Nice work!

I just built the old Dragon Elefant as a test run before I build the Trumpy one. I really like the Trumpeter Elefant and Ferdinand kits, good stuff

Erhan, Jeremy thnx.

Jeremy I like Trumpeter's Elephant and Ferdinand kits too. (And also Famo ). This was the first AFV kit of my poor modelling history. =)

Erhan: LOL indeed it was, and my first braille build as well

Cetin: I really like the FAMO too, but I'm waiting for my skills to improve before I build it. Your Elefant turned out a lot better than mine. I need to work on my drybrushing and weathering skills.

Very nice Elefant. I must say that the detail on the kit looks quite good and it could be hard to determine the scale. I've see 1/35 ones that don't look this good.

@centinsarf - Cetin,

I don't have this kit in my stash so I can't tell what parts you added / modified on your build? The finish and weathering look very good and quite convincing, I especially like the running gear. I have to agree with 'weathering_one' in that it's hard to determine the scale.

Thanks for sharing and posting your build here.

Hi Eddy, you can see the photos of the build process on the link below. =)
And I can say that this kit deserves to be in everybody's stash who likes to build braille scale.
