Hi guys well its been a while since i have posted anything ( mainly due to a certain 18 month old little boy ) but here is my latest build
I have depicted the Panther at the M.A.N. factory where they were converted to look like the M10 . The Panther is mainly OOB except for Fruil tracks , JB barrel and weld seams were the tool hanger brackets were
The dio base i have mainly user Verlinden products , the factory beams and crane rails were scratch built using evergreen styrene

Apologises for the photo quality (blame the operator not the camera )

so here are a few photos

Thanks for taking the time to have a look
Any comments , feedback is more than appreciated

Matt,

Let me be the first to say it looks fantastic! Lots of detail and nicely rendered. I love the "shop scenes".

Belated congratulations on the birth of your little AFV modeler.


Cheers,

Bill
 
Bill , James cheers guys and thanks for your kind words , much appreciated

I forgot to mention before that i was inspired to do a factory / workshop scene after reading Michael Schadewitz book " The Meuse first and then Antwerp " were it mentions the Panthers were taken out of service then converted at the MAN factory

Cheers Matt :)
 
Its seeing models like this, that honestly makes me wonder why I keep building, I just cant seem to get the concepts that allow building this this.

Absolutely gorgeous work.
