I used Vallejo paints, Mig oils and pigments. 1/48 scale

nice panther .like it greg good job

Well done Mate, i like the dirt clogged road wheels

Thanks guys. To get the built-up mud effects I apply small piles of pigment and then just give them a dab from a slightly soaked brush of thinner (too much thinner will cause it to spread out too much).
HTH

Sweet Panther Greg. Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing. Nice job on the base too.

Thanks James. The base is my simple formula: painted Das Clay slab with my patented "Polymeric Sand" , Silfor grass Tufts, and Pigments sprinkled dry on top. The Polymeric sand is for sidewalk paver joints to prevent weeds, so I guess it could also work as a home maintenance tax write-off. Build up layers and it hardens up after sprayed with water. Works for me. Trees I'm lost on.

Cheers

NIFTY! I like it. I guess that goes under the "found" items category.

Good looking Panther Greg. Like how you've finished it and placed it on the display base. Nice zimmerit, how did you do it? Was it part of the kit, or a homemade/aftermarket kit?

Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks Jim and Tim. The Zim is from the Voyager PE set.

awesome looking Panther Greg one tiny question tho what scale is it as it's hard to judge from the photos but if i had to guess i'd say 1/35th

Nice panther Greg.I didn´t realise it was 1/48 scale iniatially either.
One thing that is apparent to me, is that the weathering is not consistent. The tools are all weathered, mud on the wheels and oil stains on the back deck ... all well done ... but the rest of the tank is too clean. A dark wash to give depth would be a good start, and then see what needs toucjing up to tie in the rest of the weathering.
There will always be the discussion about whether to weather or not ... but whatever choice is made ... it should be consistent throughout the vehicle IMO.

Cheers for that Frank i thought it was 1/35th at first well spotted sir

Thanks Lyndon and Frank.

Weathering the PE zimmerit perplexed me as others advised not to use a darker wash on the zim because the darker color wouldn't match the non-zim areas. So, I tried to just filter and light dust those areas but it does look too clean still. Anyone know how to battle-damage PE zim? for future reference?

Thanks again, Greg
