Baby panther with flak

Posted by Bodge on Saturday, June 16, 2012 6:04 PM

Hi guys just thought i would show you what i have been up to lately now i have the *** back.

It started as the leopard tank but i did away with the turret and added a flak43 and i have added a rear shield for the crew and this is done to reprecent steel plate as is the plate welded on where the turret was. I have painted this in the new transformation set from Valejo and painted the flak in the Modulation set from AK.still loads to do but i am enjoying the prosses so i am not hurrying this. I still have loads to do like ammo racks on the back of the rear shield and a lot of added touches.

Nice work, rear shield and turret plate very convincing, thought they were really metal!

I agree, superb metal work painting. It does look like real, rusted steel plate.

Bodge: Some sweet work there on those metal plates! Great project...looking forward to seeing it progress. Is that stretched sprue for the weld beads or ???
