Ahh, looking good Gabor 👍

Gábor Bélik
Thanks Rui.
I will paint it today
31 May 2015, 06:54
Hunter Cummins
Awesome paint job Gabor!!!!
Where is your famous color modulation ?????
31 May 2015, 16:18
George Bacon
Definitely want to watch this one! Great job 👍👍👍
31 May 2015, 16:52
Gábor Bélik
Thanks guys.
Hunter.
I was thinking of pre-shading but it wouldn't turned out well because of the thick layer of paint I used. I will have to solve this with oils.
31 May 2015, 17:53
Gábor Bélik
And I was afraid that the masking will take off all those PE
31 May 2015, 17:54
Christian Meyerhoff
Looks excellent so far! Very well done!
31 May 2015, 18:48
Gábor Bélik
Ok. I can't help it. Hunter planted a bug in my ear and that bug said :do it. So I did modulate. 😄
1 June 2015, 16:42
Rui S
hehe, nice bug there, Gábor well done mate 😄
1 June 2015, 16:46
Hunter Cummins
Yaay I changed your mind lol
It looks a whole lot better now lol makes the finish more interesting 🙂
3 June 2015, 23:06
Gábor Bélik
Indeed. I was thinking about it because it will be worn down heavily and that requires modulation IMHO. 🙂

Jeffrey Riedesel
Oh that is nice!
4 June 2015, 07:27
Hunter Cummins
I do agree !!!!!

Hunter Cummins
It also helped to mak e the dunkelgelb not so bright and stark and also helped tie it all togeather
5 June 2015, 11:26
Gábor Bélik
Agreed. I didn't liked the base colour much anyway. 🙂 the green was too pale the rotbraun was too orange.
5 June 2015, 16:43
Hunter Cummins
Now that you mention the it.it did lol

Awesome Scratch and chipping effects. How did you do the scratches??

Lol choppa

Gábor Bélik
Thanks guys. 😄
It is hairspray tech followed by sponge tech.
9 June 2015, 03:25
Choppa Nutta
with a fair dollup of Skill Tech ! 😄

Hi Gabor, this is a really inspiring build! Interesting how you proceed and what you attach before painting (Tools etc.).
It looks awesome!😄
9 June 2015, 07:09
Gábor Bélik
Thanks Holger.
Yeah I'm a 'paint the tools on' type of guy 😄
9 June 2015, 11:26
Rui S
Yes Gabor , it saves time and paint hehe 😄
9 June 2015, 11:51
Holger Kranich
With my last AVF´s i tend to attach all, too! As Rui said, it working out for me!
9 June 2015, 13:02
Holger Kranich
Btw, the battle damage on the front turret plate corner looks awesome!
9 June 2015, 13:03
Gábor Bélik
I tried both ways but it was too messy for me to glue the painted tools. I slide a pice of paper under the tools when I'm painting it. The damage is a simple very hot welding tool. 🙂
9 June 2015, 14:57
Rui S
Thx for sharing, Gabor 👍
9 June 2015, 14:59
Choppa Nutta
again. it's movie quality ! 🙂
9 June 2015, 15:00
Rui S
yap, Model Art 🙂
9 June 2015, 15:02
Holger Kranich
I learned it the hard way, too. I always messed up the painted tools with glue and had to repaint it. So i decided to paint all after glueing.
9 June 2015, 15:03
Holger Kranich
And the idea with the welding tool, i´ll keep that in mind because the result ist stunning!
9 June 2015, 15:03
Holger Kranich
One more question, please Gabor: Did the hairspray still work under two or three layers of paint? How many layers of hairspray have you applyed?
9 June 2015, 15:05
Gábor Bélik
I used AK's heavy chipping fluid. Applied it in 3-4 coat and let it dry until it's not shiny. Check out my E-75 in my albums I have used double layer chipping on that one and you can see hows the effect looks like. After priming I painted the chipping colour than a few layers of heavy chipping fluid after that I painted the 'primer' colour after that a few layers of scratches effevt fluid and finally the camo.
9 June 2015, 16:43
Holger Kranich
These steps make definately sense! Thats the way i´d do it too... Lets see it on my next AFV😢
9 June 2015, 17:23
Gábor Bélik
Added some wash, filter and the first layer of rust...
13 June 2015, 17:54
Rui S
Looking great Gábor 👍
13 June 2015, 18:00
Hunter Cummins
Looks great to me 🙂
13 June 2015, 18:16
M.Julian Marles
looks like a nice kitty! 🙂
13 June 2015, 21:05
Rui S
My my. impressive upgrade 🙂
14 June 2015, 01:36
Kerry COX
Your too good to play here any more, you are making us look like novices. LOL 🙂
Excellent Rui, and may I make a suggestion on the projectile hit marks you have excellently done, how about scratching gouge marks that radiate away from where the explosive round has hit, like the shrapnel marks, and I will dig up a reference photo for you to emphasise what I mean.
This tank build really looks like a tank, or does that sound stupid. But I think you know what I mean mate. 🙂
14 June 2015, 02:09
Rui S
"Explosive round" Kezza?? that is an armoured piercing impact is it not?😎
14 June 2015, 03:15
Kerry COX
I don't know what you are trying to represent there, wether its an AP or not, It was just a suggestion. :-/
14 June 2015, 03:31
Colin Phillips
Very nice Gabor, love the weathering
14 June 2015, 03:35
Rui S
@ Kezza, You are right it's a good suggestion, I'm just trying to advocate devil's if you want... Wether its an AP or not, great work Gabor 👍
14 June 2015, 03:46
Kerry COX
Ohhhh, You little devil you !!! 🙂 All is good mate. 🙂
14 June 2015, 04:56
Holger Kranich
Now please something different: What the phucking hell means "Kezza"?!
BTW Gooooooood morning!😢
14 June 2015, 05:48
Gábor Bélik
Tahnks everyone.
@ Kerry Like Rui said. AP rounds 🙂
14 June 2015, 06:29
Kerry COX
Kezza is my name, Kerry, I was always called Kez all my life, just like you are called "Holley" or holz, and Phucking good morning to you too Holger. 🙂 🙂
14 June 2015, 09:42
Holger Kranich
Ah, its your nickname!That explaines it all!😄
And no one evEr called me "Holz" ROFLLOL 🙂😄😢
14 June 2015, 10:37
Kerry COX
Well, now you have been called "Holz", but the only time I guess. 🙂
I don't know why it is done, to give people 'nick' names, but I never disliked my nick name, and at least I knew who they were referring to. 🙂
14 June 2015, 11:32
Aghis Barberopoulos
Great weathering, beautiful work done!
14 June 2015, 15:22

Holz !!! ...who goes there ? !! 😄 .......sorry....

Actually Holz makes me think of Holiday which makes me think of Billie, as in Billie Holiday.
I think there is a good argument to be made for Holly's new nick name to be Billie....
Seems perfectly logical to me😉
14 June 2015, 15:51
Christian Meyerhoff
This is one of the the best cats I`ve seen so far! Excellent finish in any way!
And BTW ... Holger remains Holger because "Holz" is only a piece of wood. 🙂
14 June 2015, 19:15
Gábor Bélik
Thanks guys.
Working on the wheels and accessories right now...
15 June 2015, 03:21
Gábor Bélik
Fine tuned the pigments and glued the wheels
20 June 2015, 15:39
Christian Meyerhoff
Excellent in any way ! What a nice finish !
20 June 2015, 17:33
Rui S
Hey Gabor, some mates say that the sides in inner wheels should be metallic finished. In mine I didn't do it, but there are photo evidence that some times it happened, just a thought.😉. great work so far 👍
20 June 2015, 18:27
Gábor Bélik
Thanks guys.
@Rui: you mean the inner inner wheel? 🙂 Those will be covered by the tracks anyway so I don't bother much with it but I I'll keep that in Mind. 🙂
20 June 2015, 19:03
Hunter Cummins
Beautiful finish Gabor!! A master peice
20 June 2015, 21:17
Choppa Nutta
awesome finish !
20 June 2015, 21:27
Kerry COX
Who ever the scrap metal dealer you are buying from is, don't loose his number. It looks fab mate. 🙂 👍.
20 June 2015, 22:34
Rui S
Hi Gábor, I'm talking about the middle ones that are in contact with the track inner "teeth" ??? sorry don't know the right word for it. But I will post a picture of it. 🙂
21 June 2015, 02:10
Gábor Bélik
Thanks again everyone. 🙂
@Rui: I know what you mean! How could I miss that!? Well this was the first Panther I have built so I will correct that.
@Kerry: I'm back to do what I really like. Scrap metal 🙂
21 June 2015, 07:11
Kerry COX
Yes, you MUST pay attention to the hardest working and most used aspect of any tracked vehicle, and that would have to be the tracks, as so many modellers seem to overlook that fact. 🙂
21 June 2015, 09:51
Rui S
Hi Gabor, did you saw the photo I posted in my album? I must say, that there are also many photo evidence of tanks where the shine in the middle wheels isn't visible, so it's as you wish mate🙂, It was just a hint to do something different because lots of modeller's (just as me in my 1st Panther) don't dare or notice that in time, to do it. 😉
21 June 2015, 13:04
Gábor Bélik
Yep seen it and IMHO it have to be shiny. Thanks for the tip.
21 June 2015, 13:49
Ivo Fanczi
I love it
21 June 2015, 19:28
Gábor Bélik

22 June 2015, 21:11
Gábor Bélik
Yep. Pigments on their way. 🙂

Gábor Bélik
Tracks dusted. Only accessories left.
27 June 2015, 19:07
Kerry COX
Gabor, a hearty "Beautifully done" from me on the whole build mate and especially the tracks, as the way you have done them gives the whole thing an air of 'exactness', or preciseness if you like.
You have hit the jackpot buddy. 🙂 👍 👍 👍
27 June 2015, 19:44
Christian Meyerhoff
Well, Gabor... I like cats... And this one is one of the best I´ve seen so far! What a beauty !!!
27 June 2015, 19:56
Kerry COX
I totally agree with Christian Gabor. 🙂 👍
27 June 2015, 20:36
Gábor Bélik
Thank you very much Kerry and Christian. You are too kind 🙂 Maybe I gather my courage and enter this one to a competition competition.
27 June 2015, 20:44
Kerry COX
Bound to walk away with "Best in show" mate. 🙂 👍.
27 June 2015, 20:47
Christian Meyerhoff
Yep !
27 June 2015, 20:59
Hunter Cummins
Holy S**t!!!! Gabor that is a real stunner so far!! Thentracks have turned out perfect. They look like rel metal and look heavy 😄
27 June 2015, 21:42
Gábor Bélik
Kerry, Christian. Thanks. Let's hope it will happen 😄
Hunter. Thanks, they are real metal. Just kidding I know what you mean. 😄
28 June 2015, 07:23
Hunter Cummins
Wouldn't be able to tell the difference either way lol 😄

6 July 2015, 08:09
Gábor Bélik
Yes you did. 🙂

Melf Boyens
wow! Is this actually still a plastic model or did you cheat us and took the pcitures from a Museum? This is giving me big frustrating and putting me back into the "Absolute Beginner" - toddler Group of builders....simply amazed about your skills!
6 July 2015, 10:56
Gábor Bélik
Thanks Melf.
I'm happy that you find it realistic. 🙂
6 July 2015, 14:29
M.Julian Marles
Add me to the toddler group lol...this is a very pro build!😉
6 July 2015, 18:29
Gábor Bélik
Thanks Julian. I wouldn't say that I'm a pro at all 🙂
This Panther is full of inaccuracies (not that I'm obsessed with accuracy) 🙂
The fun factor is more important to me.
6 July 2015, 19:23
Thorsten Kleemann
Wow, I like it very much and excellent step by step pics.
