This is really well done again. The paint job is magnificent. My son has found bark to be an effective element for Warhammer terrain - rocks, lava, etc.

Hi All,

Started a new WW2 dio and I'm using the older Panther Ausf A from Tamiya and it is kit #35065, even thou this is an older Panther kit it is still a great kit to build.

I finally lost my air brush virginity LOL as I use to hand paint all the details on my kits and after using my mates air brush to do the larger camo pattern I'm so going to get myself one and the dots were hand painted on.

I still have a few things to add to the tank and do a little more weathering and it will be done.
The figure's are from Master Box and is kit #35160 and as you can see two are going to refuel and the others are just chin wagging.

Hi All,

Panther Ausf A - Refuelling

Tank/Figures - The Panther Ausf A is from Tamiya and it is kit #35065, even thou this is an older Panther kit it is still a great kit to build. The figure's are from Master Box and is kit #35160 and as you can see two are going to refuel and the others are just chin wagging.

Base - is thick foam board and the mud was done using a mix of spakfilla/sand/dirt with a little water and then I added Vallejo's Chocolate Brown and once the lot was mixed I applied it to the base and tank.

Once the mix was dry I then gave it a wash of Vallejo Chocolate Brown and Matt Black and once the wash dried I used Woodland Scenics Realistic Water with some Vallejo Beige Brown and applied it to the base to give the mud the wet look and puddles and the foliage is a mix of Army Painter grass tufts and Woodland Scenics fine leaf foliage.

Ron

Been a long time since I ever tried anything muddy and it sure didn’t compare to this. Nice kit, that panther. I don’t have one that new even.
The figures turned out great. Love the wisps of smoke.
   That realistic water looks fun also.
Many modelers make the mistake of carrying an aspect of weathering too far but this extreme condition is represented wonderfully here. Just right on muddy transfer to tank from driving and crew.
    Ive claimed that Ron cant sleep because he doesn’t have time, with all the creations he cranks out.
   It’s more realistic to think that if my stuff looked this good, I would be too excited to sleep. That’s got to be how it is for Ron?
  Congrats on your airbrush. I love mine but find I have to stay in practice with it or I turn rusty. It certainly does things you can’t do with a brush. I find that the atomizing action makes Vallejo Matt varnish dry flatter than ever. 2-3 times flatter than with a brush and with a thinner layer to boot.

Most impressive once again, Master hemble! These tanks needed a lot of fuel...very interesting setting and excellent realization!
You put a lot of work into all these dots on the tank! And your attention to detail is most remarkable!

Thanks for sharing this Panther with us!
