Dragon Jadgpanther #701 FINISHED

[wbill76]

Chipping looks good Dan, not too much but enough to show wear that will look the part under the weathering layers we know are to come. Don't forget to "polish" the inner wheel rims where the guide horns would wear the paint away really quickly (only mention it as you seem to have done some "chipping" on one of them). Looking forward to the next round!

[wouter]

Nice repaint mate, and the chipping looks great as well!

Bill's got a point there indeed, something which is often forgotten on Panther builds, you can see it clearly here:



Keep up the good work bro!

Cheers

Thanks for the comments chaps yes i have all the outer wear to do on the roadwheels the whole thing needs some clear then i can start the weathering. Thanks for pointing that out to me much appreciated.

Really nice work Dan I think the camouflage on the Jagdpanzer is particularly effective. As for the barricade it looks spot on for a poor German city cursed with clausewitz ow about having the Jagdpanzer coming through the barricade

Nice camo, the JP is one of the german tanks I like most.

[danb.]

2 chaps arrived in the post today so i assembled them with blu tack and placed them on the Jadcat i really like how they look so these will be used now instead of the others i previously was going to use also i used Vallejo german brown for some deeper chips next up a clear coat ready for some pin washes.

[multicam]

[spud]

Dan Those figs are fantastic. who makes them?

[danb.]

Have not got a clue Spud i bought them from evil bay from a seller in hong kong £1.99 each cant believe how detailed they are for the money you should get some mate.

thanks Dicky im going as fast as i can!!!lol

Thanks to everyone else for the positive comments today i got a few washes done and starting the streaks and dust.

Dan B

[spud]

Doh........

[detailfreak]

Anything with Jaeger oops Jagd for a prefix catches my eye.

[danb.]

Hey all here is a small update i gave the cat an enamel wash using black and dark brown thinned with enamel thinners this laid in the weld seam and panel joins nicely so no pin wash at this stage i used a ivory and brown enamel thinned then using a stiff brush flick small specks of paint over different areas to replicate finer chips this also made the paint look older and dirty this was then needed to dry overnight then a coat of clear then the streaking could start i used AK streaking grime rust streaks then Nato rainmarks once these were dry i heavily thinned the streaking grime and washed areas i thought needed a bit of blending here are the results i think it is matching my 1st reference pic well now shes getting dirty!!!! please comment on areas in which i could improve on.

Nice layering effect so far with the weathering stages Dan, this ought to fit in perfectly with your gritty city barricade scene!

[danb.]

Thanks chaps for the positive comments she looks a lot better with the matt coat on just in the process of bare metal chips to hatches then dust and dirt time.

Dan B

[danb.]

Right lads another small update i have made a start on rustifying the AA armour and achurzen its taken a quite a few processes using acrylics enamels and oils and a spot of chipping they will recieve a few washes, and some oil stains.









Dan B

[spud]

[406 Silverado]

She's looking good Dan. With the wheels, tracks and earth effects on she'll be purr fect

[multicam]

A pretty kitty with red lip stick and a skirt that hardly covers everything...how could you not like looking at that? Looks good Dan.

[wbill76]

Nice progress Dan, added plates give it some character!

[bullardino]

Nice progress Dan

[TRM]

Playing some catch up here Dan!!! Looking sweet there!!!

[wouter]

Hiya Dan, lovely piece of weathering again mate. As a matter of personal taste: I'm still not 100% convinced of the pinkish tone on the red areas...but on the other hand, it looks quite original. And weathering made a lot better to my eyes. Lookin' forward to where this is heading chap

Cheers
