Thought I better add these to this thread
Had this unit of Knights Panther and decided to finish them off. I've never really felt the 'official' colour scheme was right for them, I prefer the black and yellow/ochre of what Panthers actually look like. I did have red trim, and I thought since nearly all my Knights would have had red trimmings, it would be worth testing a model with some blue trimmings and see how it looks. And I think it worked better, so I've re-done the unit.
It's not obvious from these photos but, I've also used the gloss varnish on the black barding, conversly what is obvious in the photos that you don't see so well on the models is the dreaded mold lines
Here are some before and after shots
