@brucca111 – Nicholas,

Nice work in progress you have going there, very clean build. I recently purchased the Panther D 3D printed detail set via Shapeways for a planned Dragon build I will be putting together in the future and was glad to see that the parts look to scale and functional. The parts as they originally come printed looked awfully small to me, it’s good to see that they are not.

Looking forward to seeing more of your vehicle as you progress along. Thanks for sharing and posting your work here.

Quick update. The panther has been painted, faded, and given a wash. Whats next you might ask? Chipping, streaking and some mud of course! Thanks for looking.

Nicholas

I just had to drop by and say what a magnificent job you did on your Panther here.

The wash really makes it pop as well as everything else!

Another beauty, Nicholas!! Using those informative captions highlighting the various details on your Mark V is a neat adaptation to a build log. Thanks for sharing!

@brucca111 – Nicholas,

Nice work!!! I especially like the weathering on the tracks, hung tracks and exhausts, looks very realistic.
