                        Looks great, the slab is simple and realistic at the same time for a nice effect.

                        djmodels-

                        the blackened flash guard on the end of the muzzle ( end og gun tube) is correct. the heat from the blast of the gun would singe the paint in that area, and the powder from the shot would spray out the muzzle and sides, and blacken it as well.

                        crockett-

                        awesome build man! u r goin ta add decals and stuff right. the panther looks fantastic now neways though. keep it up!!!Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]

                        Thats true ABARNE if one really looks at old pix of german armor , zimm is just a skim on the surface of the tank , It hardly ever appears to be very thick .

                        When I first saw it ( I started with pic 3 ) I could have sworn it was a real Panther , on display somewhere ,that concrete base is very convincing , what did you use to make it ? The Panther is of course fantastic too , nice job Crockett!Cool [8D]

                        Nice work Crockett, I had an earlier post of one of my first panthers, and got some really positive suggestions on how to improve its overall look. one thing I really like about your build is the slack in your tracks. that is one area of my build that I need to correct. appreciate the pics, they show me what I need to do to improve my panther. semper fi, mike
