Fantastic work Rob! Your Schürzen and brackets are inspiring (when ever I get back to my Schürzen projects).

Thank you Eric.
They still need some fine-tuning and I must glue all those things onto the Schürzen which go over the hooks on the hull and brackets.
The Germans call it Ösen, no clue which name you guys gave it…
When that‘s done, I can spray the upper hull in DG , Red Oxide onto the Schürzen and start thinking about a camo scheme….
CU next time guys.
Rob.

Made a little change on the assault gun.
I partially cut off the right front mudguard.
Because of that, I swapped both sprocketwheels and put the one in oxide red onto the right side of the vehicle.
Maybe I will put the first Schürze on the right, in oxide red too, pretending a replacement of the sprocketwheel and Schürze due to a landmine damage.

Need to cut some poly to fill up the missing spot where I cut off the mudguard.
It seemed the StuG upper hulls do miss that part!
Next I tried the Grenadiers again. Just to see how they would look now all the Schürzen are hanged on.
Later when finished, I will take one or two Schürzen off on both sides.
But all of them will be painted, weathered and so, so I always can decide how many I hang onto the StuG.

Love it, the StuG life is strong with you !!
I've been searching for that set of figures you used but cannot find them for the life of me.
Any pointers?

Me, too, Bix, about the figures! And Rob, put 'em all on there when it's finished! They are great!

I must spray outdoors, bad time of the year to do right now!
Too humid/cold I am afraid, damn!
We‘ll see…..
CU.
