StuG III Ausf.F by Pavel

Hello all,

well.
Now is time for add my topic here.

My StuG will be OOTB with little scratchbuild (like a master model I have some pics from web with F in 1/35)



My will be same but only in right scale.

Kit is from Trumpeter.













Progress is for 2 days.

Hope you like it.
Soon.
Pavel

Nice start, Pavel . . . can't wait to see what you do in Braille scale.

Mark

Hi Pavel:

That is a great start, but I am surprised that you have not finished it yet. It's been more than 5 hours, and it seems that is all it usually takes you .

Gary

Lovely start Pavel , does not seem like a group build until you have finished your first entry .

Jenny

Mark : I'm glad to you like it
Gary : No I'm not finished yet, maybe 2-3 weeks and I will finish this little beast.
Jenny :

Many thanks friends.
Next progress will come tonight

Pavel

Hi Pavel, it's great to have you in the group build. Setting the pace and giving inspiration (for slow coaches like me!!)

Cheers
JT

Thank you JT for kind words

eee....what I wanted just to say?

Well, now I know - I have done (99,8% build completed)










I hope it's not too much depressing
after the last update I had three days off

Very soon.
Pavel

Nice work on the StuG

I have enough trouble detailing 1/35 kits, let alone trying 1/72 scale, so much kudos to you

Do you have a particular paint scheme in mind for it?

Andrew

Like Andrew said, I have enough trouble with 1/35 let alone your scale. Your model looks good. Dean

Many many thanks guys for kind comments

Some new progress from my workbench.

Simply base









StuG in base color( with first layer of weathering)







at last I selected some load

Pavel

Hello friends, because I have too many works in December my speed is slower than usual

But I still fight

Base complete




Stug have decals and wash (today I'm done with wash)






Next will be scratches, another weathering with oils, pigments.
Soon.

Greatings.
Pavel

Hi Pavel, I had to go back and check the scale of this at the top of the page! Marvelous diorama, and the stug is looking superb! A really neat pin wash, hard to believe it's braille!

Hello Pavel:

A really great little StuG there. And the small diorama is great too. I was looking at the fence and thinkin, "Oh I bet that gun barrel is going to be juuuuust peeking out of that hole in the fence" . And the goose is a real nice touch too.

Gary

Wonderful work, Pavel! The goose is a great touch!

Mark

Hi Pavel

Beautiful work as always.

The goose is excellent.

Simon

Many many thanks friends for kind comments.
It is very motivating for my next work.

Chipping and weatering are done.







And one attempt with AK product (kursk earth)
Who don't try AK products - I give one recommendation... USE IT because it works really great.
I try it on my next project - Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf.N form Dragon

used directly from the bottle(in hull with pigmets)




when it dries, use white spirit and wash it down (gently)




Next progress on StuG will be tomorrow.
I will use same method like up on Pz.III (only with darker color)

Hope you like it and try it
Regards.
Pavel

I can hardly believe that this is 1/72 scale Pavel You've made a real masterpiece here and especially so with the little details on the vehicle and base

Superb chipping Pavel!

Cheers
JT

JT, Andy - many many thanks friend I'm glad to you like it soo much












Complete finished StuG will be in gallery very soon(I will upload in couple of minutes)

Any C&C are welcome.
Regard.
Pavel

Gary

Looking better and better!
