Hi, My first time on this site. Here are some sample images of my current project - old Dragon Panther II. Any comments welcome! Dmitry

Looking good Dimitry. I like the way you have the camo pattern on the barrel. I 've got one too that I started last year but have been unable to find the time to work on for far too long. Kinda lost momentum at the individual trak stage.
Keep up the post. Maybe you can taunt/inspire me to find some time to work on mine. :-)

Got a little more done. The turret is pretty much done. Now on to the hull and the wheels/tracks.

Thanks for looking, Dmitry

The tracks threw me for a loop. The wheels were glued in place and the run was too short, but when I added two more links, it became way too long. I even made a combination link from 2, but in the end just wiggled it around until it worked.



Here is a start on the hull damage:



Here is the mix I use for oil stains. Satin for older, glossy for newer, more or less black. The acrylics give more control I think. Turpentine based "oil stains" are good for some applications too, but require more effort:

Finally done with the model and some pictures. Learned a few things from this project. Thanks for looking, Dmitry

Well Done, Dimitry. Well Done

Very nice finish! A nice looking Panther II.

Thanks for sharing

Excellent work Dmitry, nice level of weathering and I like the contrast between the camo'd turret and the plain dunkel gelb hull.
Thanks for sharing and cant wait to see some more of your work.
