Your Panther looks GREAT! Congratulations!
But allow me a little advice for your next winter diorama - the trees have too bright green leaves. Tree species with very garish leaves have no leaves at all in winter. Or maybe it is simply that the white of the snow makes everything else look darker.
Have a happy 2016, Lan

Thanks for your advices. I'm working on Tiger - late production from Dragon with figures and diorama. Any advice or idea will be great helps.

I think it looks really good!
If I were to nit pick, I'd say too much rust streaking on the turret roof and I'd personally like to see more variation in the coloring of the spare tracks. But really, that is minor stuff. You did a good job.
As far as the base, lentorpe is right that most trees would not have their leaves at winter. If they did have any leaves left there would not be many and they would be brown and dried up.

Thanks for sharing, and welcome to Armorama. Nice wearthering work on the Panther. Maybe its my eyes, but I find the turret numbers too clean compared to the overall scheme. Cheers.

Spectacular build and paint! If I were to add anything, I agree with the prior poster that the numbers on the turret could probably use some additional weathering to better match the rest of the tank. Besides that, utterly incredible!

Bao,
Great weathering and streaking! What products did you use to achieve those effects?
Best,
Bill

WOW! What a beautiful Panther! Wow again! Not over weathered, and not really brand new looking either. You did well Sir!
My only complaint (and it's not really a complaint) is that just about every tank in combat gets beat up pretty quickly. Fenders get bent and scraped up. A nick here and a scrape there are the norm.
I'd be proud of your build if I were you! And welcome aboard.

Very nice paint work! The Panther is missing its engine screens, though. These were always fitted in the field. Most Dragon kits include photo etch screens, but if this one didn't, Tamiya, Aber, Eduard, and all the various aftermarket PE makers offer them.

Weathering and filters look really good. I would add though, a tank with that much wear would undoubtedly have dented shurtzen and fenders, rear stow boxes etc. I'm sure in a diorama you want as much realism as possible, so I would revisit the finishing and look for items such as the bow gunners vision block being painted over etc.
You have to match the degree of weathering with maneuver and or battle damage:
I'm pretty sure the DML kits come with PE rear deck screens ? I was wondering why you're presentation doesn't have them?

Bao, awesome job on your Panther. It looks and feels like a real winter AFV, in fact I feel like I'm dirty just looking at it. I think you captured it nicely.

Stunning build on the panther the winter finish and weathering is superb..
On the excellent Tiger, you want if possible to sink the tank into the ground a little, it is sitting over the ground and not in it, something that weight would compress the ground it is on a bit..

Bao,Tiger and figures look great.With what you are showing so far, a Normandy diorama comes to mind. I think you could make a normandy dio easily with what you have presented so far. Do you have any other accessories to go with it?? Perhaps you could make a Normandy Farm scene without much trouble if you have some Farm accessories. Maybe a partial barn structure or some farm equiptment??? There were an endless amount of farms that were fought over in the Normandy countryside.What unit markings are on your Tiger??? If I knew which unit it is, I can possibly offer you a historical example of a particular battle to tie it all together. Keep up the great work Bao, it is coming along nicely
