Hello everyone, my first outing in 1/72. A Panther G. The kit from Vespid in 1/72 is great, even if it has some inconsistencies here and there. Painted with AK paints, aged with all kinds of stuff, I don't know anymore...... The figures are from Scale 75, great casting, paint almost by itself. Here the Vallejo program was used. The base and the other stuff comes from my stock. All together fits on 10 x10 cm surface. The excursion to 1/72 was a lot of fun and it will not be the last. Vespid just announced a Leopard 2 A7+, it already has my name on it. And a Takom Leo in 1/72 will also find its way to me.

Great work especially at 1:72! I have a hard enough time building in 1:35, can't imagine everything being half that size. I'm loving the presentation!

Very well done. 1:72 is for the ambitious masochist.

I’m glad I came back to this Roland. At work I can’t see these picks but I sure as hell can see them here at home. There’s a ton of details packed into this small scale build! Where does a guy start in commenting on this. Masterful work on display here!!!!

That’s a gorgeous build and wonderful presentation! The airbrushing is first rate, and the amount of weathering on so small a scale is truly inspiring… as mentioned, I too have hard enough time at 1/35, that I can imagine barely building at it, let alone achieving the paint and weathering you’ve mastered.
Those figures are awesome! I’m trying to elevate to passable at this point, lol… what’s your method for faces? …as in, base to finish steps,

This is difficult to explain. To explain painting faces online. Smaller, less shading, but more exaggeration. Do not paint areas, but small dots.
@ all, Thank you very much.

Incredible work in a small scale. Those are some of the best figures Ive seen painted in 1/72nd.
