StuIG 33B - Stalingrado, 1943

[Laurent Moitrot]

Here it is how it looked like the tarpaulin was later painted but I was not happy with the result. Probably because I should've weathered the grey paint prior to spraying the white. Which you did of course.



Also hair spray technique.
I used it later on my DAK Pz III G and was more satisfied.

Well, I make some changes in the layout: the Bf 109 wing is finished, but...it woul not be part of this diorama, because:
* I'm not convinced with the position on the terrain
* I'm not sure "how it cames there"
* Most of the terrain will be covered with snow, so, the wing will be hardly noted



So, here is the new layout:

















Any suggestion is wellcomed

well all i can say is I quite liked the 109 wing concept ...I'll regret it for sure.

Well, Laurent I missed the wing, so I bring it back to scene

I added a little of "snow" (actually, soda bicarbonate) glued with some diluted white glue and fixed with hairspray.








Some details of the wing roof: the fix sistem to the fuselage, hoses and wires

Good news ! the wing is back ! I like it a lot and you've done a great job with this wing. I mean the whole stuff's well done but I like it when it's scratch built. Some figures to add on this dioorama ?

Very nice work Darío.

Thanks, guys. Laurent, I had the intention of put a couple of panzer riders on the rear of the vehicle, but...maybe later.

Here some pictures of the latest adds (interior pics, no so good):









Some blankets made with Milliput


Rest of the window frame and hinges; the house number added


A 200 l. drum used by soldiers to make fire


The wing with the wingtip missed and the wires of the position light.






Some snow over the left fender. Note the barbed wire hooked at the spare track links


More snow over de right rear fender
