Heisler:
I'm going to leave the title somewhat generic simply so that I can put my builds into a single post. I tend to work on multiple models and in phases so there is always something going on that I can work on when I only have a few minutes. Even in the middle of this pandemic my wife always seems to find ways to occupy my time with something other than building models.

Phase 1 - Build in progress
Phase 2 - Priming
Phase 3 - Painting in progress.

I break out priming and painting separately since I tend to let models build up here I have enough to make priming worth while or I'm ready for the next item in line. Oh and I'm only including the Rubicon Kits in this list.

Currently:
Phase 1 - Resin M32B1, Jagdpanther
Phase 2 - M4A3E2 (conversion kit), M4A3/76,
Phase 3 - StuG IIIGs (3) and StuH 42

Heisler:
I’m in the detail portion of the build for the M32B1 ARV now, there are some pieces for the cables that will need to be scratch built. I have also just about wrapped up the painting and weathering on my U304(f) project so I can finally get back to my STuG III project. I acquired a book, well several, that has a picture that really caught my attention “STUG III & IV; German Army, Waffen-SS and Luftwaffe, Western Front, 1944-45”. On page 17 is a picture and a color plate of a STuG from the 341st Sturmgeschutz-Brigade. It has modified skirts and a debris shield over the gun mantlet. I thought if I could get match the skirt modification it would be a good unit to model.

Here’s my attempt at the modified side skirts. I think this is a winner, just need to work over the rest of the side skirts and make the debris shield.

Clever use of a mortar. Need to work on a panther breakdown vehicle at some point and get a panthersturm done at some time

Heisler:
I thought I would share my build on the M32 ARV from my blog. The links are in order. I’m paused on the build at the moment as I work through adding some extra details.
