I do have a few more he took from other angles, and many or my other tanks as well.

Appreciate the kudos

Thanks Mr Glasgow, this was my 'fun-est' build and it runs really well too.

Its a great video mate.
That StuG was one of my ideas to build, but I had not long finished a white tank so went another way.

Its kind of a trade mark now mate, although if the numbers increase- the buckets will need to get bigger
By the way, the Russian bucket is done as well..................not flowers though.....................
