Going to try and recreate the latest Night Shift. The only difference being the vehicle. He used a Panzer 38(t) I am going to use a STUG III.  WHY? Is it possible to follow what he does and achieve a similar result? This will be fun!!!! |

Thanks Paul and wouter. Not many parts to this, hence the price I suppose. Anyway, here is the build so far. Not sure what will be stuck and what removable at the moment.  |

Sorry for the late reply, guys. Build is done and had a go at doing weld seams, my first. Not up to the Night Shift standard so there is one draw back.  |

Thanks bwilt and Ian. Not up to Night Shift standard so 1 nil to him. Bit of extra on mine, as he would have done, I reckon, so the score is now 2 - 1.  |

Welds can be tricky little sods.
I use either stretched sprue or a syringe with acrylic putty and a 0.3 -0.5mm glue applicator from Loctite.

I cut a toothpick into the right shape to make the weld seams. Stretched sprue softened with Tamiya extra thin does the trick, and Magic Sculpt works for me too.
