Started working on my Bolt Action US Army and German Heer this week. Here is the first completed vehicle out of the nearly 8000 points of stuff I have so far:

STUG III Ausf G

Solid colours, decent weathering from what I can see in the pictures. I would love to play a Russian or German WWII Bolt Action, but unfotunately nobody is interested in historical games where I live, only 40K.

Thank you for the C&C. I will be adding more detail once all my source books get here. Will update with more pictures.

Well, I am noticing that there has been an uptick in people playing since 6th ed 40k came out.

Nice job Pipboy! How was the kit to put together? I might pick up a tank to go with my German demo crew.

I've got some old 1/56 scale metal and resin shermans that I'm using for my Americans, including a Bolt Action Sherman, which was a breeze to put together.

All in all it was a super easy kit to put together. One piece of resin was warped but it was on the rear track guard which I left alone since it looks like it got bent up during normal wear and tear in the field. Just like most Warlord products there is not guide on building with the kit but the parts are pretty stright forward.

The only part that was a pain was the skirt supports on the upper hull. The are small metal and I had to cut out all the flash from the middles. It was really thin but it filled in the entire piece. Then there is find the right mounting spots and this is where a guide would have been great as you don't see them really in the pictures provided on the box. However, they are much easier than the skirt supports for the Panzer IV G. OMFG that made one want to scream or cry.

Right now I am uber detailing the 251/1 C Hanomag Halftrack for my Vet Panzer Grenader Assualt Rifle squad while I am waiting for my source books for the STUG III G. The plastic 251/1 kit is nice but lack alot of interior detal.

Cool tank, nice paint job. Would you happen to know if there are any modern warfighting games out there that are similar?

That's one sexy tank destroyer. I'm not a huge fan of it in WOT but it looks great especially with the spaced side armor.
