Bill, beautiful Nashorn my friend.

Thanks Bob!

...I've actually had to take some of the older builds down and have them in a cardboard box awaiting cannibalization for parts and other uses!

 Man, they look too good to tear up for parts. Sell 'em on Ebay.....   they easily look good enough to afford you NEW kits; you know, NEW spare parts and that's without even getting a huge sum like some of the others do.

Heck, there are people that would love to have one of those.

It seems like I'm always liking the newest build of yours as your best work. This one just looks beautiful, from the camo to the subtle weathering. Homerun Bill.

DM, by older kits I mean the ones I built back in 2002-03...these are the kits I "learned" on and have kept around. The more recent kits, for example all the ones that I've blogged or had published, I still have on hand and have no intention of converting to parts. They may end up on ebay in the future but are still my babies. Tough to part with them but eventually I'm going to have to do something with them as space is always limited.

Eric, thanks for the comments and glad you like it!

That my friend is a Prosperity Problem!

A good one to have!  Your work is phenonmenal SIr.  I f I had all those well done miniatures i would make a Godzilla movie and my fingers are out of sync with my typing as I type this and I am moving my body in dramtic over acted movements!

Thanks Ed! Your Godzilla reference reminds me of afternoons in the backyard with fire crackers and BB guns! I have a burn scar on my right forearm from one "re-enactment" that involved the attack on Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the Arizona but we don't have to get into the details...suffice to say that molten styrene and an unfortunate gust of wind combined together to leave a "lasting" memory.

Hey Bill,

Sorry I haven't been around more to see the end of this build, but it came out great. Another high-quality build and WIP to match. These open-top vehicles always take a little longer, but the increased eye candy of the interior always makes it worth it!

Thanks Karl, glad you were able to poke your head in from the MOPAR garage!

Very nice, I can't wait to start mine.  Maybe after the Tamiya Marder III I'm working on.  (amazing working on the Tamiya kit, when finised all the trees are completely empty of parts....I'm sure this DML won't be that way...the Tamiya really gives you a feeling of being finished).

Thanks ps1, a little surprised to see this one resurrect. Yes indeed you will find yourself with the usual DML spares bin candidates when its all said and done. I did the older Premium kit and not the newer Smart Kit, so just want to be clear on that point depending on which one you have in the stash as they are different kits in many ways.
