Every time I look this up, I smile at the continued level of detail that you pour into this piece of art. Theres on thing to appreciate a nicely molded model kit; another to add every kind of after-market supplier's item; but then there is the research and fantastic scratch built details you continue to add to this build that will always set this build far above what one would normally see.

Thanks for sharing your build with us all so we can enjoy your vision too.

Thanks for your kind words.

The truth is that I have had to thoroughly document myself through photos on the internet from other modelers, real photos of the Panther and the book on Panther A from The Research Squad.

All this coupled with great patience and very little time for the hobby results in that I have been with her for more than a year and a half. But I hope the result is worth it as a € 230 mockup deserves no less. For me it is a lot of money for a model and this leads me to try to build something different.

Again, thank you very much!!

I have mounted the running gear:

I have added die cast texture to the idlers and drive wheels as well as some cast IDs.

Post by **digger303** » Tue Sep 21, 2021 10:57 am

Great work with some very crisp paint

Ps.....not sure that I would have mounted anything and told anyone.....

Unless it was Charlize Theron

My apologies Jose, just picked up on this incredible build. I love it, especially the size.
You really merit top awards and accolades for this.

If there was a modelling version of Great British Bakeoff you would be Star Builder every week and probably outright winner. The detail and time spent on this is mind-blowingly excellent!!

Hi everyone.

I have painted the inside of the hull with Cavalry Brown from Vallejo. Then I masked to paint with Cremeweis from Ammo Mig. The masking job was very complicated.

Greetings and I hope you liked it!

Post by **Stokesy44** » Thu Sep 30, 2021 5:07 pm

That looks like beautiful work.

Post by **BigWall** » Fri Oct 01, 2021 1:14 am

Nice job with the masking! That had to be a lot of work.

Building this kit is the same as building it to scale 1! Marvelous work, i cant wait to see the next steps!

Hello again colleagues and friends.

I hope you had a good Christmas and I wish you a very good New Year 2022.

I have not posted here in a long time and I would like to show you some progress with my Panther.

First two shots at opposite angles of the finished transmission:

And the opposite angle:

Some pipes remain to be painted for now.

Now let's move on to building the engine:

Closer:

Some details:

Engine finished.

I have added the exhaust extensions.

Fantastic work on the transmission. That engine looks great too

Post by **ForeverPlasticKits** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 9:44 pm

such huge level of details, my brain melted!

Post by **BigWall** » Fri Dec 31, 2021 1:45 am

I was just thinking about your build today for some reason. The transmission is magnificent! Nice start on the engine.

Post by **digger303** » Fri Dec 31, 2021 2:36 am

Magnificent engine build.

So when are you going to start showing your model and not the real thing? Your details in assembly, added details, paint, and weathering are fantastic. You have great skills and vision my friend.

Hello fellow modellers, how are you? I hope it's ok!!

Here I am to present the finished and painted engine.

I have used the chipping technique for the first time with the Mig Jimenez chipping product.

Hope you like.

Hello everyone. I have some new work to share.

I have placed and fixed the motor in its final location. The fit has been somewhat complicated but I am happy with the final result:

Regards and until next time!!

Beautiful work. Is it possible to show it once the kit is finished?

Yes, I am not going to glue the two halves of the hull together.

Thanks for comment!!
