Default Story of Two StuG's

Hi All,

I have been working, slowly maybe Snell speed, on two HL StuG III G's. One is a conversion from a HL Panzer III L/M while the other is an HL StuG III G tear down rebuild as a Late StuG III G. So here we go, photos on the progress I have. I have been working on the Saukof Mantlet for the Late StuG most recently. I used a Bandai StuG IV as a guide to scratch this one for the StuG III. I have textured the engine deck and lower hull on the Early StuG based on the Panzer III M hull. Also added weld beads to the engine deck. Removed the smoke/self defense grenade launchers from the front of the Late StuG III upper hull and filled the space/recess that was left as well. I have added the track tension upgrade to the StuG III based on the M hull as well. I have tried a product that you can get from Michael's to age/rust the exhaust/mufflers. Looks really cool. let me know what you think. Hope to do more to both StuG's this weekend!!!
