Things are progressing, almost all the parts are printed, just some assembly left to do. I'm hoping to deliver it at the December meet on the 17th (weather permitting and it still being on).
Onwards and upwards

Well the most fiddly job out of the whole build is finished, the rest is a piece of cake by comparison
Those minute hinges are enough to unhinge me
Anyway own to the final finishes and then electronics testing.

Making great progress and hoping to deliver the tank next Sunday.
Installed and tested the slew motor
The upper hull is now finished and all that remains is to do the final bits on the gun and it's ready to go. I'm just waiting for some brass rod for the dampers and control wheels, and then I can finish off and test the elevate and recoil servos.

I say go for it
not trying to overwhelm Alwyn with extra work, but you would absolutely enjoy it and the Nashorn will quickly become the pride of your collection!
It is my favorite piece
