Carl when I saw the loudspeaker sitting on the bench my first thought was that it was for another project as I didn't see how it would fit into the Nashorn........ Little did I know 8O 8O In old pre-metrication days we would say that you have managed to put a quart into a pint pot - jolly well done! Please let me know the brand/product name for the battery as it looks like a slimline one and I need to get one for my prototype.

Once again - AMAZING work. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Alwyn :thumbup: :wave:

Can't afford to dwell on the jaw-dropping aspects of your handiwork for too long, Alwyn (especially that verdammte Gun >:< :sick: Why did it have to be so G.. O.. O.. D?? Cue: "Amadeus" movie, with Salieri listening to Mozart's latest..)..as I'm rapidly developing a severe inferiority complex :haha: :haha: Ermm...
Can you play the guitar, bass, drums, and piano? Well I can..so there!! :lolno: :haha:
By the way, I'm quite impressed with your new protege/ apprentice too. Well done, Carl :thumbup:

No all I can do is hum and at that out of tune! I don't know about Carl being an apprentice, he's already demonstrated some quite advanced skill - I think his finishes will definitely better mine. :clap: :clap:

While I await my parts for the Nashorn to arrive....spare track holders road wheels etc.... I have been researching online some photos and completed models of the Nashorn in all scales.

One camo design I am growing fond of...

Simple and effective IMHO...

Still working on itImage

Me, I like the second pic................only because its complete, and looks more 'busy'

The first one is hard for me to envisage weathered and washed...........

Both would be great

AND, its your model done your way, so, you are on your own sunshine !!!!!!!!!!!
