Hello everyone,

This is DML'S Panther-D w/zimm,It was an easy kit to build.Overall I was pretty happy with the outcome. I did have some issues,I'm not real good at the real small PE so I only used the screens and some stuff I could handle.Also I think Icould have lightened my colors,because the filters and washes darkened the colors somewhat.I also accidently installed the gun mantlet backwards.But otherwise I had a real good time doing this one.The much-maligned DS-Tracks were not bad for me,I prefer Friuls but who wants to add $40.00 to every job,but these painted and weathered and installed well enough for my liking.This was also my first real attempt at figures,they were ok to work on,I used Vallego paints and Mig pigments.The uniforms and equipment came out ok but the faces were tough.My hats off to you guys who paint facial expressions.But at any rate here it is,and any comments welcome.

Looks real sweet to me Ant i love the battle damage you've simulated to the side skirts and the paint job looks fab

Nice looking Kitty you've got there Anthony! It came out well, like your paint job and weathering as well. Thanks for sharing your work!

Cheers -

Looks really good. What figure did yuo use, the one sad down with the field cap. I'd love to know because I really like the way he is sat on your Panther, cheers Geraint

Thanks to all who have commented,nice to be noticed,much appreciated,Figures are DML Panzer Riders Lorraine-1944 in stock at greatmodels,but the commander came from the Actung Jabo set.

Thanks Alun and Anthony, Its nice to see a plastic figure fit the bill, resin figs are normally so much better, but sometimes a stock plastic figure just jumps out at you. Cheers Geraint

Hi, very cool - I think you did a great job!
