Hello,

Today i did some welding on the stug.










Best regards Yves

[Marco Peter]

Your weldlines are subtle and seem to be spot on from the vehicles I've seen! Superb work!

[Roy Beukeveld]

Hi Yves,

Your weld lines are very nice indeed!
I still have to put some more practice into that before adding them to my actual model, but yours look great

You have made quit a bit of progress the past week! Nice!

[Phil Woollard]

Very convincing Yves!

[yves mouton]

Hello,

Thanks for the nice comments guys
yes i am on the roll with my stug build.
Tomorrow i have to go to work again, so no time to build

Best regards Yves

Verry good welding Yves,

sometimes the quality of armorpax is not like I use to have, but some parts you can use.
I am excited to see your details on it

Hello Florian,

It is strange that there is no working notek light on the market,
like the working Bosch light.

I just orderd on ebay a MG 34 for the stug

Regards Yves

Hello Yves,

the notek front or back is not so simple to build in serie I think.
I'll make the next ones by my own.

The next model for me is now finaly in the announcement. - the Hetzer I like the smal fast light tank. He also needs a notek

Regards
Florian

Hello Florian,

My hope was a sdkfz 251
Maybe next time

Tomorrow i dont have to work so i am gonna work on the stug again,
i have my M2 bolts from Knupfer technik in Germany for the return roller wheels hub caps.

And i am gonna do the welding on the 14 wheels.

Best regards Yves

[florian rudolf]

Knupfer is about 20km far from me So all the screws and so on I get there.
Best quality, lovely persons and best support...

Unfortunatly I have to work much, so less time to do someting

[yves mouton]

Hello,

Today i insert the M2 bolts in the hub caps for the return rollers.



I made a template to mark the weldings on the wheels.





And finally all the wheels are done welding.



Best regards Yves

[florian rudolf]

Verry nice Yves,

I like the way you made the caps of the return rollers, but how do you do the sunk screw? - I would make it with a model hex srew from Knupfer. It M4?!
The welding of the rolls are verry good. I'll do it also

[yves mouton]

Hello Florian,

I cut down the screws for the return rollers and the stug wheels and glue them in.
The bolts are M2 for the return roller hub caps
The bolts are M2,5 for the hub caps for the wheels.
Also put the rubber tires on the wheels.

best regards Yves

Hi Yves, the bolts on the caps look really nice

How do you profile your welds? The structure looks like a straight flat line, screwdriver maybe or did you make something for it?
