This is my AFV CLUB M5. it is a last minute job as a gift for my good friend Tony who moving to Texas. I was going to do some Civil War figures as we were reanactors, but he mentioned he liked STUARTS so I finished this one.
Unit is C/3-33AR 3AD, my unit in Germany in 1975. He did a class on the 77th Liberty Division in Leyte and Okinawa. His dad was a VERY young first sergeant of the medical clearing company. He carried a BAR and would lend it out for patrols doing clearing opns near his position. Hence the BAR next to the TC.
Basic me stuff; pin washes, filters, pastels. This time I used some COMART fertile soil to spray under the fenders, running gear and the muddy parts of the base. In the future I will decide how dirty it will be before doing a lot of filtering.
First base went south rather early with a couple of good lessons learned so I knocked this one out in maybe 5 hours spread over 2 days. Again basic me stuff; modeling clay with hydrocal rocks from my stash, Woodland Scenes paint and foliage.
