Subtle and sweet Dan. I always seem to go overboard with my weathering. Yours looks just right Brotha

Nice start on the weathering Dan,looking good.

[wbill76]

Nice progress on both cats guys! The 'ambush' pattern definitely would put a strain on your eyes Stuart, hope you recover quickly, well worth the effort with the end result for sure.

[losboz]

Excellent work guys, keep it comin

Thanks for the comments chaps i found some time at the bench today and weathered in the wheels and added some water marks and oil/grease marks to the hull still need to add a few bits here and there to do and to keep adding layers to get maximum effect nearly finished the end is near

















Still trying to match the ref pic





Thanks for looking in and sorry for the amount of pics

Dan the kitty is really shaping up.Great weathering effects.

[beast]

Brilliant work Dan! Keep it going buddy!

[losboz]

Awesome Dan

Nice weatherage

Just noticed from your direct comparison pics that the actual kitty is missing its glass from the Bosch light. Or are my eyes playing tricks

[danb.]

Thanks for the comments chaps

Loz the Bosch light has a slit cover over the glass as found on many German AFV s thanks for studying my photos as many eyes are better then 1

didn't notice that detail at all, but indeed, the Panther on the photo misses the slit cover.

Btw, that's some seriously cool weathering and painting there...love what you did with the runnin gear and lower hull. Darn, and you do it so quick

Cheers

Green and brown took around 4 hours Gary and the spots were another couple on top of that. Thanks for your kind words my man!

[beast]

As Dan says guys, thanks for the comments and encouragement!

[wbill76]

Very nice work matching it up with the photo Dan. Definitely going to be an eye-catcher when you're all done with it.

[imatanker]

And you were worried about the paintjob?

[bullardino]

OMG, I keep watchin both Panthers and I can't stop. Two true masterpieces...

Stu, that dotted ambush camo is perfect. It makes me think that the general who decided to use it had to be a sadistic basterd

Dan, the more you work on it, the more is difficult to tell it from the original pic. What a fantastic weathering job.

[beast]

Ok gentlemen, almost there with this Panther. Just the exhausts to do and some dust and small details and that'll be it. Here's where i'm at now,






Once again chaps, thanks for looking!

[imatanker]

Stu, top shelf My friend.

[Leon]

Stu the Panther looks fantastic,two thumbs up Sir.

[merseajohn/]

Wow your both doing such an awesome job! Can't wait to see that at the show Dan.

[wbill76]

Looking good with the markings on Stuart, almost across the finish line with this bad boy.
