Is he a board member? I was really surprised that they had the skill to do the interior like that but no weathering or detail on the paint job, almost looks like a "factory-ish" paint job. If I could get it for low enough I would buy it and repaint it.

I am selling the Panther tank.
I bought it already the way it was.I am selling a few of my personal collection armor pieces to get some resin kits from pickle and battleground toys.
The person who i bought it from is really talented,but i met him a little to late.He was moving to 1/16 scale.
The Hitler head was sculpted by plastic boy.I am still offering those to the board members for $10.00.Anybody interested feel free to PM me.
I hate to depart from the Panther,but a lot of resin kit have been made lately and i need to keep up.

I love the Panthers interior!! if you do some basic weathering (dirty it up alittle) to the outside you may be able to sell it for what you want or more! :D

Yes,that is another custom tank that i bought about a year ago.believe it or not this tank is mostly made of foam laminated with cardboard.the same type found in arts and craft stores.there is also a few parts made with balsa.The tank construction is very strong.It is not fragile by any means.It change the way i use to think about stuff made of foam.
I am not sure why the maker made it with those materials instead of styrene.My guess was to save on material cost.In my opinion the scale is slightly bigger than 1/18 maybe 1/16.I believe this because it is as big as my 1/16 elephant tank.
I did not made this tank,but i intend to try making a panzer III some day.It will be my first time making a custom tank.
I tough about the weather on the Panther,but i am not very confident in doing it until i practice with a spare parts panzer iv that i have.Once i learn how to do it.I will weathered all my 21st century tanks. I like the kind weather that Robbie makes on his vehicles.
