It's been a while since i've done any braille kit,but i have a lot of good apologies.
Because i needed an easy to built kit i choose this Zvezda kit,much cheaper like Dragon Panther[7 euro in my country vs 20 euro for Dragon].and,in my humble opinion, much correct.
After 2 afternoons,finally is finished:







Nothing special,just fun with a enjoyable build...

@madmax5510 – Dani,

‘Homie wa’ you talking b’out, that ain’t nothing special, why it be looking mighty terriff’ic to me! Won’t be able to do any modeling for a while due to spiffing up our new place and seeing a build like this just gets the blood flowing, I need a plastic fix and soon. Now you’ve gone and done it, you’re going to have to share your magicology (is that a word?) for creating that true to scale camouflage finish! And what did you use for the screens on the rear deck? What the f&#% that's not the Dragon kit! Homie . . .

Dani, it’s good to see your work here again on the Braille forum. Super job on the build, I do however have one suggestion and that is to allow your background (blue colored sheet) to flow from front to back without a crease. Place the model near the front edge of the sheet (like you did on the fourth photograph), keeping your subject as far away from bend as possible and get in low with the camera to shoot the picture. Make sure you’re camera and hands are not in front of your lighting casting unwanted shadows. Try and place a lamp on one side of your subject and one lamp facing the background, this will help eliminate harsh unwanted shadows in the background and foreground. Taking a picture at a low angle with the camera will give the viewer a sense of actually standing near a real vehicle. (Hint; you should not be able to see the hulls deck or turret roof in the photograph).

Outstanding, Dani! Exceptional paint job and build.
PS: Ma bucur sa vad si alti romani pe forum.
Cheers!

Nice one Dani.



- hangs head in shame... mine has been dragging on for weeks!
It is a nice kit, and so is your paint job.

@madmax55109

Glad to see you dropping back in, Dani! The Panther looks fabulous. As others have said, the painting is terrific and your skills have improved BIG time over the years. I'm glad you're on the other side of the ocean so that I don't have to worry about competing against you! You wanted an easy kit and I guess this speaks volumes about the Zvezda Panther as opposed to the recent Dragon one (it was a real pain to build).

@Braille - Hola Homes,

Need'n a plastic fix? Know'n what the man say, all work'n no play! For a quick fix, get yourself one of them 1/144 MiniHobbyModels modern MBT's. Not bad detail'n an a real quick build.

@firstcircle - Matthew,




Ahhhh, but you've had to deal with adding those aftermarket parts and doing an SBS so it's not an OOTB build. Plus, you have to keep up your reputation for keeping your adoring public in suspense waiting for your next episode's release.

Cheers,
Jan

Well I kind of committed to doing it since it's the site's review sample. Otherwise I might have given up by now...! There's a few threads like that I have lurking around.

Many thanks to all!

@Eddy-nothing magic ,just dry-brush on camo,and...i missed to build a kit in braillescale.The screens on the rear deck, is made by me ,from remaining screens by a Jagdpanzer IV "Zwischenlosung" ,in 1/35 scale...and many thanks for the photo tips.
@Sebastian-ma bucur si eu,mare-multumesc de aprecieri.
@Jan-I do not like to go into competition with anyone,like i said,after so many large builds[1/35],i want something easy,whithout too much work...i'm a too lazy guy.
@Matthew-don't compare your,or Jan build,with my humble strictly OTB[except the screens on rear deck] build.And,like many says ,in my country,i am a fast kit builder ,i build a 1/35 Dragon kit in 4-5 days[when i like what i do].
Cheers,
Dani
