Panther Ausf G

[Vincent Power]

Ok, I've had a lot of fun today. Lots more layers applied which I hope you can see in the pics. I've also added some chips and started on the wheels. I think it's coming together nicely.

Looks great Vincent

[Vincent Power]

Thanks Bryan and Adam. Sorry for the slow reply.

I've been busy adding more weathering to the Panther. Mud is important for what I have in mind so I needed to add some.
I used a mixture of vallejo mud, pigments and various oils. I also gave it some splatter effects.

Next task to put the mud on the roadwheels.

Great looking Panther Vincent. The mud and weather looks great.

I hate when I get to this part of my builds. I'm always afraid I'm going to over do it or screw something up.

Thanks Shawn. I'm glad you like it.

Well, it started out perfect and got even better then

Thank you Philipp, for the kind words.

I've reached the finishing stage of the Panther now that the tracks are on. I started preparing a muddy concoction to smear over them before I realised I didn't have a base. So the gooey stuff is on hold.
This is what the finished Panther looks like at the moment.
