Hello all.
I've been a long time viewer on Armorama but have never posted one of my builds on the site.
I recently thinned my 'herd' of built kits on eBay to fund my hobby. In the course of getting these kits ready for auction, I obviously needed to photograph them. I have to say it amazing what the Mark1 Human Eyeball can miss!
With all that being said, I thought I would take the plunge and post one of my builds to the site (hopefully more will follow).
The Kit is the trusty Dragon Panther A Early with Atak Zimmerit and the Royal Models detail set (which was really great to work with).
Please pardon the photo quality as I am still learning how to set up a photo shoot.
Please be kind to the 'newbie' and any constructive criticism is welcome.
Happy Modeling.

You have done a very nice job. This really shows your talent for adding pin washes, pigment use and pre-shading. The only criticism I have is that decals look like they were freshly painted. Add a filter the same color as the top coat to tone them down.

Thanks for comments gents.
Matt, thanks for the advise on the filter. Never really tried one but there is no time like the present.
Thanks again.
