Bergepanther Aust A Meng Completed

[tcoat]

For those that don't venture into the Group Build section this is one I did for the 2023 build. It is eventually to be part of a diorama but that won't be for a bit.

My trials and tribulations are all documented here: Bergepanther build thread

Thanks for looking.

Photo dump warning! There are a pile of pics here so be patient if takes a bit to load! My poor old work computer would chock to death on this.

From top to bottom you absolutely killed this! The added small details and weathering on top of the paint work you did look amazing

[Green KreationZ]

That turned out astonishing! I like all the small details you have added. The longer I look at it, the more details I find. Great job!

[roland66]

I really like it. All the details, the wood, the carabiner, wonderful.

I could look at these all days. All the little details, the cabling, chains and the woodwork. All beautifully done. Perfectly weathered as well. Masterful work.

Excellent! I love the dusty worn look that you have pulled off here! Looks quite realistically field worn.

I initially had it way too dusty and the camo all but disappeared. Gave the whole thing a light overspray with straight Tamiya lacquer thinner and that knocked it way down. Then just a bunch of random sweeps with a wet brush took care of the rest of the excess while adding streaks and runs.  The pictures show I still have something to fix since the stowed machinegun should not be that dusty. Think a quick bruh with some semi gloss will fix it. One of my favourite effects was the accidental miss of spraying dullcote on part of the inside of the engine compart mat hatch. Didn't even notice until took the pics but it looks like some oil or fuel sprayed and was wiped off so I left it alone.

Well now, that is one incredible example of quality modelling. Well done!!

LOL Just walked past my shelf where this will eventually go and realized that I have sort of a theme going.
