Bowcat's Panzer, Panther & Tiger

[Mr Bowcat]

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.

Cheers Moni. :smiling3:

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.

Cheers guys.

Pete, I've got to get a move on, the starter kit GB starts on Monday. :dizzy:

Nice little set of tanks there.

[Mr Bowcat]

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

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers guys.

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:

[Mr Bowcat]

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.

[Guest]

Hi Bob all coming together very nicely, the casting look really clean and crisp.

Looking good Bob, like the first photo one post back, the one with the mottled look esp.:thumb2:
John.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers gents.

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.

[Mr Bowcat]

Got the camo down on the Panther this evening.
