Thanks guys! I'm not good at "heavy" weathering at all. That said, there IS a fair bit more weathering on here than you can see in the pics - the old problem of what I'm seeing in person not being reflected fully in what my phone camera sees. Got to be a way to fix that. Your Panther looks amazing Marc. Really sharp camo painting. I also appreciate the light weathering on it. Gives it just the right touch to me. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch you build this. You have given me great insight into the process I will be taking to finish mine. Especially your approach to painting and assembling the tracks. Congrats on making the finish line and being a part of the GB. It has been a pleasure. Those tracks! If you can figure out a better way to do it than what I came up with, I'm all ears! Those are gnarly. |

What a masterful build in this scale Marc. From the details to the paint to the subtle weathering you've really built this one up well. I just hope that when I eventually do make it to my Panther build that it'll look this good.

LOL I forgot this was 1/48 and was impressed with the dots. Then when I realized just how tiny they are I was even more impressed! Not sure I could do it.

Glad I didn't attempt to airbrush. The height of the paint layers got sufficiently disguised with the subsequent clear coats. |

The Panther looks amazing. The other pieces of work are very, very nice as well.
