I know you're on a budget but sometimes I can't help but question your use of materials - and then you blow me away with your results! Excellent work, I especially like how you modified the old Tamiya figures 👍
Hello Jerry. Yeah, i often question myself too :) But having a string budget, one must be resourceful to use cheap and available materials around us. I don't have the luxury and the finances really of buying quality and expensive upgrades and aftermarkets (sad boi) but whenever i do have a few moneys, i'd buy them. Thank you so much Jerry, means a lot to me. Also, thanks for viewing. I appreciate it very much mate. Cheers Sir.

Hi Robert. I'm glad you liked the resurrection of an old Academy Stug Kit. Thanks for your kind words, it keeps me motivated to continue on this measly channel of mine. I appreciate your viewing the video. It keeps me afloat. Cheers.
@@Toni_G_Castroviejo Awesome work my friend. Fantastic. I saw the video. I love the structures / buildings. How i wish i come close to your work there. An expert really. Tops overall.
Hello. Gee thanks Sir. I am really recycling all the old built models as my finances are nil or very low (sigh :(). Plus helps me to save space as well. Cheers. Thanks for viewing.
You've done justice to your friends old Academy kit.....great job with the rejuvenation of the previously built kit, then set in in a well-executed, poignant and constructed diorama. A pleasure to watch your videos....thanks for taking time to share with us, Ivan.
Hello Robbo. I am gushing with shyness. Thank you for your kind words. You see, i am really down on my luck right now, no work, low income so i try to muster left over kits or built ones and resurrect them just to keep me going without necessarily spending. I am cutting down on buying kits this year in order to pay bills. Thank you for viewing. It means a lot to me. Cheers.
@@IvanTheTerrible911 Sorry to hear about your financial situation....really sucks at the moment and mostly come about because of COVID and its effects on the world economy.

@@robbo1068 Hello Robbo. I appreciate very much the offer. I just don't want to impose anything on my pals on UA-cam and kits are quite pricey nowadays. I will survive hopefully. Thank you very much for the generous offer really. You are so kind Boss Robbo. Good things happen to people like yourself. God Speed my friend. You made my day.
@@IvanTheTerrible911 Totally understand and no imposition on me. I have a large stash which I probably will never get through so if ever you change your mind in the future, happy to help. Anyway, glad that I made your day. 👏
Thank you so much. Budget is tight and i need to recycle whatever i have right now. Space Saving is my priority as of late. Thank you for viewing mate. appreciate it very much.
a few years ago I made a sketch of a Hetzer on a hill guarding a road from under a tree. This actually looks pretty similar to the diorama here. nice work 👍👍
Looks great! You have all perseverance in the world. I'd like to return to this hobby after maybe 25 years of absence but even when I assembled models as a kid I've never done anything close to such diorama.
You did a great job on your diorama .you where a big help for am glad that you can us hornet heads for tamiya figures again a real big think you you have a great and nice day be safe happy modeling
Hello Patricia. I have ben an ardent supporter of Hornet heads specially the person behind such articulate difficult and wonderful sculpting. Thanks for viewing. Cheers.
Hello Wayne. I am sooo glad you liked the video and hopefully your were entertained. Thank you for subscribing Sir. You made my day. It means a lot to me. Cheers my friend.
Hi Neville. I use sculptamold or actual dirt with white glue or roof sealant or silica sand with white glue or DAS clay or paper mache. Hope this helps my friend. For this build i used sculptamold and paper mache. See you again.
Hello Adam. Not very many is a fan of it as it requires plentiful sanding. I use this technique when the gap is way too large but i still prefer the hardware grade Epoxy Putty. It's worth a try nonetheless. The powder speeds up the drying and solidifies the solution. Works like a dentist's filler. Cheers.
love your work man. you ever use latex to cover those copper wires on your trees? It works out pretty well.. but yours looks great too. i've been thinking about buying some old built kits and doing something similar. with kit costs being so much, you can usually find someone cleaning out a closet from a 1980's build or something. great way to repurpose.
Hi Michael. I appreciate the compliment mate. Thanks. Haven't used latex but if you can recommend one i will surely try it. What i used to coat the copper wires was just a simple Surfacer 1500, the key here is to twist just a few strands of the thin wires just about 3 strands and coat it. set it to dry. You can use Isopropyl Alcohol as an alternative bath to remove the old paint. I love the idea of you buying old kits, makes sense and its budget friendly. Thanks for viewing mate. Hope you can subscribe :) Cheers.
Hello John. It is a local manufacturer in our country in South East Asia. You can use Isopropyl Alcohol as an alternative. It works well too. Leave it overnight in a bath and voila! Hope this helped a bit. Thanks for viewing Sir. Cheers.
Buon giorno sono un tuo fan ma volevo chiedere in teoria la scena non dovrebbe svolgersi ne lato sano ? Se e sto colpito sarebbero ancora esposti al fuoco o mi sbaglio ? Cmq e magnifico
Ciao Giorgio. Lo Stug è un vecchio relitto ed è stato fatto per diventare una copertura difensiva della squadra dell'esercito tedesco mentre a piedi Patrol. Questo è stato quando dopo un pesante firefight con gli alleati dopo gli sbarchi, sono diventati appuntiti infliggendo il soldato "ferito". Un amico si prende cura di lui mentre un ufficiale lo conforta. Grazie mille. Grazie per la visione di Giorgio.
Looks really cool! I have seen this vehicle in real life since our polish museum has the only vehicle in driving condition. That leg wound looks insane. In case i missed the fact - what figures did you use?
Hi Mike. Thank you very much. The Figures were just the old 1990s Tamiya Figures. Had to repose and sculpt a few. Cheers. See you soon and thanks for dropping by.
I wonder how these German soldiers would feel if they were in combat, a tank with broken treads and side armor, an injured soldier they are being attacked while low on ammuntions. But hey, I guess that's why it is so stressful to serve in the military or such.
Hello XboxNerd117. I could only imagine. The horrors of war. A beleaguered squad and running out of supplies and perhaps luck. Yeah, agree with you entirely. Thanks for viewing and support. See you again mate. Cheers.
