Kursk Panther

Just to prove I haven't been slack I thought I'd show you the progress of the base so far. Unfortunately, I've hit a brick wall because I used a cheap paintbrush for the grass and I have run out. Now I just have to remember where I bought the brush from

Obviously, there is still a lot to do

Looks beautiful already! All you need now is a deck chair and a box with cold drinks

Great work Vincent!
The base already looks magnificent!

Thanks Philipp and Raoul, I appreciate your kind words.

I was lucky enough to find a couple of brushes at a local hardware store that was closing down. Now it's back to the bench to continue to plant grass.....oh.....maybe I'm not so lucky after all

The base looks great Vincent. Cant wait to see it all come together.

Thanks Shawn. The finish is still a way off yet

Ok, I've almost finished the base I think. I added dirt from the garden plus dirt from TREEMENDUS plus MIG and AMMO pigments and Abteilung oils. I've tried to keep the grass farther away from the "action" reasonably green while simulating a burnt grass area where the Panther is hit.
In this pic, you can see the area of scorching where the Panther burns.....I hope

Now it's back to the Panther for some more attention. I feel like I'm getting there now.

Well, you turned a very convincing piece of beach into a convincing piece of central Russian tundra

The scorched areas look excellent. I'm taking notes for my GB Flammhetzer
