Tamiya M3 Stuart 1/35 Completed
Posted by Niko on Friday, January 17, 2020 11:19 AM

Hello,

I had some fun making this little M3. I tried to do a Russian snow-painted Lend Leased version instead of the usual American or British variant. I base painted it in olive green and used the hairspray method to apply the snow camo.

I then made a strange decision and added Tamiya diorama dirt. IMO I think it ruined the winter look to the vehicle especially since the dirt is such a rich, warm brown. Maybe the tank just experienced the Soviet Rasputitsa.

What do you guys think?

Well, the whitewash is coming off so the M3 could be rolling though a spring thaw and got all muddy. 

Nice job, very cool! Yes

I love the whitewash effect. That's something I haven't accomplished yet.

Well done!
