Thanks for the good words Carl. The prototype is pretty much there and functioning. Just need to get a new controller and get it all adjusted/tuned up. It means I can now get on with the kit without worrying about having to revise components.

Love the engineering and creativity in building this. But, I'm with you...needs a little more brown and green. Almost looks too NATO-ish.

That said, I'm still awed by the overall build and barely see the paint job. I just see a lot of ingenuity.

Hi Philip, yes I took a long look at it last night and decided it needed more. Also added the mudflaps and rear door furniture.

This is the scheme I was going with (more or less)

It looks better with camo on the chassis as well.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Just magnificent Mr Turner, sure will be a treat for the eyes when you weather it and load the ammo cabinets.
A true credit to your determination to do something because its there to do :clap: :clap:
Plus, innovation to burn.

I just keep looking at the gun breeches that you do and my jaw always drops. Alwyn there is only one other scratch built detailed Nashorn that I know of, I was chatting to the guy that built it a couple of days ago, but the detail that you have on yours is quite incredible. :thumbup:
