After adding Tamiya fuel drums and ammo boxes to the engine deck of Tamiya’s 1/35 scale Panther, Greg painted it with Tamiya lacquer spray paint. He flowed on a wash of raw umber artist oil paint then dry-brushed Tamiya Weathering Master snow for the winter camo. The figures are Dragon Panzer Grenadiers Wiking Division Hungary 1945 painted with Tamiya acrylics; the tank commander is from a Tamiya tank crew set. He set the scene on MiniArt’s Country Road set with Vallejo mud and Citadel snow fixed with white glue. The diorama is on permanent display in the Wehrmacht Hall at the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum in Cairns in northern Queensland. “We actually have a working World War II Normandy Panther restored by Axis Track in the UK on display at the museum,” Greg says.
