Welcome to the forums!

The Panther looks wonderfull - just the right amount of weathering too. I like the little bits of chipped paint on the edges of the turret and corners of the plates. Makes for a very realistic looking build!

Any more pictures to post?

Wow, a beauty. I agree superb weathering with just enough chipped paint effects to be credible and realistic.

If you are asking for suggestions I would only say try some decal techniques. You can see the edges quite clearly which is a shame as they then look like decals as opposed to a painted on ensignia.

Have a play with Micro-Sol and Micro-Set and experiment with some Johnsons Kleer floor polish. Do a search on here we have talked about these things quite a few times. If you get that right the decals will really look painted on and enhance the overall effect tremendously.

that's a great piece of work.

How did you achieve the chipped paint on the edges of the turret? I would like to try something similar.

many thanks

Phill

That is one Surperb Tank there. The weathering on that is just great. I love how you got the paint chipped. What did you use?. When i have done paint chipping in the past i have used copydex. Is that what you used?
