Mel and Richies build Stug Victory

Well I was looking at all Jennys stuff and wanted to join the fun so I asked Richie if he could help and we came up with a great idea. Looking thru books at various tanks and photos I was amazed at how easy the tank turrets get blown off. In the stash was an extra Stug an after getting Richies advice we came up with a diorama plan





The other kit the same as this had lots of extra brass and stuff but this scares me a bit, Richie said that he will get some brasss screens off Jennys build which are leftover. I will let Richie explain the turret cause that is his area and maybe some camo for me.

As Mel said she liked the idea of a KO'd vehicle. Having been chatting to Jenny about a conversion she wants for a Elefant diorama. She has a AFV club T34 which has a full interior, the pz abt had munitionpanzers made from captured T34s, minus turrets and open topped. Therefore the turret, was not required and had a full interior so would be ideal as a victim for Mels Stug.

Well the idea to use the turret was so good that I should keep it and do that myself , but cause I am a nice person I will let you do it ! (Just remember Mel when I need to borrow your clothes

Gday Mel and Richie
Sounds like a very cool scene of de-turreting mayhem! You got to love Tamiya kits too, not as much drama to build as most other brands. Sweet!

Cheers

I'm looking forward to seeing this come together.

All right Mel:

Way to go with a great idea. I can already imagine how cool this is gonna look.

Does Mel still have clothes from when she was just ten years old and so very very small ?

One must assume that Barbie has stopped doing mail-order Gary.
