Like that pre-shading!!!!

Merganser

Great job on the pictures. I had planed to pass on the new Panther, but I may change my mind when Eric says they are in depending on the price point and what type of radio it has. Wonderful work! jot

sollie

You guy's want to see some color ? :P

Tanker 10

Looks great sollie, your shading work is very evident.

sollie

Adding a few stripes

MAUS45

I like the color scheme. Looks good.

sollie

Thanks for looking :-) Just started on the lower hull now, so let's see in a short while , how it all goes together

Pre-shading and post-shading really bring out the details and give depth, Really like the colors overall. Thanks for sharing Sollie!!!

sollie

thanks for looking :-)

While I wait for my head to figure out how I want the upper deck and turret to look ( weathering vice ) I started on the Wheels . Light wash's and predust and mud.

Using water thinned AK Dust , and air from the AB I 'blow' the dust arround on the Wheel













'buffing the washes



Adding oil streaks

Placing a good drop of mig/ak/ammo Oil in one corner of center Wheel.




grab the Axel With my pliers, and 'spinn the whell as good as I can

sollie

well, been a while since I updated last here .

TK-60 have arrived
my second DKLM-RC gearbox have arrived , and installed .
Done some work on the Wheels

Imex-Erik

Awesome work! I'm really liking the wheels.

sollie

thanks man :-) happy to hear, not yet taken them to my liking 100% , so I will do the lower part of the hull first , and see how dirty I make it before doing more on the Wheels

thinking something is this area

Imex-Erik

Oh yea that looks good and grimy there. The darker the better IMO for that.

YHR

I am interested in hearing your thoughts on the TK60

sollie

as soon as I get the programing cable ( mr Clark forgot to include... ) I will sit down, the sound 'side' of this card is pritty much what has my attention. Beside that it is as grown tk24, same connections/stick controlling as tje 20-22-24 series . ( also need to read the manual, as I belive it has some other functions the 20's series do not have )

Imex-Erik

I'm pretty sure there are no more of those horrible half stick movements in the TK60 as it allows a 8ch operation. Looking at his manual it looks as if 6ch is already implemented with 8ch coming soon. I'm glad as I absolutely hate half stick movements. With 6+ channel radios the norm now there is no reason to have them IMO. I however am not 100% as he hasn't sent me one to play with
I personally don't even own a PWM receiver anymore, I have to use my backups to work with a PWM model

Oh and are those grey tracks the impact ones?

sollie

Erik, those are some tracks from Carson ( DKLM ) Just some he made for personal use . I 'stole' the photo from him , to show a fully loaded panther hull .

Panther F

I think those wheels are just fine (and I like them too) so after you 'dirty' them up like you said and add them to the vehicle they won't stand out like they do now.
