About Me

My photo
I'm a UK based modeller, specialising in German and Commonwealth armour. I have worked on a commission basis for enthusiasts all over the world, created masters for one of the big 1/32 resin "ready made" model companies, and have recently helped out on some projects for Archer Fine Transfers and other 1/35 armour accessory companies. I build for myself - when I have time! - concentrating on Stugs, Pz IV's and UK and Commonwealth WW2 stuff. I also post my work on www.track-link.com, www.missing-lynx.com and www.warwheels.net. Please leave comments or questions on the blog or on any of the websites I post on. If you would like to contact me, just click on "view my complete profile" below for my email address. All the best, and thanks for visiting! Dave

Barkmann's Panther

Here is the DML Panther Ausf A built as Barkmann's vehicle in Normandy. It features some extra etched brass (engine deck screens, spare track holders, tool clamps, chains etc) and home made zimm created with Squadron Green putty and a Tamiya zimm rake. 

I hollowed out the tow crevis and track cable holders and drilled them to allow the retaining pins to be added. The tow cable is spare DML ends with Karaya soft brass cabling.  

Crew are by DML with Hornet heads, and markings are Archer dry-transfers.  I also added periscope lenses using small cut-out rectangles of 35mm photo negative. A classic Steve Zaloga tip!
