Hello again guys.

Have been very busy for the last 8 months and finally have everything sorted and I can continue my beloved hobby.

It's been soooo loooong, I couldn't find out what to do next with amazing Nashorn but finally remind what I did and what I need to do. Anyways, I've finished the most complicated build I had so far.

Had problems with painting as I wanted to do the hair laquer method for scratches and stuff. I was crying when after applying paint the next day, it was coming off and looked like a mess. Painted again and again. Finally I've managed to make it.

There was a problem with the so called "magic tracks" made by Dragon. They not workable at all. If you assemble them without glue it falls apart If you use some glue, it's too stiff. Had to build it in sections like tracks in 1/72 scale models.

No more talking guys, hope you missed me and you like the build:smiling3:

Looks great, very rusted and used looking. The interior looks especially worn, with the shell loading and whatnot...

Looks brilliant, love what you've done to the interior and the weathering/wear and tear on the gun breech.

Excellent work! The mud effect is great, and the general weathering and chipping is very well done.

Very nice!

Very nice Rhino (Nashorn) the finish is very well done and the weathering applied with restrained hand. The interior and especially gun breech are excellent.

Cheers

Mate all that effort was well worth it, what an absolute cracker. That rusty exhaust is perfect, the scratches on the interior cab and gun are beautifully done., not to mention excellent paint and weathering....... Love it.
