This is a fine looking Panther, can't see it finished, Stug....Maybe if the panther is being good, I can let it play with my Nashorn....

Nice looking mud effect. What's next with it? Are you going to decal then dull that gloss down? Are you going to leave the mud glossy for the wet look?

Hey STEVE,
nice looking Panther.
What kind of markings are you going to have it wear?
How do you plan to weather the hull and turret?
One suggestion,
I think that you should add more variation to the mud on the wheels, ie. lighten tones drybrushed over the thicker mud to simulate dryed, caked on mud.
Looks good,
Andrew

I like it Steve! May I suggest a little dirt on the track shields? May I also say that I am also happy your little coating snafu didn't deter your efforts!Congrats you wasckly wabbit!

NIce Job so far ....Don't you hate it when something goes wrong so close to the end!! Well you seem to have recovered well and the only thing I could add to what has been said is to make sure you muck up your tracks to match your wheels ,but I'm sure you were going to do it anyways...a couple of good washes and a dust coat and you have another winner to add to the collection.

Hi SteveStug,

Nice mud cake on the road wheels. I think you can spray a flat clear over the clear coat to make it flat. Again, great Panther you have done!
