Hi everyone :)

Here is a Step by step of my progress so far:

Step 1

I have been building this over the past two days, I've added a few extra bits from an old Dragon kit, but apart from that, I have tried to stick exclusively to the Tamiya kit.

Step 2

Next up comes a base coat of primer grey from AK...

Step 3

The base colour was achieved using the AK Dunkelgelb modulation set

Step 4

The turret was masked with Blu-Tak and painted using AK Green

Cheers Dan ;)

Hi everyone :)

I made some more progress with this one today....

Step 5

I started to work on the basic chipping and oil filters, the chips were created using the lightest shade in the AK modulation set, this was applied using a W&N size 00 brush.

I then began working on the basic colours using a small selection of oil colours. These were thinned down and applied in washes.

Great job the look of it is really good the camo on the turret is also very good ;D it appears you are making a cheap tamyia panther into a true Panther tank ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for your feedback everyone :) Thank you to Chris and Robbo :)

A little more progress today, more oil washes and the start of some dust filters :)

Step 6

Oil filters of buff have been applied as a dusty base layer. This was followed by AK dust enamel, which was applied using the specking technique to give the surface of the tank more detail :) I have been working in small layers, waiting for each layer to dry thoroughly before moving onto the next.

I also mixed some burnt umber into the dust mix to add some variation to different areas, this was thinned down with artists oils and applied as a wash.

More to follow :D

Step 7

I have made a start on the positive chipping, this is applied using a W&N Size 000 brush.
