Armortek

Not to much done to the Stug for a couple off days .
Mostly rebuild off the man cave to be able to work during the Autumn/Winter.

Change place for the spare wheel , drill and tap for the spare wheel holder.
Keep it from roll around when driving.

At last some detail work today , after a long absence due to much IRL things .

Did some small mods on the 10t Jack and holders.

Just slim them down abit and ad a bolt/nut Add another handle mostly to keep it from moving around to much . Next was the Tetra mostly a clean up and then drill and tap for two 1/72 bolts to keep it in place. And as a final for today some small work on the Tow hatch.

Only some small details done
Small try to copy "Stannard´s" sure miss him Not finished due to material lack Mount Test fit off Tetra "Notek dummy only for measurement" Had to fix the shovel holder , not sure what went wrong here My own attempt All for now have a nice weekend

Working on those tool clamps form Armorpax real pleasure to work with only mod was some bolts on them insted off plastic rods. Next thing was the sledge hammer , to hasty should have test it before Had to make another mount for it no big deal , left to do is shorten the shaft a tiny bit and make the head more accurate Then on to the jack made some small mods to be able to change direction off it. Oh those ref books go to you´r head Then a axe holder on its way , a not so tidy bench at the moment Also took the time to change position off the spade , and made a mod to the prybar who could have thought that you could
found the idea in "On Display book about Stug III " A little holder to the cleaning rods thats about it for now on the Stug 57

Verry nice your tool clamps / holderparts.
Thats also my work soon. Such details make the model living

Agree Florian they sure do,

In a flow at the moment just try to keep it going
Come up with a on those cone bolts , "probably invented the wheel again " any how my version
cut drill and tap 3mm Also found in the scratch box two ex Corally details that I will use for the " start cover nuts " After that" brain storm" just some small deatils to drive spockets See you

Right.
The Kegelscrews are realy short for the back side, but it worked in my case.

You are in a nice workflow now Björn.
Great detailes.
Robert

Not much done today mostly read those books ,some adjustment to length off those cleaning rods and moving the holder off them
to hasty should have learn by now and prepare for some filling on the hole /screw . A holder for the S-hooks Have a nice weekend

Back in the "black smith" try to learn how to solder brass on steel

Started out with this little fellow , that went ok Next was the MG shield , some re-position and other mounts First try out with the mg , after that the ego was boosted End result , Couldn´t resist a try out So on to next object

And we have a new Master Builder here.

Robert

That is some good work you made there Björn.

Any one have a clue
