Hi all The latest build is off the block and into the cabinet temporarily un-based as i start on the next phase which is making a bombed out 1944 Argentan street-looking forward to that part! Tamiya's 1/48 Pather D (the panther in Argentan wasn't a D but its what i had so a bit of artistic licence!) with a lot of aftermarket chucked at it. Haulers photo etch set and fruli metal tracks- bit of a luxury in 1/48 scale and with the metal hull in the kit gives it some heft. I'm still surprised when i pick it up how much it weighs! First time using metal tracks but pleased with how they came out, got the brownish look i was after and i had a go at making my own zimmerit. I used milliput, rolled out really thin and then a metal file to stamp in the patter and then the back of a hobby knife to draw the lines. I struggled to get the milliput thin enough so it looks a bit spongy in places and my attempt to draw straight lines is laughable but hey ho! What else can i tell you, a few shell impacts on the front plate and a bit of plaster mixed with lifecolour dust acrylics for the thick dust on the wheels which turned out alright i think. More rubble and dust to be added once its ready to sit amongst the carnage. Thanks for looking

I got a tamiya Panther D for Christmas, I've been thinking of how to I was going to display it all? Then I had a thought that I would do a Market Garden esk diorama, then I remembered watching the band of brothers series and a scene from one of those episodes from Holland. A little poetic license with a change of Tiger for a Panther. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrR_XjaGT40&sns=em I was going to follow in Badders footsteps and do some casting, but then came across this building. The company are from Holland and they do some really good looking products, their Web site is down at the moment but sent them an E-mail and ordered this and a brick wall set. Can't wait to start.

So so here she is, I've built using the separate track links and also the grill set. Everything else is OOB, the reason for the straw on the front is due to the tank being used in a Band of Brothers esk diorama. So here she is.
