Panther Ausf. G and Grenadiers 1945
« on: November 14, 2015, 01:03:29 am »
Hello everybody,

this is my first contribution here.

I am working on a late war urban diorama, (perhaps Berlin 45) by using this Rubicon Panther and a destroyed T34/85 (same brand) as center pieces, along with buildings and lots of Warlord Games plastic figs. I love those comiclike faces and the multipose character. More pics will follow.

I tried to give the Panhter a very used and battleworn look of a vehicle in heavy fights. I think I will do some additional weathering to fit in the vehicle in the landscape. 













Best regards from Bavaria

Thomas

Thanks for sharing this - your painting is excellent.  You've really captured the look of a tank that's survived several encounters.  The figures are well painted too.  One point - you need to remove your mould lines, as they undermine the appearance of your kit.  Especially on the tracks.

You are right. After the washings the mould lines become cleary visible.
