"Steel Cat" GB entry
Posted by wing_nut on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 11:32 PM

Just put the final bits and bobs on a Tamiya 1/48 Panther G for the "Steel Cats' GB, a hugely informative build run by Herr Tigerman.  I built this specifically to try out laser cut paper zim I picked up at AMPS East.  Even if you don't normally frequent the GB section you should check out the incredible builds that are going on over there.

Wonderful build Marc and you really cranked it out. Thanks for the tutorial on the paper zimmerit. Definitely  an option for even larger tanks.

Thanks to Tamiya though it seems to be making a comeback.

Wonderful looking build Marc.  Like the color you used and the zim does look nice.  Will have to go check out the Steel Cat GB to get the explanation of "paper zim".  Have no knowledge of that but like how it looks.
