I absolutely love the welding and wire holding the spare track pieces in place. Nothing bothers me more then track pieces that are held in place by magic! Armored vehicle and light skin vehicle can "rock and roll" heavily with the terrain and anything not secured will shift, slide, fall off etc. Excellent job on those small details!
Hi Lukasz, that was another outstanding build from a true master of military modelling, you are a true inspiration to all of us, congratulations on a job extremely well done, best regards from Australia
Gotta luv a Stug. One of my top 3 WW2 vehicles and of course once again you've done a superb job mate as if there was going to be any doubt. I really enjoy a video where the build is done in one video instead of over many steps. Keep up the great content n happy modeling. Oh n happy Valentine's
I didn't know that I wanted a StuG IV in my collection until now. StuG's and Hetzers have that sports car type of look to them. Very nice looking sports tank destroyer you got there!
I use the AK filler just for texturing as its water based its great....plastic of airfix tanks is good too,also the newer tamiya is nice to work...nice job m8 ,insipring..I use a lot of ur methods now...ive seen vids where they say someone (forget his name) invented chipping ...I as doing that in early 1980 s lol...wonder if I invented it lol..even with kitchen scourers ...he he
Hello big yes for your work and big yes for quick tracks producer they are one of the best on the martket. Now was using for t-34 and I am more than happy about them :) Cheers !
HA!....Funny, I happen to be working on the exact same kit (Early model StuG IV), exception with mine being it bears the full interior kit, Im catching the tail end of the build @ this very moment before priming. Ive got about 3 full eight hour days into the build so far. The RyeField Models engineers are simply OUT-Standing as far as build-ability goes, they'd missed a few Interior items on the instruction call-outs, but everything has gone together swimmingly so far (Which is something to be said when it comes to full interior kits!) -Im waiting on an ATAK Zimmerit kit for the exterior treatment that should be here in a few days, metal tracks in mail too... -The only departure from the stock kit is I chose to use PanzerArt's (#RE35-018) >excellent< StuG IV upper hull/casemate* with additional concrete armor applied, the stock interior kit pieces fit relatively well to the after-market PanzerArt casemate w/o too much modding....(The PA box doesnt exactly say, but I believe its been purpose made for the Ryefield StuG IV kits? With just a minor bit of adjustments made so far) *Referring to fairly a recent RyeField (exterior only) StuG III Ausf G build where I'd heavily mod'd the G models uppermost/topside hull/crew access plate to fit PanzerArt's wonderful StuG III Ausf F "Upper Tank Hull w/Sandbags & Spare Track #RE-25-617) From the StuG III's earlier Ausf F model... (Wasnt easy whatsoever, as the PA resin piece's totally different 'Ausf F Models' top/crew access plate had to be carefully excised (Around all the sandbags & cast-in track pieces) & the F models rearmost back/firewall, bearing an angled plate removed & then married to the RF kits vertically oriented engine firewall armor plate, but it CAN be DONE with wonderful results (@ least Im happy with how it turned out!...It MAY be the only such example/mod here on the planet?...That feels good @ least!...;) 49:00 Ive seen more than a few WW2 era StuG's bearing field mods of hinged sheet metal covers, sometimes armor plates cut from spare Schurtzen plates, then welded, or through-bolted to hinges, or a piano-hinge type, then bolted to the crew roof plate. To help cover up the StuG III/IV notoriously leaky, horrible design fault around the mantlet/hull marriage area (A 'Feature' if you happen to enjoy water, mud, RAIN/dirt clods constantly raining down inside your ride!..;) >>Absolutely GORGEOUS Werk my friend!!!
@@coldemonspl Truly beautiful work dude, funny how in just a years short time span, upon looking @ previously finished models, one can see ones own skill progression as to overall quality improvements eh? I say such as Ive experienced same in a HUGE manner! On top of modeling since age 5-6, Im 49 years old now. For the last 13+ years Ive been laboring away, nearly full time on a WW2 Mega-Dio (5 x 9 foot base most likely? -Ive yet to begin base) Ive prob built, then RE-built all the models in the mega-dio one to two times over now due to skill progression, As I seek to achieve quality over quantity...Thats^ the main issue with loooong time span running projects!...Grrr...;) -Many differing LARGE scenes of ordinary life behind the main lines of resistance within the dio, as the kinetic ferocity of combat-themed dios/vignettes somehow always miss the mark IMO @ least. But the dios main scenes are of a few PanzerWerkStattCompany mechanics in a rural forward field repair facility. Normandy, France, Mid/Late June, or early July 1944, somewheres between Argentan & Falaise. About 18-20km's from Caen or so.... -Ive got enough $$$ into it to have purchased another HOME @ this point!?...Ugggh...Im Waaaay past the point of no return now!...Ha! I hope to donate it to a museum for free when finished.... -@ last count Ive got 650 finished 1/35th figures, most will prob be used in the dio, of which, @ least 1/2 that number are resin example figures @ 15-20$ per figure, you know tha drill/costs involved... -The Last few months Ive built a heavily mod'd TAM Sd.Kfz 9 FAMO & Sd.Ah 116 trailer w/Panzer Concepts & PanzerArt aftermarket items & the excellent TigerModelDesigns 6 ton FAMO Bilstein Crane resin conversion kit. A wrecked, but yet still repairable Sd.Kfz. 234/4 w/tons of aftermarket mods sitting on the Famos Sd.Ah 116 trailer. Just the FAMO alone without figuring in costs of the additional trailer AM items, nor Dragon 8 wheeled armored car & its AM kits came to nearly $400+ U.S alone?! $o it adds up rather rapidly & im not a wealthy man. Plus all the various buildings, tons of full interior tank/vehicle kits under all manner of repairs/disassembly.. -Im both super happy so many current model Co's are offering full interior kits for their vehicles & yet still sad I'd dumped so much $$$ into previously released resin AM conversion interior kits for all those past models, resin kits that used to be the only game in town for such additions!...Ha! (Cries softly;) I MAY begin posting vids of finished works? but the hobby itself takes enough time as it is, let alone, as you WELL KNOW, doing build vlogs, even if cut-down in size & content, for a 20 min vid takes a TON of time with all the assorted lighting/mic's, editing/assemblage & the video creation process! I REALLY admire all you guys n' gals that do such for the rest of us, as youre helping to not only SHOW, but TEACH beginner novices/journeymen & master modelers valuable new techniques, product applications, model reviews & new, old, or useful ideas shared. Such doesnt go un-noticed, nor under-appreciated in any manner! Ill sub to ya inna minute bud. Looking forward to viewing more of your vids!..;) Take care, ~C.L.R
Nice build as always. There is one thing im interested in. With all the pe and 3d printed parts you use on your models. which product did you use to remove ca glue residue?
Hello mr. Cold.i would like to know a little more about you.may i ask you? are you in a relationship?also i would like to know from you,do you have any pets.or what is your favorite meal? I also whant to encourage you wearing a respirator while airbrushing.With sticky greetings. Your fellow modellmate.christian
Are you in a relationship? - still, do you have any pets - I had a dog but now no pets at home, what is your favorite meal - dont have my favourite, I need to remember about the painting mask - you're right! Thx! :)
Hi Lukasz I love your work mate! But, I have a small favour to ask of you. Could you please back off a bit with your continued on screen please subscribe and like messages? We all get the message but it’s just distracting when you are trying to focus on your work. PS. Can you please relax with your Patreon requests? Some of your ‘Older’ subscribers are on pensions, or trying to get disability pensions and it’s a bit embarrassing when we just can’t afford to assist you. I personally get on a bit of a guilt trip as I just haven’t got any spare $$$ to help you out. Cheers again from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤😊
Well, thx for this comment. I was thinking about it but Im not sure where is the perfect solution. This is some kind of YT tradition but maybe I will try to reduce the amount of likes and subscribe icons, the same Patreon requests. Will see :)
