Hey guys ... Heres something i am building for a friend .. Its Jeremy's fault for starting that What if campaign ,,built one vehicle for that but then my wee twisted mind got to thinking again and talking to a mate i came up with this thing .. its got four cut down tank hulls under it and 90% is nothing but scratch built using one hell of alot sheet styrene ,,mostly 2mm and 1.5mm sheet was used with the odd bit of 1mm for good measure ,,theres a heap more pics of it on the What if campaign page but heres some pics of what it looks like now

The guns by the way are not going to be mounted like that just an idea of where they will sit but alot more angled .


Closer pic of the AA gun pods





And the last pic is there to give you guys some idea on its size..thats a 1/35 King Tiger beside it


Another warped idea coming to life and all comments are welcome guys

Phil,

Your Beast reminds me of a Super Heavy Tank from the old OGRE/GEV Board Game, which is one of my favorites.

Hell of a shell trap under the main guns, though, but I very much like this!

That will be deafening when all 4 Gatling guns cut loose at once. Be hard on the finish of the attackers, too.

Hey Phill,

Thats a ''unusual'' cool build there The Gatling guns look cool but a vulnerable target...

I myself have a idea to build the mammoth tank of the game command and conquer red alert

Regards,

Remco

That game got me looking for double-barrelled tanks. I am a devout follower if/when you start your build. Cast it and I'll buy one.

I have a lot of costumers for the mammoth tank i see. I can not make them from resin, but i can make a very nice blueprint on paper of the model i make. With the material list to join it...

I have a lot of drawings of this tank.

Good compromise guys??
