RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would post some pics of a cosmetic build I did for MichaelC. Anybody that is on here frequently knows Michael is a weath of knowledge on electronics. consequently we trade. He helps/does my electronics, I do paint and figures for him!
I will get back to my KT soon but thought I would post these.

first here are pics of a tank commander I did we call the "Smiling Russian" Was actually a German figure prior to modification. Pictured here in front of my KT.
also included is the little brass lighter I scratch built to replace the breadstick the original figure had. Goes with MichaelC's awesome metal SU-100.

The rest of the pics are of the Stug starting with the brass rail system I built to replace the zinc (read brittle) rail mount kit Michael started with. ...

Great looking figure, nice touch with cotton smoke, the Stug looks great as well. Well done...

Next Part of MichaelC's Stug. cleaned up, holes filed, alcohol cleaning. Base red oxide coat with preshading, base dark yellow coat, camo, chipping, clear coat, black pin wash photographed with some mood lighting!

final pics shot an hour before dusk, Last black and white is done with some CorelDraw effects and converted to B&W, cropped, from pic 17. Doesn't look bad at all!

Simply amazing job dgsselkirk did on my baby Stug, especially the rail/skirt. Now it is one lean mean machine. Thanks again !

Welcome!

that has gotta be one of the best and epic paint jobs ever. Is the foam on the top of the bottal a molative fues or is he opening a beer

Thanks! Cloth fuse. My next Russian to be done in the next month or so will be the drinker! Stay tuned for pics!

Nice Stug!!! Like the paint Scheme.

Thanks it was painted by the master dgsselkirk, but sadly is not longer in my stable. For your name sake here is another one painted by dgsselkirk:
