well guys i could not recommend this kit enough I enjoyed the build very much with the kit going together really well I used fruil tracks and aftermarket barrel , the base that everyone seems to like is a mat from Historex called " steps" which I have used for the first time and recommend it .

This I like, it's nice and simple but yet, very effective.

I believe the old trick is a nut and bolt through the hull of the tank and into the base...making sure the bolt is counter sunk into the base!

I usually run a self taping wood screw with a coarse thread through the base into the bottom of the tank which I can tighten depending on the environment to create weight of the tank on the ground

I do love a STuG & that's a fine example Steve! The paint & camo is spot on for the era. Nice crew figures (they add so much to an AFV) & the vignette base is the perfect setting.

Cheers
