    And just like that the turret parts have arrived.even a little bag of fun bits. Can also see how the hull has been repainted.And is ready for the tracks to go back on.

    I thought I had updated this model more recently. Will have to try get some more photos of it. Calling it finished now with the weathering and even tried making some shell hits and damage. Unfortunately the weathering looks more like rust than mud with this lighting but still looks pretty interesting.

    And my last post for this is a 1/35 scale model of the tank. I picked this up at Tank Fest at bovington tank museum a year or two ago. This is the same version that I hope to convert the panther to And with the wonders of 3D printing and a handy free to use model kit I found online for a panzer 4 verient of this tank I got the parts for the turret printed by a friend.

    This last set shows how it was after masking off anything needing it and covering the electrics and motors. Ready for some painting.

    These were taken after I had stripped the turret of any useful parts and painted it red to see how the paint takes to the models plastic and how it would look. Can also see most of the side details have been removed for painting too. Oh and the running gear/tracks

    I wasn't planning on documenting the progress of this tank so I don't have many photos. But what I do have here is a handful showing the condition it was in after taking a dive off a washing machine 😂. And when I picked it up.

    Got an interesting one here. I got a old Heng Long Panther tank with a busted turret about a month ago. Gun mechanism jammed and broken,mantlet cracked and split and afew other issues. My plans are to repaint and mount a custom turret to it resembling a theoretical but never actually built panther variant.

    It's been a while since I updated this. I have been to Bovington tank museum afew times since then as well both for Tiger Day and Tank Fest. Both great shows and a great chance for a good look around at armour and get plenty references for weathering and such. Here's a update on the model tho. Added some small details with painting the clips and fixings on the stowage boxes. Back has all been painted and glued together. Upper and lower hull have been glued together as well. 6 of 8 engine hatches have been glued on in the open position. The turret can just clear the ones on the left side so glad I can make that work. And some other small details here and there

    Little update. Been to Tank Fest a little bit ago. Was a good time plenty of running and static armour to look at. Got some cool photos for referencing weathering too. Will have to find a place to drop all those for other to use as well. But here's my bit of progress. Most of the turrets major components painted and staring on the back of the hull.

    Would love to see some in progress photos of that weathering. I never understand how it looks so real 😅 amazing work.

    It has been a while since I put an update out. Both sets of tracks are now on and all glued in place. I found the lugs for the sprocket wheels to be a bit to small and short so had to bend them out a bit at the ends to stop the wheels from falling off while the glue was drying. Weathering is all on now for the tracks and lower hull. Looks good I think 😅 The tracks themselves need some dirtying up but I'll get round to that sooner or later. also started painting the parts for the addon armour and turret
  13. Daniel_Roxy
    Not too good at blending. But it's definitely looking pretty good. Loving the detail on the engine. Painted the rocker covers with a more olive drab look. Think it really makes the engine just look that extra bit
  14. Daniel_Roxy
    Abit more work. Got some nice things for weathering. And put the engine together. Still got the exhausts air intake pipe. And some other bits to put on. But it's coming together. Just had a little go dry fitting the engine and transmission and it's starting to look pretty good.
  15. Daniel_Roxy
    Been working on little bits over the week. Got most of the engine parts painted in a dase colour. Will post photos later But I have painted the fuel tanks in a patchy sort of way and then detailed and weathered them with some washes. Definitely getting better with that sort of thing
  16. Daniel_Roxy
    All of the suspension arms have now been fixed in, Road, Sprocket and return rollers painted and some weathering added, tracks have also been cut from sprues,cleaned up and primed + painted. It took some time to get most of the simpler parts stuck together. And then everything has now been primed
