Thank you all for the kinds words! There are a few more pictures of my other builds on Flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/32068090@N07/albums

Great looking build Chops! You have some skills! 

Nice job!  I LOVE Tamiya's figure firing the .30 Cal - such a massively cool pose.  And to think they did that kit over 40 years ago.  I also think this version of the Stuart is the only really cool looking version.  The turret looks so much better than the older riveted boxes.

Thank you! I have been looking into the tools used to make grab handles. This is definitley something on my wish-list!

There are many type of hand rail folding devices, some are fairly inexpensive like this one for $12.50. Others vary.

This one's around $30

Oh wow, that's some sharp work! 

Please post more Chops!!!! 

That's a great looking Stuart tank. The weathering is spot on and if you want to add mud, I suggest put it on a base. As for the wire grab handles, all you need is wire and small pliers to bend them the exact length.

Looks great! I especially like the figure!

S.H.

The Stuart looks fine as is!

Howdy!

I'd say it turned out very nice. I like the OD a lot. Looking at the close-up photos I'd say you might want to consider switching out plastic grabhandles for ones made out of wire - this way your builds might look even better!

Thanks for sharing and good luck with your next builds, have a nice day!
