Tank "Overhaul": The Panther - WIP
-
Hello everyone,
Some time ago I build the Panther tank model ( it took me so long I might as well call it the Sisyphus project ). Then after watching that documentary on the History Channel, where they were overhauling a Panther wreck, I have decided to rebuild it. Since I already had a "new" one, I thought I might go the opposite way and apply some weathering to give it a worn look.
Eventually I could really use some kind of sketchy physics missile to knock it out ( that is, if I knew how to do it
)
This is how it looks so far. Thanks for watching!

woah!!!
-
Hehe, thanks!
( especially when it comes from the master... ) -
Really detailed model and great topic. Will follow closely
some extra info, like file size, face count etc would let members know ( and me of course ) the level of complexity
keep up the good work

It looks great!!!! Great modeling.

Looks great and takes excellent modelling skills, especially those tracks.
If you are going to model a vehicle, then a tanks a pretty cool choice!
-
Duude, u re the master here..i hardly believe i could model that amount of details!!!
-
damn..that is unreal. i WISH i had a quarter of the patience of some of you guys.
-
Damn, very cool.

Very killer treads.

Perhaps you are going to start a war?
Wonderful work!
-
Thanks for the kind words, guys, that is really encouraging!
Edit: file size 2,94 Mb Faces: 230577
It lacks details like bolts, swing arms, and some other barely visible parts. -
Thanks, guys!
I can´t even fight a "render war" around here, Roberto -
The only thing wrong that I can see, is you have it and I don't...Very nice work!
-
Hehe, I see quite a few, but thanks anyway!
-
Really nice model.
May I know how you built the track?
Thanks,

Great job. It is really good. I undarstand you didn't want to model all the bolts and small details, but you should model the bolts on the roadwheels. It looks strange without them. Once again: grat work. waiting for more renders (maybe with textures?)
-
Very impressive and good model!
-
Thanks again, guys!
@ ken28875: you can find the blueprints I used in this thread http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=25487. I have uploaded the model also.
Without using reference images I found at http://www.panther1944.de/index.php as well as photos I took in Vierville-sur-Mer during my trip to Normandy in 2008 it would be next to impossible.
@ shareck: yes, I know that without them the wheels look kinda bald ( especially the sprocket wheel ). But I am still working on it.
@ tomislavm: hvala (lega?) -
looks excellent, the gun housing is pretty bare could do with some weld seams or bolts and a few other details to liven it up, the wheels have already been mentioned apart from that it looks great!
