Alan 47 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 This is tamiya's 1/35 M3 Stuart light tank and a very enjoyable build it was , Ive done this knocked out as I have never done one before The damage was done by first using a small grinding tool to thin the plastic so it could be bent and cut to give a more realistic she'll hit It's brush painted with humbrol and revel acrylics and the weathering is oil paints with some humbrol smoke weathering powder 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Love it, the Stuart is one pig ugly tank but one great modelling subject. Top notch build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Cracking build. These tanks were no match for panzers, but beat the hell out of the Japanese tanks. Like the stance you have made. Great stuff. foxy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcclure Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Excellent - I like that very much indeed and we rarely see armour depicted like that so what a nice change. Super work. Cheers, Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Very nice indeed. I've just realised it's on glass. I was about to ask what fish are in the water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan 47 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks guys I really appreciate the kind words , I usually do a scruffy worn piece of armour and seeing some great burnt out tank wrecks at a show a few weeks ago I thought I'd have a go myself I'll have to wreck up a German tank next Thanks again folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Moore Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Fantastic build! I've always wanted to do a burnt out wreck. You've made a great job of this one. Really well integrated with the base too. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredben Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Very nice Alan. First class job on a burnt out Tank. Just enough damage not over the top with the explosion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboydim Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 An excellent finish. You've made the battle damage very convincing. The tracks look very good, as does the shell hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan 47 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Cheers guys I'm pleased you like it How did the tank get onto that tiny island? well you know the Americans , they never could get their armour where it was supposed to be in WWII, this one should have in at Sicily:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
