RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

very impressive!

yes, these details and details make the realistic impression together with the final patina, I had to start wearing vision glasses close to the model, but what, it's no longer a hobby but ...

Mike!
Thank you for looking in my Friend. Comments and Guidance are always welcomed and enjoyed but never expected. It is always good to hear from you. ;o) The frustration was worth it once the piece was mounted. It does add a lot to the bow of the vehicle!
with regards, always,
Painless

Herman,
I am following along on your latest Panther Build. Looks to be right up there, Sir!, in terms of the enjoyment to be had. ;o)

Painless

Mitch, Jee and LK88,
Thank you very much for looking in on the Build. Quite a bit of detail to be added yet. ;o)
with regards,
Painless

I feel compelled to chime in. Your build thread is so awesome both in photos and the written word that I feel like I’m reading a well illustrated modeling book and forget to post an occasional oooh and awww! You are definitely among the top tier of contributors here. I truly can hardly wait to see it all painted and completed (as if a tank is ever completed).

Evening, Jimster!
Thank you, my Friend. I got in a couple of hours worth of small detailing this evening. I added a little weld effect on the MG blister and on the tarp tiedowns around the edge of the casemate. Aber brass and some plastic left overs finished off the mounts on the Barrel Brace. Somewhere in my brass packs, I have another one of the tiny Bosch scripts to go on the front of the headlight. I'll find it soon. Stuff like this might not be noticed when the tank is examined at the end of the Build by the Forum but I'll know that these details are there. ;o)

PS: I started scribing the fenders to add some realism but Torro did such a good job with the mold that I am not sure that the effort is worth it...

I only had an hour free this afternoon so I put it to use as wisely as possible...

Oh I see what you did there!

A sumptuous build there Painless. I will have to do a big Tiger one day.

One day...
