Nice work, the Panther really looks realistic with a lot of nice weathering and an impressive base.

And another contribution, that costs very little to do. Never thought of using solder on the edges, I have the screen and couldn't come up with something for the frame. Wonderful.

Cheers,
Wade

solder is great for so many things...braces, hydraulic & fuel lines lines or electric cables, quick fix brackets. Can fit it to anything with flat nose or round nose pliers. This another good application.

Nice job on your screens and your weathering is excellent. Thanks for sharing the pictures since I think this will inspire others in their future tank projects.

Nice work, but for about $15.00 shipped you would have them to glue on in seconds.
