Hi all! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Wow some nice builds you guys are working on.

Congrats Nathan on finishing yours it looks great!


As far as my own build goes I've been sick for the past week so very little has been done. Here is what I managed track hangers and fenders.





I am feeling better now, and just in time to because plans changed and we're spending a few days with family so I wouldnt be able to get back to building until the weekend.

Working with PE has been a little different than I thought it would be somehow. But I think I'm slowly getting more used to it.

I hope everyone is enjoying what ever holiday you celebrate!

I was pretty gung ho for this one and got off to a good start way back there in the tiny numbered pages, but have lost my mojo, got busy, and all the other usual excuses..

Oh well, i'll have something (else) for the next Getter-done campaign..

Good job to all the completers
Mike

My Panther G is done!

Some more picts:

And finally the business end of the panther

This was a great campaign and i really enjoyed the build. everybody did some great work! Look forward to getting started on the King Tiger campaign. I hope everybody had a great christmas and some fun builds in the new year. Next year I'm planning to do a posted build of two Panther II models using the drawings in Panzer Tracts. One with the prototype 75mm turret never completed and the other with a 88mm Schmalturn.

Irvin Kohler

Plain superb Irwin!!
Congrats on a great build.

Great Campaign coming to an end,lots of great builds went on here.congrats everyone.

update pic from a few days ago, got the zim on there, need to do some puttying etc, friuls done, wheels done.

Irvin; great finished Panther you have there with a very well applied camouflage scheme.

Remco; keep up the great work.

Well with work and dealing with my newborn, my time was used up rather fast for this build. So, between diapers and work was able to finish a few Panthers all 1/72 scale from Hasagawa. Not happy with the tracks.....

Anthony

Thanks! I'm ready to move on to the King
Tiger.

hi guy hope you all had a good festive period.

i had started and nearly finished a jagdpanther but have misplaced one of the front sprockets. so yesterday started to build a italeri panther. i was never really keen on the kit so never built but though hey. so have nearly finished construction and will post some pic in shortly should get it done in time as i have some time of work.

there are some nice builds going on when i have a Little more time will take a look trough

small update did some puttying etc and stuck some tracks on there, next up tools etc





edit: btw didn't use the radiators as they where quite warped and didnt use the round dragon ausf a grilles as they looked way to big on this one

started on the equipment, these clamps are gonna drive me insane
photo is a bit fuzzy but the huge dark yellow blob is a bottle of vallejo green ochre, that'll give you some idea of the scale, will get some better pics when i get my camera back

Finished the base coat on the Panther G.

Cheers Rob.

Finally done


I'll post more photo's soon

Hi Darren,

It's all gone pear-shaped for me! Or should I say "straight"...? My hand-crafted track hangers around the turret decided to uncurl - possibly a reaction to the solvent in the primer. I sprayed GW Chaos Black as a primer, followed by Tamiya brown, then a "red oxide" mix before shooting light grey thinly so some red would show through. Worked a treat on the hull, but when I came to the red oxide on the turret I noticed the uncurled hangers! (I did leave it sitting for over a month...) I've boiled up a new set using a jig to hopefully get them uniform, but assuming I fit 'em today I'm still about a week away from completion! Can I ask a favour?...




Tom

PS: I know, I shouldn't have let it sit til the last minute!

Hi Everybody,
I have done.I hope you like it.I miss some item like tow cables,chains.
Sorry for my pictures














I tried to build this Panther in a picture below:

cheers
Antonio

Chris that looks a very nice build and I like the way the tracks hang.

Antonio very nice work as it can be very hard to get a good finish on a single colour model.

Tom what about using a warm drill bit on the ones attached to provide uniformity.

Thanks Darren,
It wasn't been easy espacially to apply wash and filter on the zimmerit.
cheers
Antonio

Really nice Antonio!

Cheers Rob.

Hadn't thought of that! A bit too late, as I've already done the surgery... Still, if these ones uncurl, I'll be heating a drill.

Paint & pics hopefully tomorrow!

Tom

My first airbrushed camouflage!

A couple of mistakes on the other side, too much overspray but not too bad.

Cheers Rob.
