Panther3

[Wyrmshadow]

I usually browse a What-If modeling forum and I get a lot of ideas from it. They use plastic, rather than a digital medium but they like anyone that stays and visits. I saw one project of a guy hacking apart a Panther and giving it a new gun, and transmission. I was inspired tonite. So I decided to kitbash and hack together some of my tank models that I got from various places like Gunpoint3d.

The model pics ontop are what inspired me. I took a Panther model I bought from Gunpoint and I went nutz on it. The barrel is a L7 105mm from an M-60A3 and so are the road wheels. Cupola,rangefinder from a AMX-30. MG3 from Leo2. The smoke dischargers are just separate models I found. Most of the rest like the skirts are from the Gunpoint Challenger2. the tracks I had grabbed from a BF1942 model because I didn't want to mess with individual track links. The ERA you see in the brown picture is just some cubes. I put this all together in Bryce. I really can't hold a candle to most of the professionals that post their work here. Maybe a match.

Heinz Guderian would be proud :p

It's a great amalgamation, and it appears it would be effective on the battlefield.
