Thinking I'll use these with my FJ once painted. Have a hankering for Italy '43 these days.

Panzers







Semoventes





Stugs

Amazing paint.

Only the tiny bases give away that they are miniatures.

Well done.

Very nice indeed!

Was the stug a natural progression from the semoventes?

Thanks, all!

Bergil - Are you asking if the Stug was developed from the Semovente, or are you asking if my painting technique developed from one to the other?

Managed to answer my own question! The Semovente was an Italian design sticking their 75mm guns into a chassis. Of which there were two types named the Semovente... Bit of history for you there.

The semovente looked to me like an 'old' version fo the stug, so that was my question.


Your painting is very nice regardless!
