Top class work John! I love it. And especially the bucket How did you do the snow effects on the ground?

Cheers

Paul

Thanks Paul,

Bicarbonate of soda or baking powder, i asked Patrick (dubster72) on how he did his snow. Just pva where you want it and sprinkle on baking powder but, i painted the ground white because i wanted it to look like no one has been down the street for a while.

my knowledge isn't that deep on the matter, but pretty sure i never saw a paint job/camo scheme like that, it's very unique and you pulled it off amazingly. it's definitely eye catching and i think the snow buildup on the tank is very realistic. great job.

Thanks bud, i do like the unusual and this one was perfect so i could have a go at snow for the first time.

No I don't....I've just spotted it's like that on the actual Panther photo.Don't you just love observation games?!

It's the bucket, it's on the tow cable so they have to take the cable off before they can use the bucket.

Shown me Dad and he pointed that out, i just said they was in a rush.

Sorry John but tell your dad he's wrong!

In late 1944 a certain Panther commander, Lt. Ilaver Grunhalle invented the quick release bucket handle. This was found to be neccessary because if caught short, members of his crew would not be able to use the bucket in time, causing very unsavoury conditions aboard the tank on the individual's return...

Me Dads problem was he never used a bucket, he used a spade and buried it. Yes, he was a tank driver, driving the Centurion (hence my name). Was having a conversation today about 'buckets', so i said the Centurion never had one and he just went up in the air. It was a nice place to be when i said the Cent was the "bucket", but he know's i was just having some fun

Loving this. Great snow effect. The footsteps to the side are a cracking detail, can't wait till i get good enough to attempt something like this.

Cheers Tony. I don't know about the bucket, i put the camo on and the next morning the tank was whitewash. The bucket was sat at the side of the tank with white paint in. But who ever did it have made a mistake, any of you spotted it yet?John

D'you think it might have been one of Ron's yetis?

Thanks for the nice comment Sunset. Give it a go, you never know. This was the first time i did snow, if it wasn't for Patrick (dubster72) i'd still be doing grass, mud or sand.

Have fun, John
