DML Panther A

Thanks guys!

This baby is finished!! (Unless you can see something I've missed)

Some foliage was added, using ABER set D-04 and Verlinden Productions set 2532, with some branches made from copper wire.


Here is the finished article:












Thanks for looking. Hmm, what's next?

Cheers

Very nice, the different shades of rust is very convincing and the branches really look the part

Great work, as Dean said, rust is very convincing.

Momcha

Perfect Panther, you did a great job

Thanks Guys!!!

Just awesome work, John! Great balanced weathering for my eye..

Maybe some dio? =)

Best regards,
Andrey.

Hi John, as per the Facebook comments I am so impressed with and inspired by this model. It's a very modern and professional finish and I'm so glad to have seen it - it's a great reference for a Panther I'm going to have a bash at. The AK products look like a blast to use, especially that mud set.

I also appreciated the comments from yourself, Mike and Mig on the zim colors. Like Mike said, it is quite confusing to us "new to armor" modelers. He mentions aircraft guys but what about us hippy artistes who make everything up - no idea!!

Cheers,

Linc

Well for me the best part of the Panther is of course the rusty plates. The tones of the rust and dimension looks great, very well done. The lower hull weathering is fantastic too. Overall it gets two thumbs up from me.

Andrey, Linc, Rob, thanks heaps guys!! Sorry but I'm not up to doing a dio for it. I'm ready for something different, like....a rusty russian tank!

Great job on your Panther John ...I love the weathering

Rick

A Russian rusty....now your talking

Rob

That's a blasted NICE job on the Panther!
Very excellent balance of hues & effect throughout
Top Job!

That is very inspirational, I have this kit as my next model so I'm following this very closely.

Thanks heaps, guys!
