Not a lot of manufacturers are making the Scott, hence I went on a limb and tried a resin model. I am no expert with resin, my attempt to do an elaborate drill of the barrel ended in disaster, ad since I am no expert with Green Stuff either, well, the repairs are all but seamless.

This said, for its low price (6£) the model is quite good in my opinion, and will not be out of place among the rest of my plastic models.

BTW, this is the stock model, the crew is included in the model.

That´s very nice work, I like it. Grubby´s stuff is usually quite nice and there´s nothing wrong with the prices!

The only negative thing is some of the molds are quite tired and need replacing. I have two of his panzerjager Is, clearly from two different molds. The newer one looks great, while the one from the old mold comes complete with battle damage. huh?

Ah, thanks for the feedback Texas Jack! I'd been looking for ages exactly for a Panzerjager I and well, that's a rare beast indeed. Guess I'll give Grubby's a try then.

I looked for it for ages as well! :) Hopefully I got the last one from the old mold. I have my eye on his 2pdr portees, those are tough to find at a decent price as well.

Very nice work! I buy Grubby's products as well. I have lots of them.

There was a very good M8 conversion available from Cpl Overby for the PSC M5 Stuart but as we discussed recently in relation to Kangaroos, the Motorpool is no more. Old review here:

As an aside and iirc, that was a conversion set that also gave rise to some copyright issues between Mr Overby and PSC…
