Second up a Panther or (maybe) two

[Marklo]

Paper masks drawn and scaled 

 

Applied

 

And painted.

 

Reveal after I walk the dogs…

[Marklo]

Not too bad.

 

Wracking my brain as to how to do the spots ( I’m going for the Daimler Benz ambush scheme btw, round dots rather than circle cutouts) then remembered I had just these on Monday ( in fairness I ordered them two weeks ago so that’s where I forgot) then perfect tool. 
 

Next up I’m going to fit the road wheels and tracks. I may be missing some of the wheel hubs so might have to make a few resin copies ☹️damn you carpet monster, doubly ironic as I don’t have carpets…

 

[Marklo]

Road wheels and tracks fitted.

 

Schurzen masked and painted 

 

And fitted.

 

Here’s where we are at the end of the day. The Vanilla panther needs its spots and the Ersatz M10 needs some modulation. Then detail painting and markings on both. And we’re ready for some distressing.

Everything looks to be progressing well Mark

Yes I’m pleased with the builds so far.

Masking on the Etsatz M10

After a bit of touching up.

Seeing the two together shows how far they went to disguise the shape.

Great work, Mark, both the Panther and the "M10" are looking excellent!

 

Cheers, 

Mark

ersatz m10 masked for lowlights and highlights

 

And we have a lesser spotted Panther

Very pleased with the result.

 

So the plan, modulation on the M10, decals on the Panther, a little detail painting and then a bit of light distressing. Both would have been reasonably clean so lived in not decrepid 😄.

 

 

[Col.]

Nice progress on these two again

[Marklo]

Tactical numbers in the Panther.

 

The Ersarz M10 had been modulated 

 

Just need to paint the mgs and then they’re both factory finished and ready for weathering.
