Hey guys I'm really slack at posting here and I apologise because I love the place but here's some pics of the old tamiya panther kit I've just finished:







The whole build can be seen here:

What a wondeful panther. The Alpine fig is great too. I particularly like the scarf

[deafpanzer]

Holy cow! You turned an old Tamiya kit into a museum piece build! That Alpine figure looks very familiar. Love those figures from Alpine.

Hope to see your build here again.

Dunno nuttin' about you leaving and coming back. But I do know that is 1 Hotel Sierra Panther. I wish I had some extra road wheels. I like that look and wanted to do that to mine.

And someone that can build like that can't go through life with Karma.

WOW, That looks awesome John. Love the turret and all the eye candy, especially the paper Armor Farm box.

Thanks for the lovely comments guys! I'll be sure to post my next build here (can't promise it will be armour though lol)!

Ohh sweet mama.

[wing_nut]

From the looks of that you should be building nothing else.

Love the finished and the rusting, John really thought your always on Sci-Fi stuff

Fantastic work there John!! Love not knowing what I like best about a build!!!

Lol cheers Todd!

Yep, no lack of Panther love here... Tremendous job! I really love the unique paint job. Like everyone else said, wonderful work with that old Tammy kit. I built one ~30 years ago... and would be embarrassing to put next to that! (I think that one ended up shattered by a .308 round @ 250 yds...)

Lol thanks mate!

Well, then, you must quit slacking so as not to deny us looking at pretty stuff.

Stupendous job on a real moldy oldy kit!

Regards,

Being a simple creature with limited vocabulary, I will just say

Wow, what a simply stunning looking build, truly a delight for my sore old eyes to see Tamiya's venerable Panther get a good going over.

Stupendous.

Thank you mate, all the weathering including the streaking was made with AK Interactive Products.
