Impressive work in that scale, if I had not read the title first, I would have thought it was a larger scale.

Talk about a bad day at the destruction derby. I can't even begin to think of something like this in braille scale. What kit did you use? Was the interior included? What method did you use for the whitewash?

Steve,
Exceedingly well done. Your scratch building and detailing were very impressive, and your paint and weathering finishes are quite realistic.
Will you add this to a dio? If so, then the added scenery and possibly some snow effects should make this an incredible scene.
ESSAYONS!

It looks fantastic but your damage seems to be rather indiscriminate. Either this Nashtorn found it self on the team or it was used for target practice.

Being able to depict a destroyed vehicle realistically is an advanced modeling skill...you've achieved this absolutely. Congrats! Bill

@stevegs – Steve,
Extreme modeling! Excellent photographs too. I have to agree this does look like a larger scale build.

Simply an outstanding build. hard to believe this is Braille scale. I couldn't come close to what you achieved in 1/35 scale.
