Thanks Wojtek, freakin great ...

 

[Wurger]

You are welcome. Do you need anything else?

 

[lesofprimus]

At this stage, no.... Ive already sprayed the tracks with rust, so first layer is done...

 

[Wurger]

So all things are going well. Anyway,I'm heading bed because it is one o'clock at night here in Poland and I'm a little tired.For me it was quite busy day today.I can't wait other pics of your Panther.

great close up shots

 

[lesofprimus]

OK, here are some progress shots....

Painted the tracks rust and then went over them dry brush with tan/beige... Put the spare track links on, and put mud/dirt/dust on the track wheels....

Still alot more to do....

 

[Wurger]

Very good Dan.!!!!
But have you begun the weathering making with the black colour to intensify panel lines?

 

[lesofprimus]

I actually have already done most of my panel line washing.... I didnt go too heavy... I didnt do it yet on my wheels or spare tracks yet tho....

 

[Wurger]

Ah not too heavy.... Now I undersand why these lines are almost unvisible.OK.
Continue.....working on.

 

[lesofprimus]

The wash I used was a bit to heavily diluted I think, as I wanted it aqlittle more dark... I will re-apply it after I do some more work and Dull cote it...

 

[Wurger]

Either do it now or don't do it at all.

 

[lesofprimus]

Oh ok... So all of my washing is done before dull cote???

Here is my better late than never wheel wash....
