Hi All,

This is the reboxed French Kit of Panhard by DML, I use this kit to try some of the cloud pattern technic taught to me in person by Octopus here. Thanks Steve! I know I didn't build the kit accurate with my add on antenna at the left rear, and with the decal says it's a 1 SS LAH vehicle and all.... #:-)

You've been busy, Dave. Very nice. I really liked the weathering job you did on this kit. It looks great.

Thanks Mike, the picture is better than the real thing.

Looks great for such a quick job, Dave. Could you explain how you painted the wheels?

Dave,

That's no problem at all, we are just exchanging our modeling technique. Sometimes we didn't build accurate kits but for fun, so dun blame for inaccuracy. By the way, thanks for your Panhard.

Steve

Hi Nic,

Thanks for your comment. The Panhard was a nice break from all the AM infested kits....

The following is how I did the wheels.

1. After sanding and cleaning, I spray the whole wheel flat black, which includes the tire and the hub.

2. After the black color is dried, I spray a couple layer of German Gray at the center of hub free hand.

3. I mix Burnt Umber and some Orchard yellow chalk with thinner, and just brush it on the whole wheel

4. Once it's dried, I took a dry brush and brush the whole wheel a couple times to get the excess off.

5. Then I dry brush some gray color here and there.

Steve, Don't mention about the Panhard, just wanna you suffer as I do. #:-)
