Hi All,
Here are a few shots of my current project. Its a destroyed nashorn on the Eastern Front.









Steve

What a fantastic build...
Makes me want to go to my working bench and make something similar!!

Very well done!


P.A.

Thats a very impressive model and only 1/72

I like these destroyed vehicle builds!

S

Yes, marvellous.
Can you give some indication of what all the parts are that you've used? Some is clearly homemade.

Hi Matthew,
The base kit is the Dragon 1/72 scale Hornisse (converted to Nashorn), the transmission is the CMK resin set, the barrel is by RB, the tracks are MACO ostketten, the roadwheels from Revell and the rest is from the spares box or scratchbuilt. I'll post more pics soon.

Steve

Steve,

Your Nashorn is a clean, well executed build. I very much like the added details, especially the seat frames!

I wasn't impressed with the look of the MACO tracks when I saw earlier images of them, but they look much better in yours.

[Edit] This also reminds me of Alex Clark's Nashorn in his books. Yours is pretty darned close to the level of his.

Please post some more "before paint" pics.

This is definitely something fascinating and that I don't recall ever seeing many trashed vehicles in this forum. I have the Hornise version of this vehicle and that looks intimidating enough, let alone with all the mods that you've made.

Cheers,
Jan

Hard to get me to stop talking but i am speachless.

Steve,Every time I feel I'm getting better at the small scale stuff,someone like you comes along and makes Me feel like a Rookie.Your build is just outstanding. Jeff T.

@stevegs – Steve,

Good lord someone’s bingo party was ruined! Outstanding craftsmanship! Excellent attention to detail, I like the missing tire on one of the road wheels. Looking forward to seeing more photographs as you progress along.

Great work. I wait to see the model painting. I'm sure it will be spectacular.

Best regards.

Hi All,
More pics, painting started.

Another amazing build Steve. Have you considered putting it in the "Knocked Out" campaign? I'm sure you can get it in, it started at the beginning of this year. Worth a shot (pun intended!)

Great build Steve,
If I'm right did you belong to the South Hants Military Modeling club in Southampton back in the 90's? If you are how you doing, I'm Dave the old Vietnam War modeller.

David

Hi David,
yes, thats right, how are you all doing? I keep meaning to come along to a meeting again. Is Terry Napin still going strong?
Regards,

steve

I'm doing well Steve,
I moved up to London back in 97 when I started making 1:1 scale eyes, got married and now have twin boys.
I had a quick online look and it seems Terry is still the club sec and they still meet in the University staff club house!
I still run into Adrian Cowdry at models shows and the other Dave who does the Sci Fi stuff.
It's good to see you still in the hobby, I remember how good your stuff was back then, your scratch built 1:35 Karl Morse blew me away. If I could only have a finger full of your talent I would be a happy man.
Best Wishes
David
