This is a tamiya Panther pretty much out of box. It had been stored for a while before completion and the ring around the commanders cupola was damaged, so I replaced it with a flattened wire ring. The pics are with a digital camera and the model is a bit lighter in reality... The pics also look pretty flattened












This was my first model after at least 6 years #:-) and I tried a number of new techniques. I still have to add the tow cables, as those were also damaged I am scratchbuilding a couple from wire.

On Edit: I don't know why we can't see the pics...so the page is located here

On Edit 2: Uploaded the pics to the MSN site

There seems to be somthing wrong with your pictures
they are not visible (to me at least)

I really want to see the pics but I can`t

I can't seem to get it to work either. May I suggest using the Armorama MSN site to host the pics. From what I can see of the Panther from 3 SS Panzer Division "Totenkopf" (Deaths Head), I like. I must snub you for the lack of PE, sorry, I am a PE snob.
I like the ambush camo scheme and the subtle weathering effects although I would like to see more. Could you take some more detailed pictures?
Excellent,
Andrew

It worked!

Thanks for the advice I guess there was a problem linking to geocities #:-)

I'll try to take some more detailed pics pics and post them

From what I can tell from your pics it looks like you did a mighty fine job on it.

Very nice work. Did you use an airbrush or hand paint?

Chuck

Have some more pics with detail







There are a few more pics in the folder at

I hand brushed with acryllics. I have an airbrush but haven't used it much. I feel more in control with a brush... Guess I just need more practice.

Nice Panther, Sel. How did you do the ambush pattern? hand painted?

Yep. Painted the base on, then the basic camo pattern with sightly thinned acryllics, so it would look faded in aeras, then added the splotches. all by hand.

hey good job well done

Sel,

You have done a real dirty Panther and it looks like being used on the battle field for a long time. Nice cammo pattern with hand paint. Good job and keep up with it.

Just what I like to see.. someone else doing pretty much OOB work.. thanks for sharing.

I agree with Delbert, it's nice to see models done straight OOTB. As a beginner, I am building this way till I improve my skills. Models like this one give me something to aim for.


Well done. The paint job looks good to me. :-)
