    Hi guys,

    Knocked the Panzer together tonight in around 2.5 hours. I like that about these kits, I can see them being a nice break during a long build of another kit.

        I have to say, I'm enjoying these a lot more than the egg plane. Dare I say I'm starting to "get" toons.
        Hi Bob now you "get Toon" there's no looking back, welcome to the dark side :tears-of-joy:.
        Great work on the Panzer IV your not hanging round on these.
        Pete.

              Hi guys,

              Started painting the Panzer today. I'm going to paint each toon with a different technique, this one is getting black basing.

              On an unrelated subject, I tried my hand at mould making and resin casting for the first time. I'm quite happy with how it came out.

                  Bob, lots of good work coming along here, just one question, which tank is wearing the propeller :tongue-out2:.

                  cheers

                    Ross, the prop is going in the barrel of the Tiger, it was a new anti-personnel round the Germans were testing. :tears-of-joy:

                      Evening all.

                      Started the painting, the Panzers had its thinned top coat and been glossed. The Panther has had its dunkengelb base coat and is drying in preparation for the next colour (it's going to be Tri camo).

                      The plan is to get them all to the gloss stage, then get all the decals applied in one session.

                            John, that was the Panzer before the final thin coat. The mottling is to give some variation to the grey. It doesn't come across in those photos too much because of the gloss but should look better when the matt goes on.
