Submitted for your approval (and the campaign) is my 1/35th DML Nashorn with crew members by Tristar. Except for a few pieces of personal equipment to give the fighting compartment a "lived in" look, the kit is OOTB.





If you like what you see, there are a few more pics in my gallery.

Ed,

Great gob. Were the tie downs P-E or on the kit that way?

Henk, the Tank Terror campaign has been extended to the 15th I believe. So you have more than one day now.

Thanks for the kind words! There are some photos of the interior in my gallery, although I have to admit they aren't great. As for your question, Puma, the tie downs come in plastic with the kit. They're pretty delicate and must be handled with care. I almost lost a couple of them but was lucky enough to recover them.

wow, very nice entry you've got there, would you mind taking a few rear shots and some of the inside, i'm sure theres more nice details hiding

what did you use for the rope on the side?

The rope on the side was made with some fine sewing thread that I painted steel and rust to simulate wire, which was sometimes used to hold down foliage. It turned out a little fuzzy in spots, which is one of the downsides of using thread, but it did add some new opportunities to add weathering to the kit. As for the interior details, there are a couple of pics in my gallery. If those aren't enough, and I get a chance, I'll take a few more and post them in my gallery.

I've uploaded some new photos of the interior in my gallery. I had to enhance some of them to compensate for the shadows, so the colors on some are sort of washed outj. The blurriness is due to my getting accustomed to a new camera and my not being the world's greatest photographer.



Hope you like them!

awsome interior, the action inside it makes the model really come to life. the floor dirt and grime is perfect in my eyes.

Grat build! Camo looks super. Everything about it looks really, really good. It's a great addition to our "Tank Terror" Campaign. Thanks for submitting it.
