Kursk Panther

Looking good Vincent, as you said, I'm sure the photos only tell half the story!

Thanks Adam. I'd like to take better pics to do the finish justice but alas my skills with a camera are only so so.

Hi Vincent

The turret looks superb

"" trying some new stuff this time""?

New products or new techniques?

Whatever it is, it looks great

Please tell

Steve H

Thanks Steve. I'm trying a new technique. Sort of taking the mapping idea another step further but it is super time consuming so I'm not convinced it's worth pursuing yet. We'll see.

Cheers,
Vincent

As always some great work on a burnt out vehicle. It looks so realistic.

Thanks Shawn. I'm trying some new stuff this time. Nice to see you dropping in. How's things going?

Things are going good just so busy with work, school and family. Unfortunately, in that order.

What the others have said

I'm in really no position to nitpick anything here, but I had a thought concerning the smaller fittings like the spare track holders...wouldn't these, made from thin sheet metal, have burned hotter than the thick armour plates and therefore be more rusted? But on the other hand, the hull itself would be a huge heat sink....Any Physics PhDs here?

Thanks guys.

First round of oils done on the hull. Still a lot more to do.

For a change of pace I thought I'd do the wheels. Not really much of a change I guess given I 've rusted them too

Thanks Shawn. I'm happy with it so far.

Wheels finished, thank goodness. Now I can get a move on. I'm thinking I should start the base as well so I can attach the Panther to it before doing the finishing work. I'm tired of knocking off the small PE bits
