Battered Bergepanther With Large Chips And Salt Please.

[Mark1]

Looking good.

[JR]

Have to say Dan that the model looks the dogs, worn parts look just right and in the places you would expect. Top notch build.

[CarolsHusband]

Thank you both !

I'm enjoying it, learning as I go and have definitely got favourite areas that I'll try replicate in the future

Dan,

Just had a catch-up. That's coming on very nicely indeed.

Well done.

More great weathering here Dan. You are building this up nicely.

[CarolsHusband]

Thanks chaps

[GerryW]

Certainly well battered and a decent portion of chips!

[Jim R]

Hi Dan
I agree with the others - very realistic weathering. You're right in that 'less is more' with chipping. Yours is spot on - in the right places and nicely in scale. Winch and blade are superb.

Aww, shucks.
Thank you.

Nice progress shots Dan. Looks like your having a lot of fun. Keep up the great work

[CarolsHusband]

Thanks Steve, definitely enjoying it.

Your biting the bullet in resurrecting the build has inspired me to drag my Bergpanthers out from retirement - once I get two sets of metal tracks and a surfeit of mojo I'll crack on with them. The end results are good for both Meng and Takom tracks but why do they have to be so brain-numbingly complex! Going well so far.

I may have to go the metal track route when I get the Takom kit. I can feel myself getting sucked into this modelling lark. Still, it's cheaper than golf. ( I would imagine......)
I'm going to have a go at finishing this one though. I'll have to bodge structurally enhance the mounting for the rear idlers but even if it lives on as a background piece in a diorama I'll be happy enough

Dan,
That weathering is spot on, and looks so realistic. Once you get a matt varnish over all it will looke even better if that is possible. Well done.

Praise indeed, thank you Mike.
