Hey Ausf, that Stug? Wow. That's one serious piece of great work. The Stug is one tank I still want to add to my collection, and those two photos gave me all kinds of inspiration and ideas. Now I have to find a Stug to start with, and I think the metal chassis job from taigen might be the way to go. What do you think?

Everything I have has either been heavily modded or scratch built, and I do battle them. My mediums get killed early frequently, but I get in some good licks once in awhile.

My kids always yell at me that I never drive my tanks. I have more fun in building them and then displaying them in my office. However, I dont have an apple yet, so maybe once I do, things will change.

Thanks for the kind words.

That's straight $100 HL from Amazon. Personally, I'd stay away from the metal, but the Mato lower looks damn sweet. The reason being metal would pose a lot more work to alter. I changed the incorrect return roller height and added the traverse, neither easy to do with metal parts. The Schurzen (functional) could still be mounted on metal, but all the stowage, PE, Notek and convoy lights would be a royal pain to mount since everything is wired in place to survive battling. Zim, etc would be fine.

It has the DBC/Benedini/preamp and Visation set up and the apple is in the cupola with functioning periscopes (again, something really hard to pull off in metal). I didn't have acess to a PC to really makes use of the Benedini programming, but since then my son has bought one for gaming, but I sold the StuG last year.

Here's more photos Max:

Sure about that Jeff? I know I conveted my WSN while I lived in CA in 2004 and they had been out for a bit since Daryl was already doing his aluminum arms by then. I don't remember any HL's being out by then but I could definitely be wrong. That was a lot of beer ago.
