      First attempt at armour- 1/35 Panther

      All right i thought i would do something different so i chose this tamiya 1/35 panther ausf.A and i decided to have it in the 2nd SS pz. div. Theres still some touch ups i need to do and im gonna do a diorama but for now im happy with it. This was a great build and im thinking about doing an m-51 super sherman next.

      Thanks for the replies. Flounder, for my tracks i painted them in tamiya red brown then painted the teeth with an aluminium colour then once dried i gave them a wash with pro modeler dark dirt. After that i then put them on and made a powder from chalk pastels. I then used the powder like you would with mig pigments and finally rubbed the edges with a pencil to give the metal look.

      Excellent first crack at a bit of armour Dan, coupled with some nice weathering.

      Well done.

      That looks superb, I hope my first armour attempt looks somewhere near that good.
      Were the tracks the continuous rubberised type? (i have a Sherman yet to build with rubber tracks and no clue how to attack them)
