Nashorn Ambush

Well i finally finished my mini dio of Dragon's old Nashorn. I added
a MG crew as well, to help fill out empty space.

Nicely done.  I really like the foliage, and the subtle weathering.  No element overpowers any other. 

Bravo!

Too Cool Buddy!

I like it alot--I agree the foliage is very convincing--especially up on the Nashorn--great job it it too. I especially like the figures--they're looking the business. I really like the guy with tunic open-where's he from? Also what did you use for the ammo belt?

Very well done. I too like the German with his tunic open. Adds a little more character to the scene. I also like the netting on the German A-gunner's helmet. One thing that sticks out to me, for what its worth, is the foliage on the Nashorn. I'm not too keen on the floral arrangement they have going on there. Seems to stick out a little much. Just my opinion and it doesn't detract from the over all appearance! Yes

Thanks much guys, the guy with the open shirt was from one of those after market
companies, i think maybe DNS??, not sure cuz i picked it up at a show in a plastic bag.

And indy those ammo belts i got from Squadron, their made of rubber, very flexable.
My fav is the lead ones, i think VLS used to carry these.

Outstanding work on the figs, groundwork and Nash...my three constructive critiques would be:

---MG crew a tad too close to the Nash

---some silvering on the Nash decals

---travel lock on the Nash's gun would probably be disengaged...

I apriciate the feed back Manstein, yeah i used decals, dam, i forgot i had stenciles and even rub ons.
Unfortunatly this kit has the gun barrel and lock molded in one piece( aluminum). So i figured they
just pulled up, eh what do ya do?

Now if i could just remember to skip the decals in the future!
