So after a few months of not being able to get any work done on my builds (Just started a new job).
(I did manage to finish my Alternate Future Leopard)

I finally had some time to actually get something finished and also time to start on some new things.


I know this thread started out being about 1/72, but I'm just really loving 1/100 Flames of War kits at the moment, so if you were looking for more 1/72 I'm sorry to disapoint.

But anyway lets got on to the show.


Hs-129
So I've had this thing laying around for some time now and thought it deserved better. This is the first time I paint an airplane since I was a kid and tbh think it turned out ok'ish.




Command Panther
So this is the Jochen Pieper kit from Battlefront and I've tried to paint it using some other techniques than usual also a different camo pattern. Still a long way to go.




Open Fire - Sherman Platoon (1)
So this is a couple of Shermans from Battlefronts awesome Open Fire set. This is the first time I've painted allied armor in some time, gonna be interesting. I tried my hand at some homemade sandbags. Like the Panther still a loooong way to go before they are finished.





More pictures and some better descriptions can be found on the blog Panzer March


Hope you liked it

Chris, I really like the Panther, it may not be proportionally correct, but it is like a cartoon. The way you have painted it suits that quality, and makes it look a bit crazy and over the top. This is 1/100th scale?

It's hard to avoid it looking abit cartoony in this scale if you want to show of the details.

Overall I think it turned out pretty nice

So I managed to finish the camo part of these Panthers now, now comes all the detail painting

Found a few pictures on my phone I had forgotten about, shows the masking process for the camo work.

Would recommend people to try it when doing hard edge camo, especially if you want to do shadows and highlights easily and actually not that time consuming to do (on 1/100 that is :-p)

And then a few shots of their current progress







As usual there are a few things I would have liked to be better, but that's the whole point of these projects to challenge my self in an attempt to get better
