The Haunted Tank (M3 Stuart)
The Haunted Tank!
I love these old Hasegawa (Minicraft) boxes.
Not a ton of sprues... more rubber tank treads.
Relatively easy to put together.
1/72 M3 Stuart tank... 1/32 General JEB Stuart...
I only need one general and one horse for this project...
Size comparison looks about perfect.
Yeah... this is gonna work! I can feel it!
Hmmm... which horse....?
Let's get all the wheels sorted out.
Starting to come together now.
Wheels assembled, painted and glued in place.
Not sure what that sausage was supposed to be, but JEB needs a better sword...
Two-part mould completed... let’s see if this works!
Yeah... no. This was a bit too tricky to attempt. Too many bubbles, missing limbs, shifting moulds... darn. Back to Plan A I guess.
Meanwhile, back at the tank. Drilled out the barrel and added the last fiddly bits.
Last few bits painted. I think the ghost needs a few more coats of white paint though...
Painting done and a Future applied. Now for some panel wash, then the dreaded treads!
Tank treads on, decals applied. I used Doc’s Decal Solution for the first. It worked great!
