pacificmustang Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 What an excellent job Jack. I found your WIP very informative too. Also love how your weathering is not over the top Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philtn Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 that is the BEST land vehicle I've seen in a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Nacho, BeeKay, pacificmustang, and philtn - thanks very much! Given the vehicle has only been in action barely two days, not much battle damage, and weathering was kept mainly to the lowers. The rest was just a much downplayed colour modulation technique. There was some dusting on the rear and fenders, but most of it was lost somewhere between the paint booth and photo shoot. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Wonderful, I thought the first photo was the real thing. Absolutely spot on. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thank you, Pete. ----------------------------- I've made one adjustment since posting. The periscope mount on the commander's hatch has been painted olive, replacing the white. regards, Jack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olibob65 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 lovely build and fantastic weathering and figures, what else is there to say but superb….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAYELL Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I didn't think a Stuart could look as good as this. Construction, painting and photography all first class (especially the first shot photoshopped (note to self.... I must learn how to use this)) Good Job Cheers K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Olibob65 and KAYELL - thanks lads. I didn't think a Stuart could look as good as this. K Maybe American built vehicles look more interesting with Commonwealth markings. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblestripe Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Lovely model, I'm just off to read the wip. One thing I must comment on, that no one else has mentioned, is the posture of the commander, wonderfully natural and it makes such a difference to the realism of the model. Top work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
