That is absolutely fantastic the level of details is great...

Greg, Thanks mate.

That is beautiful work mate. I know its a bind to paint tools and stowage in situ but I feel it is easier then doing it the other way round. I am looking to put a decal on my fire extinguisher on the Panther showing the instructions. I cant find any anywhere. Did your kit supply you with fire extinguisher decals??

Steve,
Thanks mate. Sometimes I paint it before I think it depends on how accessible it is. Sorry I don't have any decals for the fire extinguishers.

What's this Scottie...everything but the fire extiguisher decals, this will not do :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy: Brilliant work by I mean the blings...the rest is just easy peezy for you. As Allen says you wear that extra tank of patience. In situ or off it's still a pain to paint storage.

Looking forward to the wet stuff.

Cheers,
Richard

Or just print it out at the right size on regular paper, then cut out and glue to the kit part.

Paul. The etch work and high end details you are doing are bringing this build alive. Great work

Richard, My humble apologies for failing on the decals. But your right about the stowage.

Jakko my printer is not that good so would loose any details.

Not much done today. But I have replaced the width indicators with brass tube and wire I think they look a little better not sure how long they will survive for when fitted.


I started on the basic construction of the turret as well, I will post some pictures later.

Thanks for looking
Scottie

Nice idea to use metal tubing. Another nice addition. Keep it comin mate

Thanks Steve, just hope its strong enough so I don't knock it off.

The turret is now done the smoke dischargers were very fiddley I made a few mistakes as the instructions are none to clever so you will notice it's a mixture of etch, kit parts and scratch. I decided to show one bank empty and the other loaded.

This will all dry now for a few days till the next stage.





Thanks for looking

Scottie

Nice bit of scratchy/etchy work there Scottie. You must be getting close to smearing on some wet stuff. Cheers, Rick H.

I like that a lot Paul. Very nice indeed. You must be very pleased how the detailing has gone on this build. Its been a joy to see it all come together

 

[Guest]

More fine work that man.

Steve, Thanks mate I am reasonable happy there are places where I could nave done it better but every build is a learning experience.

More fine work that man.

Peter, Thanks mate.

Couldn't resist fitting the turret and wheels just to see how it looked. I have managed to turn the stub axles a little just to give the wheels a touch of turn for interest. The wheels are resin and nicely detailed, they are just blue tacked on at the moment so look a bit wonky.






Normally I don't prime my builds but given the amount of brass on this I thought it prudent so gave it a coat of mr surfacer 1500.



cheers Scottie
