Sex Panther By Odion...

Thanks to Zorg, I have one of those pieces that I have always wanted. After settling on a close-enough box, here is my progress. I still need some leaves, but all in all, I am happy with it:

That's a great display! I didn't have the spare cash or the room to display it that way. Just add a bit of red to it's eyes and nostrils and get those leaves and it's spot on.

Thanks Risu!

:lol kwality job!

really pleased to see the first one done:thumbsup

i have one suggestion though... maybe you could put a plastic card circle around the lowering platform. this kinda seperates the moving part from the rest of the grass.

is that the box on ebay you pm'd me about?

thanks for the pics

I agree about the card, a pvc pipe might work as well.

Great Job TGG! The application of the astroturf is actually much nicer that the original. :thumbsup

Does the panther get stuck 40% of the time?

Thanks for the kind words. You guys are def. right about the platform, thanks for the suggestion. If you look at a screenshot, it appears that there is an ever so slight white "ring" around the hole. Might just dip my finger with some white acrylic paint and do a once around.

Yes Zorg, this is the eBay box. Its not PERFECT (that bottom latch is off). I was prepared to settle a bit if it meant paying much less. There is a leaf on the top of the box right now that I need to paint over too.

Also, I am aware the turf is not spot on, maybe its a bit finer in the movie, but again, I got this at a good price (and have plenty left over btw).

DM, the platform is actually just for show. I cut a circle out of the turf and raised it slightly around the circle with some balsa slabs.

Great job!!! Would you mind telling us what box you went with? Did the seller have more than just 1 for sale?
Thanks,Doug
