PANTHER G ZU-FUSS

[HERMAN BIX]

Herman,
It's very solid work. Emblematic of your usual top drawer stuff. ;o) The paint is really striking!

Painless

Cheers Mr Painless, overnight the sealer has completely settled and the paint is a lot better.
I've fitted the track links and rockets plus the gadgets on the rear plate so its got a lot more going on now.
Got main tracks, cables, NVG and the Aber hull MG still to do, then a bit of dust to calm it all down & blend it.

Exhausts, base of Tamiya kit D & C rust options, with hull red to tone down the orange.
Pretty happy with the look. Fairly recent burnt paint with a little scale...........

Herman,
You did a great job on those exhausts! This Panther is an amazing piece of work.
regards,
Painless

P.S. don't forget to blacken the inside of those exhaust stacks ;o)

[ALPHA]

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM...Why are the exhausts more rusty than the rest of the tank ............
Just kidding Herman...Nice Rust...Looks like they are just about to fall off

ALPHA

Right now they are out of character with the rest of the tank, but that will change soon.
Black has been done in the shrouds.
I also did a wash over the entire thing last night...............I had to get up to one of the little cherubs at 0120hrs & the place ponged to hell I can give you the drum
Got the track colour recipe on the running set & will fit them soon so I can get on with dusting etc.
Getting there, I only have a week and a bit to go before I go back to places unknown so got to make the most of it.
Mrs B and the kids have been very 'tolerant' to say the least. "Park ? why a park ?.......cant you watch a Wiggles movie ?"

[ALPHA]

Pictures please ....No Pong...Maybe of the tank at the park...you know...just the need to know stuff


ALPHA

[HERMAN BIX]

Provisional results so far, but Moto GP is on now so not to much more I can do.
Nothing yet blended in properly or dirtied-up.
Tracks are yet to be dry brushed with darker oils and solids to tone down the starkness, but once the dust etc goes on all should work out.
I figure this machine has had 3 months in service so will do my best to reflect that.

[ALPHA]

Better with all the gadgets Herman....makes the color look deeper .....what happened to the Park
