Chaps, thank you kindly for your praise

.

I now call the what if Panther done

.
The very restrained weathering is because this beast is new to the battle field, so basically only dust has accumulated
around the lower hull. The grab handles on the hatches have been worn down, and that is as far it goes.

Thanks for watching and as always ACACW

Still a top shelf model.

I mix dust and earth pigments always before I apply them. Just a few stirs to keep them different shades.
Great job on the entire beast my neighbour.
