Rommel gives Patton a bloody nose

[Alan 45]

here's my finished M3 Stuart light tank set in Tunisia 1943


The kit is an old tamiya one but it goes together very well and has some beautiful moalded detail not to many parts infact this was put together in a couple of hours


I painted it in humbrol 26 khaki for the main base colour with light grey and okra highlights

Very nice, well made and great highlights mate. Like this and will get a kit to do this tank.

That's really good Alan! The faded OD is excellent & the weathering just right - looks all worn & dusty!


A couple of figures inspecting the damage would make it perfect

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys I appreciate that


Patrick I did look for some today but I couldn't find any that would suit it well American or german anyway but our show is coming up in a few weeks so I'll take a look then and see what I can get

Great looking tank and base there Alan one to be proud of.I have to agree with Patrick a couple of figures would really compliment your great work cheers John

Awesome

[Alan 45]

Thank you for your very kind words guys


Rob I have about three builds on the go at one time and build in the evening while watching rubbish on the goggle box , most time I have only painting to do it depends on the detail a kit has but this one I started Sunday evening and couldn't leave it alone the base was started yesterday afternoon and finished today the tank only needed highlights this morning

 

[grumpa]

Great work Alan! Weathering and battle damage Spot On, great little base too

 

[Doug Hughes]

Fantastic, Alan. One small detail sums it up for me - the way you've highlighted the edges of the front machine faring. Great work!

Oh the time spent modelling is fantastic but my shifts for work are all over the place so I sleep on a lot of my days off but yes like you Alan I have a few projects and umpteen partly built kits waiting for the right reference material and since joining here I want them to be perfect ( or best as God damn it) really going to look into more dios though

I'm lucky if that's a term you can use as I look after my wife and kids so once all the house work is done I'm free for the day so I get to do my builds and it's much more enjoyable than watching jeramy Kyle and loose women whitch the latter is not the programme I thought it was

I had left a comment but it's disappeared.


The build looks great, the finish is excellent. Great job

Nice job Alan, the place where you put the damage is very legit. Those flat panels were juicy targets. Great base...top build all around.
