thanks KAMIKAZE and tmanthegreat

for an easy transaction and a lot of nice publicity on my Schurtzen.

I would thank the others who purchased, but in most cases I cannot relate screen names to real names and Ebay names.

I won't enter the contest as I am a friend of KAMIKAZE's, but I have this suggestion for somebody:

Having the 1/6th version would be a big help, but there are many reference photos on the web.

Jagdpanther conversion kit?

Who would be interested in a Jagdpanther conversion kit?

I am working on most of the parts to do one for myself, but the gun will require some specialized molding. If enough people are interested, I will check into getting a mold for it made.

PM me.

Those look just great, T-man. I'm impressed with your brackets. The latest batch I had cut include small plastic brackets that glue on the Schurtzen to hang them on the existing hooks - funtional, but not accurate like yours. I'm also very pleased that you are happy with the quality. That comes from...

I had some hanger brackets made up for these, which allow them to be removed. All new orders on Ebay will include them, and I am mailing them out for free to all those who already purchased the Schurtzen. Am a nice guy, or what? 8)

21st needs to see your work and get a few ideas :shock: :idea: :wink: I agree. With the platforms they already have out there, the Stug IV, Brumbar, Jagdpanzer IV, Jagppanther, and Sturmtiger could all be made relatively cheaply.

Rant: Walmart "distribution"

I check nine different Walmarts regularly in the northern half of San Antonio and nearby towns. I have yet to find an Avenger, any of the new 1:18 haltracks, or the 1:18 Pak 40. Yet I found 30 Pz IVs (both colors) at one store (none at the others) on clearance sale, and about a dozen Migs at another...

Stug IV finished pics

The Stug IV is finished, except for some weathering which will have to wait until the paint dries about a week. The Schurtzen are the ones I had laser cut and I am selling on Ebay. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-11/1228693/stug-3.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-11/1228693/stug-4.jpg htt...

I know there were at least three different styles used. If these sell well, I will make the others.

That's coming. Still a long way to go.

Yeah, and that's one of their worst offerings. It looks like it has 32 flat tires or an Elefant was dropped on it.

Things are a little slow here, so I'll post a couple of pics of a Stug IV I'm working on. Sorry, no kits for this one - too much work. I don't know why 21st doesn't put out some of these variants. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-11/1228693/stug-1.jpg http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-11/122869...

Did you do the conversion? Great work if you did.
I have the Schiffer book Ford at War, which covers only German Fords. They used everything they could get their hands on.
