21C/TUS M5 Stuart painted by Scott Carter (Repost 2005)

This is one of my oldest vehicles.
The original post was made in September of 2005!



At the time I did not know of Scott Carter from Faded Armor, who had altered and painted this TUS Stuart for Steve(Panzerwerk).
Very unique camo on this one, at the time I had given it a “time and place”of Italy, but sometime in the future, when I get to the allied side of my Normandy project, It will be part of it for sure!
As mentioned below, I added the bundles, tarps and boxes and a little wear here and there. The original post had Clubphoto hosted images and Clubphoto of course disappeared many, many years ago. So for most of you some of these pre-historic images will be new.
I took these with a Mavica 90 camera that used FLOPPY DISKS! Remember those things! Jajaja!
Of special note is the mention of a corner of my gaden with potential! This was the very first time I placed anything between the ficus saplings in my yard! I later would clean out the leaves and “trees” and of course have used this corner MANY times!

Back then I posted the following:
I can take VERY limited credit for this one as all the work was done by the previous owner (to the best of my knowledge) who was Steve (panzerwerks).
I got this vehicle maybe two years ago (maybe more) and in those pre-DML Mac days, decked out the crew in mainly Cots and TUS items.
Left the crew as before but I always had pending placing equipment on the vehicle to give it more of an "in-action" look.
Added some more wear with graphite and some more wear here and there with drybrushing.
Also went outside and found a little corner in my garden that I now realize has GREAT potential...
I have to work on it a bit and it will be a good spot for some future photoshoots, with a little prep work, like getting rid of all the dead leaves!
Here are some images, if you want to see the earlier images they are in this linked ClubPhoto album together with these images and others I took yesterday...

Here the low resolution images of back then!
First the tank with a crew I put together from mostly 21C US tanker parts:















Here after adding some bundles and basic equipment to the tank. Will definitely upgrade some of the equipment down the line, as some of the basic equipment has improved a lot over the last 7 years!:











Finally some mages “among the trees”, the very first time I tried this… Later I cleared the leaves on the ground and cleared the live leaves in the lower area of the saplings to make them look more like 1/6 trees…
