discussion Dragon - 1/35 - Sd.Kfz.164 Nashorn

[bluriusz]

Hello again guys.

Have been very busy for the last 8 months and finally have everything sorted and I can continue my beloved hobby.

It's been soooo loooong, I couldn't find out what to do next with amazing Nashorn but finally remind what I did and what I need to do. Anyways, I've finished the most complicated build I had so far.

Had problems with painting as I wanted to do the hair laquer method for scratches and stuff. I was crying when after applying paint the next day, it was coming off and looked like a mess. Painted again and again. Finally I've managed to make it.

There was a problem with the so called "magic tracks" made by Dragon. They not workable at all. If you assemble them without glue it falls apart If you use some glue, it's too stiff. Had to build it in sections like tracks in 1/72 scale models.

No more talking guys, hope you missed me and you like the build

Looks great, very rusted and used looking. The interior looks especially worn, with the shell loading and whatnot...

What a masterful build Bart, top quality in every aspect, very authentic painting and detailing. Great build from me.

Excellent work! The mud effect is great, and the general weathering and chipping is very well done.

Very nice!

A great build nearly looks as mean as your Avatar

Very nice Rhino (Nashorn) the finish is very well done and the weathering applied with restrained hand. The interior and especially gun breech are excellent.

Cheers

As everyone has said you have done a great job mate. Beautifully finished and worn nicely. Well done.

 

[Guest]

Mate all that effort was well worth it, what an absolute cracker. That rusty exhaust is perfect, the scratches on the interior cab and gun are beautifully done., not to mention excellent paint and weathering....... Love it.
