Well its a Tamiya Early Panther Ausf. G and my first model in over 7 years, I’m still waiting for the TC.
Give it to me strait, how did I do?
P.S. how do i post the picturs?
P.P.S. that is better, thanks for the instructions
Nice looking zimmerit. How did you do it?
It’s a good looking model.
That looks great. I like the muddy look. Your absence from the armor scene certainly doesn’t show.
First I’ll anser your question about posting the pics. You place the url’s that you have listed above between the following tags [img ] and [/img ], leave out the spaces, they’re just there for display purposes only.
Nice looking Panther !!! You’ve done a very nice job on your return to modelling beasty.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Robert, you and I did the same thing at almost exactly the same time. I went back in and deleted the links from my post!! LOL
There you go, swerdna. It really looks terrific. I just finished up the zimmerit on my Panther A. I know how tough it is to get that stuff even. You did a great job!
To post the pics, put the link in just like you did, but put [ i m g ] PutLinkHere [ / i m g ] but leave the spaces out of the meta commands.You can also go to the reply to topic page and click on the icon of the little picture and it will insert the commands for you. But you will have to position them around your link.
Welcome to the dark side forum. You’re off to one heck of a start with that beautiful Panther.
I used a resin set that I epoxied on and used squadron green on the joints, I don’t remeber the manufacture offhand, Thanks for the great comments.
Excellent Panther, Swerdna.
It doesn’t look like you missed a beat with the time off!
Regards, Dan
Fine work, Swerdna! You’ve captured a very authentic look with this model.
Swerdna, looking at the pics, again (it was late last night, sorry!). I wanted to comment on the mud effect you’ve achived…It is really fantastic! Really nice job with the way it just seems to hang on the wheels and the tracks.
Congrats.
Bill
Looks great Andrew. Is the zimm a Mirage set?
very nice!!! very dirty battleworn panther. would’ve never known it was the 1st in 7 years
Looks real good Swernda.
Great job Swernda. I know what it’s like being away from the hobby for awhile.

I guess its true that you never forget a skill, Excellent work. =)
swerdna,
Great job…!!! If this is your first in years then I can’t wait till you get back into the swing of it. Very impressive… The zim looks great and the weathering certainly good. The mud is very nice. I really like what you have done…
Keep it up and bring us more.
Nicely done! Is it 1/35th or 1/72 scale? What Brand? It certainly went together well, and your weathering is outstanding. Can’t wait to see more!
Excellent!! looking Panther swerdna. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. Welcome to the armor forum.

Let’s see, the kit was the Tamiya early Ausf. G in 1/35th. A Jordi Rubio barrel, Caviler zimm set (I feel like its kind of cheating), Eduard P.E. set. I scratch built the “running boards” (for lack of a better term) and cleaning rod storage tube on the left side out of Brass and thinned down the fenders with a motor-tool so I could battle damage them all. I finished it all of with Tamiya acrylics. It depicts a Panther from the 5th SS Panzer Div., Poland 1944. Thanks for all the great comments, and your welcoming me into this great forum.
Brian.
are you sure you haven’t been making models for 7 years. maybe in your sleep?
looks great
Nope, this is my first atempt since high school (and its light years ahead), I have been reading FSM and this forum religiously, and I must confess I started this about 6 months ago so I wasn’t modeling for 6.5 years. LOL.
