Having given the ruins from the JagdPanther boxed set a repaint using Citadel Base: Mechanicus Standard Grey, the next stage was some drybrushing to bring out the detail.
This now (to me) looks much better than it did before.

Repainting the Ruins
Having decided I wasn’t happy with my progress so far with the ruins from the JagdPanther box, I took the decision to repaint most of it.
I used Citadel Base: Mechanicus Standard Grey to give the model a basecoat of dark grey.
However I kept the floor as is.
Thoughts on the ruins
I have been thinking about how I should paint the ruins that came with my Jagdpanther.
So far I have not been pleased with what I have done so far…
As a result I have been looking online and in Flames of War publications for ideas.
Finding this page on the Flames of War website made me realise I wasn’t going in the right direction with my model.
As you can see from the two examples they have done, there are quite a few things I need to do to my model.
I think I might need to start again!
Flames of War Ruins
In the Flames of War Jagdpanther boxed set as well as the Jagdpanther you get a set of ruins. After washing the resin I gave the model a white undercoat.
I started to paint the ruins, wooden floor and red brick for the bricks.
I don’t like how it’s turned out, so I might repaint with a more subtle style. I think it’s the contrast between the red bricks and the unpainted walls.

Flames of War Jagdpanther Ruins
In the Flames of War Jagdpanther boxed set as well as the Jagdpanther you get a set of ruins. After washing the resin I gave the model a white undercoat.
After undercoating I noticed that the model was cracked.
This wasn’t part of the casting, and the model had broken at some point. It could have been before I bought it, or I may have broken it. I decided to fix it with some recently purchased liquid green stuff which seemed ideal for this kind of problem.
It worked fine as you can see from this shot, it filled the crack quite nicely. I could the use a wet brush to smooth the “filler” down.

Flames of War Jagdpanther
The Jagdpanther was a tank destroyer built by Nazi Germany during World War II based on the chassis of the Panther tank. It entered service late in the war and saw service on the Eastern and Western fronts. Many military historians consider the Jagdpanther to be one of the best tank destroyers of the war due to the combination of the very powerful 8.8 cm KwK 43 cannon and the characteristically excellent armor and suspension of the Panther chassis.
Managed to get one cheap in a Hobbycraft sale.
The kit consists of the resin building, a resin hull and metal components such as tracks and track guards.
The main part of the model is the resin hull, which is well detailed.
See the workbench feature on the Jagdpanther.
The kit also contains a resin ruined building.
