"I didn't choose the StuG life, the StuG life chose me.” Beau probably.

[@garynew9637]

Haha

[@MuseumsBloke]

Very much hoping that phrase appears soon on a new t-shirt design!

[@scottburton509]

That would be a GREAT T-shirt for AusArmor.

[@bobbymccourt6794]

Some one needs to make a meme of Bo with sunglasses and a joint with a gold chain that says up top “Stug Life” lol

[@kristoffermangila]

This reminds me of the "Tote Life" episode of I Bear Bears...

[@stephenduffy5406]

Exhausted Bo: "I never want to see another bloody StuG again ..." New StuG: "Guten Tag !!!"

[@neilgibbs3880]

“ALL IT NEEDS” I’ll remind you of that statement later Kurt? 😂😂😂 ( I did write Kurt but stupid text changed it. 🤣🤣🤣 )

[@thomassmart4088]

yeah had a laugh when he said that

[@markfryer9880]

Yeah, that is the kind of statement that can haunt a guy for life? 😮

[@54mgtf22]

Or Kurt even😂😂

[@njm3211]

😂😂😂😂

[@bradleysmith2021]

Sounds like car parts that “bolt right in”…after 5 trips to the hardware store! 😂

[@davidwarren9204]

I know I'm deep into a Stug-Hole, when my first thought is "Look at those beautiful bump-stops..."🤣😆🤣👍👍

[@BernhardtBauer]

Exactly my first thoughs: "Yooo, the guide rails aren't even bent!" xD

[@davidwarren9204]

[@stephenyoud6125]

Don’t forget the Torsion bars and housings !

[@stephenyoud6125]

Another one for Stugmeister Beau

[@jimnunn9232]

Gearheads …. The real showstopper was the Radio.

[@rickytrezise4674]

Don't care it's not Wednesday, post videos everyday, never tire of this great stuff!

[@fatcat3211]

This one is so ready to go together, it might as well say Tamiya on the inside. 😄

[@scottburton509]

I'd say IKEA, but the instructions are long gone. It's going to be an awesome series!

[@thomassmart4088]

eyyyy! a 1:1 kit model with all the parts!

[@johndehoog5567]

Well said!!! I'm still laughing.

[@rcrawford42]

Gonna need a 50 gallon drum of extra thin cement.

[@scottburton509]

I hope we can learn the history of this particular Stug. Loved it when Beau researched the Tiger's history and restored it to its former glory with the period correct paintjob.

[@MuseumsBloke]

Anyone care to make a bet as to how far into this rebuild Curt finds himself eating those words, “All it needs …”? The StuG Gremlins have great hearing and long memories.

[@TX-biker]

WORKSHOP FRIDAY😍😍 You realize you’re getting us addicted and dependent on these. Keep it up

[@jimnunn9232]

We are well past the “getting” and are in the you don’t need no f…ing turret zone

[@davidkimmel5153]

Thanks

[@corpnut2906]

very nice lower hull, I can't wait for the project to begin. I saw a restoration years ago of a B model and the owner used a FV432 power pack and it turned out great.

[@DerUrahn]

Es wird bald in Australien mehr fahrfähige deutsche Panzer geben, als aktuell bei der Bundeswehr! 😂 Grüße aus Deutschland! 👍

[@gerardhogan3]

Greetings my friend. Australia has the last surving WW1 A7V and a fantastic collection of WW1 Artillery as well. Those were all war spoils and divided up across towns in Australia. So you can drive into many random towns in Australia and see what I call a beautiful piece of German engineering near a local ANZAC Memorial. Some are in poor condition, some lovingly restored, some rare, some under cover, but hey get on a flight and come on over and see what your ancestors built. You are very welcome comrade.

[@DerUrahn]

Many thanks, my Friend! 👋

[@markfryer9880]

I hope that you weren't referring to your current military situation?😮

[@conceptalfa]

👍👍👍

I must be going insane! I've never been so happy to see a StuG hull and parts. Can't wait!

I think I need to emigrate and live in a tent behind AusArmour's workshops😎😎😎😎

[@lukefriesenhahn8186]

@@GilbertdeClare0704 I honestly think all viewers would want a job there! 😉

[@GilbertdeClare0704]

@@lukefriesenhahn8186 Man, that would be SO awesome ! Even the researching for a new project would fire me up, let alone just helping them when they are turning, milling or fabricating parts from scratch. Did my apprenticeship in my late teens, stripped down and rebuilt old British motorbikes, helped renovate a Ferret AC, and renovated my FFR Lightweight and just LOVE hitting those problems and having to work around stuff. I think I might need to book myself in for an AusArmour REHAB, as I'm totally hooked😉😉😊😊

[@peteedwards7157]

Love the way you say “All it needs” ☺️

Kolejny dzień w pancernym raju 😎👍. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇵🇱

An unexpected Good Friday Easter egg. Nice!

[@markfryer9880]

Yes it does classify as an Easter Egg of sorts. Not very edible nor easy to hide! 😢

[@bobbymccourt6794]

PLEASE! Make the episodes LONGER! I bet nobody would complain lol. Looking forward to this 👍🏻👍🏻

I need advance warning of longer episodes so I can brew more coffe!

Aus armour now has way to many StuG IIIs

[@tedstrikertwa800]

Very pleasing to see AusArmour has chosen the Stug Life

[@davekreitzer4358]

Was really hoping it was an original engine for the Tiger , but for now this will be a great project to watch come alive 😉✔️

[@RobertEHunt-dv9sq]

Fantastic. Best of luck with this new build. Thanks for the preview and taking time to post. Ich liebe den Sturmgeschutze

[@markdavis2475]

0:43, "no worries Ill get the angle grinder"😀

[@scottburton509]

And "A minor adjustment with a sledgehammer." Love that line.

[@karstenn.1430]

Looks like a easier homeprojekt, that everyone can handle 😂😉

[@dankuspanku4650]

Thought it was a panzer 3, but a StuG is even more exciting :)

[@markthompson4885]

Well Aus Armour you' all, might as well set up an Stug III production line. I want one too!

[@hoilst265]

Maddest thing about these guys is that they're in Townsville.

[@timovilkki5209]

From Finland. 👍👍👍👍

[@Qilin_Pegasus]

Huge respect for keeping busy and making history come alive. I hope I can attach my name to a project like this one day. At least I can donate!

[@desertviking]

Wow!

"All it needs...." -- FAMOUS LAST WORDS

[@paulday-lh5mx]

Omg guys! That is an amazing find. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait for next Wednesday. I have an idea for you guys. How about..... (1) Maintenance Monday. (2) Workshop Wendnesday. 😊 (3) Fix it Friday.

[@bobvines00]

You guys deserve an "easy" restoration every once in a while!

[@waynebenedict5785]

A nice guide to help on the other build.

[@jamessuman2151]

Yes! Love the stug 3b, the short gun and panzer grey looks way cooler I reckon. Looking forward to this one!

It's like Pokemon, got to catch them all 😁😁

Yay! Christmas came early. So cool and can't wait to watch another StuG 3 build!

Wish I could get an kit like that , mine are only 1/72

It looks a good bit easier than the variant you guys have been working on. But I know like with any project, there’s definitely going to be some welcome, and some not so welcome surprises.

Is Beau smiling? Is Beau joyous? 😉

[@steve1315]

Gonna be epic 👍

[@stephencox4224]

Once more our German friends see that the absolute best way to see WW2 German Armour and Artillery is to Visit Cairns in Australia and make that trip in August so you can ride in a real one at Aus Armourfest something I doubt you could do anywhere else unless very well connected

Thanks!
