I've seen magnets used before but not such an engineered solution.

What he hasn't realised is that it will now only drive North and South :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hopefull the right technical solution Adrian. - Maybe the StuG is now running faster to north or south :lol: :shock:

This magnets are verry smal, so I did some more to suck firmly tight enough.

cheers

Thx Björn,
the sand blast is first to hold welding and paint work tight. Secound for the rough opting in the finishing. It is a test for me to look how it works in the end with the weathering.

Well the best thing you can do is buy the kit first, and start to build last, if you're a newbe.
On my Famo build I was the secound starter. Sometimes not so easy, but helpfull in this forum.
Like to see your build soon :D

Having not much time this summer to build, but doing some work on the StuG details and finished the track wheels.

That was some great details Florian ,
Didn´t know that you could solder brass on steel :idea: :oops:
You have to share you´r technic :!:

I also like the :idea: with what I think is "bullet hitting the mg shield " 8)

Hi Björn,
its pretty easy.
Heat the steel with a hot flame, then solder the brass with solder.
You are correct with the MG bullet simulation ;)

Its going on.
Fortunatly the engines are installed, so I could fix the mid section an the track fenders. - With this I could paint the first color. Any more will be paint soon, after fixing some more details.
The tracks are running verry well. can't wait to see it running in terain :D
