Good Afternoon, Trower,
Welcome to the Forum. Books like this: http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Large-Scale-Arm ... /109109997 and sites like this: http://www.armorpax.com/ will be a help as well as a lot of accumulated knowledge and helpful sorts here on the Forum. Make sure to take pics as you work on your Stuart. We love to chat and kick the virtual road wheels around here.

Welcome Trower.... man when you jump into the pool that this hobby might be referred to... you jump into the deep end :haha:
1/6th scale is HUGE and HEAVY :O ... the exception is your Stuart... They do have so many possibilities for detail though... :thumbup:

Enjoy your new adventure :D
