This is one beautiful build so far. Nothing like a Tamiya kit to reset one self
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Thomas—Wonderful! Such emotional details—the axle grease and complex textures of the bogies are absolutely incredible. Your work gives the eyes something to explore with each turn of the corner so to speak! I like the lettering—the colors, crispness are a natural contrast to the pounded metal skin! Fabulous work!! I hope your evening is also enjoyable! Cheers.

Just got up this beautiful morning, came over to our little place, and I am speechless! Never thought this many, so wonderful, replies to just a few pics of this little beauty! Already in the morning you all made my day!! Thank you so much!

This is one of Andy´s videos that started the fire for me on this one:



Andy is in Germany today! He is a special guest at my favourite hobby shop, Modellbau König, or MBK. Wished I could shake hands with him, but this would need an 8 hour drive at least... And that´s on German Autobahn! No 55 miles limit! :quotes:

That is a cracking superb build Thomas - kind of knocks mine into another planet! I'm looking forward to seeing it finished. I agree with you, it is a fantastic little kit with no issues what so ever. I've been really enjoying mine.

May I ask how you did the mud splatter behind the road wheels?
