Ok, ok ... I guess it's working now...









And the finished beast ...







I might add to the thousand word pictures, it was a great build, the Dragon's Panther F is an amazing kit, full of extras, PE, different options, paint schemes, detailing..
If you like Panthers and great kits get on of these !

Delbert

Thanks Jose !!! Thanks Delbert !!!

Great camo on that Hummel !!!

I have some progress with this beauty.

Tom, just a great camo paint scheme. Would be hard in 1/35, yet you pulled it off in 1/72 scale.

Joel

@ Tom great job on that little 1/72 Hummel the camo reminds me of DNA Strands
@ John see I knew you could get that Panther finished looks great
@ Burak nice looking kit for 1/72 scale hope you can finish
@ Charlie, nothing like starting a little late have you made any progress

Ok Guys crunch time who is still working on there projects will anyone need an extension

I think I am ready to call this done.
I'll get some better pics for the gallery.

Cheers Rob.

Here's mine. It's Dragon's 5cm Pak 38 w/Fallschirmjager crew. It was a late entry and the pictures were taken over about a two week period.



Not a difficult kit. I think it's basically the only show in town if you want a 5cm Pak. A shame given how much they were used. It was a pretty straightforward build. The only real deviation I took was in leaving the wheels off until a little later in the build. Of note, my kit's gunshield pieces were warped and took some work to get put together right. And I was not a real big fan of the kit supplied crew.

Carriage.


Main Gun Assembly.


Coming together.


Basically done.


Now onto the crew. The crew is a mixed bag of figures from another Dragon anti-tank gun. One of which seems like the odd man. They also lack enough equipment for a reasonable kit for each. I ended up leaving the kit off of them all. I also left out the "odd man out" crew figure I mentioned above. The supplied gunne rdidn't fit his position so I had him and the supplied commander switch positions.




Now for the base. I kept it simple to try to remain within the parameters of the campaign. The base is construced of sheet styrofoam. The groundwork is Celluclay. The mound is based atop styrofoam scraps covered with Celluclay. A coat of white paint. A few washes to try to bring out the depth and try to depth.





I thought it was a little too plain so I went back and added some tree stumps. These were made from pieces of branches.



I'm calling this one done. It wasn't a bad little build. I'll probably take the pak38 and use it with another project. I didn't like the crew but I might rework them at some point to work with another kit.

Rob, nicely done. Looking forward to a few more photos of your Hummel

Joel

John - You showed those magic tracks who's the boss! If the paint on my Panther F comes out half as nice as yours I'll be happy.

Tom - Amazing paint job on that Hummel, especially considering the scale!

Rob - The Nashorn looks great, I like the understated weathering.

Alex - A kit w figures and a base in two weeks! I wish I was that fast.

Sal - I'll make the deadline, I just finished my washes on my Ferd. Some dry brushing, a clear coat and maybe a filter if there is time and I will be done.

Nate

Thanks Nathan. The credit really goes to Dragon though...they put out a pretty straightforward kit. Lot's of great work in this campaign.

@Sal & Nathan

Thanks guys !!
you were terrific on giving me that extra push forward !
I was very close to leave this on sit on the bench for sometime... I'm proud to have finish this one !

I might take a pics of my 3 finished Panthers all in 2012... it's a Panther year !

Thanks again !!!

Wow Alex that was a quick build there looks good

@Rob - The Nashorn looks great, I also like the understated weathering, would like to see some more photos of that one dont forget to post in the gallery

Irvin, I love the PzKw IV. I have that kit in the stash. How did it go together? Any issues;things to look out for?

Thanks Guy,

Everything when together perfect except the tracks. Its a pain to fit them with out the satisfaction of a good looking set of tracks.

Last weekend of the campaign,congrats to everyone,lots of great work happened here.

Next up for me in December,Big Cats

Outstanding campaign and great work by each and every one of you (AS ALWAYS!!!) Enjoyed conversing with everybody and seeing some great Dragon productions roll off the assembly line. Unfortunately my math did not work out for this campaign because I completed one T-34 for it but bought two more in the process. Never-ending cycle!!!!!!!!!!


Best wishes, Ian


RAM ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
