Hi Gents,

Just finished another rebuild of an old wargaming model, an Esci Panther (I think?). I'm currently tarting up my old collection to sell so I can buy some of the newer/better stuff available now.

cheers

Looks good brent, what paints did u use for the camo? I visited napier on my hols to NZ back in 2004, loved the place.

Hi John,

Thnx for the comments - yeah Napiers not a bad spot!
On the colours - its all brushed, havent got the nerve to buy an airbrush yet. Base is Humbrol yellow 83, camo and shading is GW acrylics, a real mix of colours and trickiness lol. If you want more detail message me, otherwise have a good one!

cheers

The old gal is all done up for a night on the town. The kit looks very nice, I hope I can do as well I've started building some 1/72nd as a break from 1/35th. I have got to learn to tone down the weathering to go with the reduced scale. I hope I can learn from your example.

Tom

Hi Tom - and I thought my weathering was a bit heavy. Its a wargaming model and I tend to go a fraction heavier and contrasty with them so they stand out on the table vrs a display model. ............

Your cat looks great.

Awesome!

This has inspired me to get back to building my kits.

Nice one Brent

Reminder to self must finish my Panthers.

Seriously good job on that, whats next?

Ciao

Now I know where to send all my 1/72 armor to be painted!

I swear it looks like a much larger scale kit! Great job!


Jeff

Looks really good. How did you paint it with brush? How did you highlight the edges? (Funny, but there's a definate difference between wargaming vehicles and "shelf-destined" model kits in painting style. Your panther merges both in a very nice way.) I wish my 1/72 kits looked like this. (I keep telling myself it's only 1/72...)
