Congratulations on a triumph. Sit back, smile, and enjoy the results of a lot of work and skill, Bix. What a prize piece! Did you keep a record of the cost?

Cheers Mr Wolf, yes indeed while the mind screams damnation, it really does clean up as stated.PainlessWolf wrote:Herman!
I looked at the photos of the initial Magic Grime application and yes, my first thought was "OhNo! He has ruined that beautiful paint job!" Good to see that the product cleans up as advertised and leaves a cool looking weathering job in it's wake. That's one excellent Panther that you have there!
regards,
Painless
It will actually clean up even more, after a week of being applied if I want too.
A few little details to complete then its done

Thank you Herr Dr................all I can do at the moment is sit .........ankle being what it is & all.
As for a cost record, I normally dont bother, one does what one can within his means to get the outcome & there is a cost to that.
But, as I can estimate on this one looking back (all prices in $AUD);
- Atak Zim kit $45
- Voyager P/E $55
- H/L V6.1s electronics $111
- Taigen Metal roadwheels $60
- Taigen metal drive & idlers $20
- Taigen steel gearbox's $ 55
- Taigen closed pin winter tracks(imported) $150
- Tank V6 base model $300
- Blood , sweat & tears = priceless !
All up thats about 3 bucks for you jokers with actual currency

While it is far from some of the models here worthy of a place in the Louvre, its a reasonable representation of what 111 might have looked like on the morning before it was knocked out I think.
By the way, knitting is way harder than it looks

Mr Newboy must be quietly pissing himself with the reactions to first application of his grime product "they all do that every first time they use it, whats to worry about-Me & the grime have got this" !!
Well Mr Newboy, despite the u-tube videos its still a shock to the system when it goes on for the first time & you've had loads of practice

Herman! That is just a magnificent achievement!
What a superb Panther and representation of the 111. As I am, literally, getting ready to start my own Panther build I now have a first-class benchmark to help guide my own effort. There are other excellent Panthers here, of course, but your historical approach and truly skilful execution have given me ideas of my own already. I doubt I can match your work but it will be fun trying, and I might just be looking for some Pantheresque illumination in the future too!!
