Cody Grayland Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Seams on the Svezda towing hooks were left untouched as that more closely replicated the crudely cast items typical on T-34's. Edited November 15, 2006 by Cody Grayland

Scott Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Wow Cody - very nice. I really like the worn, rusty look of the steel roadwheels - not an easy thing to replicate well. Thanks for sharing and look forward to seeing more of your work!Scott
Jim Baker Posted November 18, 2006 Author Posted November 18, 2006 Cody,Glad you're here. That is really a beautiful model. The detail work is really impressive.
Cody Grayland Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the welcome, guys.Built this early 70's-vintage Tamiya Stug III about a dozen years ago, long before Tamiya released their current new tool. At that time, I was still learning about armor and what the aftermarket offered, therefore, the P/E intake grills from 'On The Mark' were the only P/E used. Model still has the 'rubberband' tracks but also has many scratchbuilt and machined fiddly-bits to keep him ineresting. Overall, I think he's still a passable shelf model.Cody Edited November 20, 2006 by Cody Grayland
Cody Grayland Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) Machined(scratchbuilt) mantlet, barrel and muzzle brake. Edited November 20, 2006 by Cody Grayland
Cody Grayland Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Scratchbuilt antenna mounts, stowage loops on side of fighting compartment.
Jim Baker Posted November 23, 2006 Author Posted November 23, 2006 Overall, I think he's still a passable shelf model.CodyWell I guess so...... If not your shelf, mine for sure. Very nice!!!
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Cody.... that could knock a guy off his feet !!!!!
Bernie Brule Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Nice to see some old friends here. Not to mention the superb models...Thought I would post a picture of my full option 1/16th Tamiya Tiger. It's modelled after "Das Reich" Tiger S01 that fought at the Battle of Kursk in July 1943. It's stock except for idler wheel bushings, a gear reduction kit and metal tracks. Oh yes and I reinforced the bottom of the hull to accomodate the additional stress from the metal tracks.I can build them but unfortunately, I can't paint them. This one was professionally painted. I've got a King Tiger on order... The wait is killing me....
