PANTHER PAD"ALL DONE"

[MrT]

I have been getting ready to go to Eaglefest later this week and one of the things I have been working on is a base for "Patched Up Panther" that I completed last summer. I picked up an all resin base from Verlinden called "Break Through". It has lots of little details in the rubble that needs to be painted and weathered. I started by painting the whole thing flat brown. Then with the airbrush I picked out the other details like bricks and rocks using red brown, rust, and several shades of gray. The fine detail item where brush painted. I gave the whole thing a wash of dark brown. After the wash dried I have dry brushed lighter shades of red brown. Here is what it looks like right now. I hope to have is done before Wednsday in time to make the trip to Dallas.

Even with all the competition, there are useful things Verlinden still produces and a great modeler can accent. I know you'll do well at EagleFest. Do you plan to see Brett Green or is this not the Squadron Mail Order/MMD event? Forgive my ignorance about shows. I can't be expected to be good at everything!

Looks really cool Terry. That's a lot of detail painting for one little base.

Well that remains to be seen. Lots of really great modelers are going to be there.

Thanks!

[MrT]

Thanks Tony!!

I think I'm done with the base. This is really the first time I have used a resin base of any kind. I usually make my own so this was a different project for me. I hope it adds something to the model setting on it. Here are the finished pictures.
