1 87 Trident Panther

[Lee W]

Evening, here's my first attempt at something this small-scale.
It's from Trident range, built straight from the box, other than adding handles .
Base is a wooden furniture thing?! Covered with Atelier moulding paste, painted dark earth, weathered with Tamiya weathering master, washed with black wash and raw umber, dry brushed with tan earth, the log at the front is a battered tooth pick (unused!), grasses came from somewhere?!
@minitnkr Paul I did my best to cover the tracks with "mud".
Nice little kit other than the tracks being unmoulded guff!

Nice

 

[Tim Marlow]

Lovely stuff.

Look'in good. All in all nice work. Hauler makes brass PE tracks for Panther that help some, but your mud came out great.

 

[Lee W]

Nice

Thank you.

Thanks Tim

Thanks Paul, I'm going to bash out 1 35 Tamiyas Panther G, I may have a go at the PE tracks... I may just cover them in mud again?! Haha

Excellent Job on this Lee.....I hope you will continue building in this scale.......that camo came out just right for the size, not over done. Tip 'O the Hat to you Sir!

Rick don't get excited, it's only 2

 

[Mini Me]

Two's better than none.....and then there's the outside chance you might end up hooked on 'em!

 

[Allen Dewire]

Well Lee, if the other two turn out as good as this one did, you might just keep going with them. A really fine little Kitty and the camo is excellent too!!! Just wondering why you didn't coat her in Zimmerit though...........I'll get my coat...

Prost

That's funny Allen and yes, I have done a Zimmeritt job on a Trident Panther with Tamiya putty!

That's brilliant. Very, very well done indeed

Hard to fathom it's only 1/87.
