Panther Ausf.....Whatever?

[JohnSimmons]

Hey guys,
Well I know some of you know but the reason I've been lacking in the model posting lately is because
I've had a little boy! He's fantastic and me and mum are very happy.
I built this Panther Ausf A (Tamy 1/35) before little one arrived and I've managed an hour today to get it primed. I just wanted a cheap old kit that I can pick up when I have a minute and slap some some paint on it ;D This is going to be a Panther from my mind, I don't want to get bogged down with historical correctness, I'm just ganna shake my parts bin over it and see what lands!


I'll try and keep updates flowing but the time I'll get on this will just be spent on modelling rather than photography lol

Congrats there Daddy!! Glad to hear your all well. I like that attitude, "Just gonna shake my parts bin over it and see what lands!" Every now and then we all need to stop counting rivets and just build for the fun of it. And we all know how hectic life can get, especially with a new crew member on board so it's nice to see you can still sqeeze in a bit of benchtime.

Cheers mate, I'm all up for people doing builds right and getting details perfect (I myself often get hung up on details) but sometimes you just have to forget all that and get your creative juices flowing!

Congratulations on your newest arrival, and your new son! That is great. (Seriously).

Thanks Wouter!

So I managed to get out to the shed while my boy and his mum where with the family and visitors (they didnt miss me lol) and spent an hour giving the turret some red primer ;D First off I pre shaded the lot.

Then onto the primer:


Also gave the barrel a spray with German Grey and highlights with medium grey.
The idea I'm going for is that this is just a mish mash of parts to get it back on the battle field quick. The body will be Dunkelgelb with camo patterns and a White Wash over it ;D
Hope you like it

Thanks again guys, I might even have another update before the weekends over

Looking good John, I like the idea of a repaired tank with the oxide primer.

Dunkelgelb ? I,m sure it's German for something...lol

First of all congrats o the birth of your son. And also great progress on the Panther. I like panthers and your ideas sound really good. Would love to see it with it's paintcoats on. Will look awesome with all the parts in a different color. The primerred already looks the part.
