Hi Terry,

You left out the < img and / > from your HTML code! Copying the whole code should result in this:



Tom

ahh ic ic .. still learning over here. thanks a bunch . also one quick question .. where do u guys recomend ordering online from . my local hobby shop takes years to order in kits. but if ur reading this jack you do have an amazing selection. just nothing in super heavy. lol

wow i didnt thi k it would be this hard to find a super heavy other then a tortoise or a t28 online.. i shall continue the search for a panzer maus or a jap o-1 . hope i find one of those two.

Terry
Have look on Ebay for a Maus there are allways a few on there and we have two months to go yet
Andy

I might lean towards a MAUS as well. Always wanted to have one sitting next to a Sherman (kind of a sick joke I know) but I do love Shermans too.

We've got some time.

Andy i have a question for ya ... would something like the Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte be allowed ?
I ask this it was never built even tho the turret was and there is so many different drawings of this thing its hard to know which is real or based on the original design which according to my info was 1942 .
So would be it classed as a what if or as a partly built vehicle even tho it was only the turret which in all honesty was stolen from a dead ship and modified .
Help please Andy mate

Phill

Whoa...




...where would one put this monster at?









~ Jeff

Phil,
It's in the list on the first post, so I think that means it's allowed.

Cheers Rob.

Dude i do not know

Rob i should have read that which i had but not very clearly it would seem
Now here;s the scarey part .. i did some math and converted the measurements from 1/1 to 1/35 and i hop you guys are sitting down .. check this out .
In 1/35 scale it is 1 metre ( 3.2ft) long, 400mm (1.3feet ) wide and 314mm (1.03ft) in height. CRAP!!!!!!
This thing is massive and as Jeff asked .. i have no freakin idea

Phill

Phil,go on and build one ,I'll dare you,no, I'll double dare you!!!! that thing is off the scale,that turret is Bismarck size or bigger!!
Thanks for the pic Jeff
Andy

OH YOU DOUBLE DARE ME NOW DO YOU ???? ohhh its on now matey
Then i guess thats what i will be building then since i got DD'ed by Andy

That turret is from the Gneisenau class ship mate and what they did was remove one of the guns and move the outta two guns in a bit to open the turret up a bit inside .. now i have to find someone with a wood lathe ,,need to have some 280mm gun barrels made

Phill

Phill, you're a Legend,
I've got a wood lathe and would do the barrels for you FOC
and I'll pay the postage to NZ just for DDing you into this!!!
Andy

Oh your an evil person Andy thanks a heap for that mate ,,i'll draw up some plans for the barrels in 35th scale and get a mate to scan them .makes it easy as hell then ,thinking some good dowel would work nicely for the wood,,its cheap and pretty good to work with ,once i figure out the dia that is
Man i really have to build this now ..what the hell have i gotten myself into
Phill

Phill
you can go smaller if 1/35 is too big,1/72-76 or 1/144 or really any scale thats suits your space!
Andy

Andy ,,Oh you think i am gonna wimp out and build something smaller guess again buddy boy
I work in 35th so its easy for me to build it to that scale and all the bits i will need are in 35th and i already have most of those bits .
How the hell am i gonna do those tracks is my biggest question at the moment .


Phill

Game on Phill you lunatic!!!!,let me know the dims for the barrels and turn some for you.
Andy

Game is a foot my good man soon as i can find out the dims you'll be the first to know .. trouble is finding the info on those guns .
I asked a question on the Model Shipwrights forum about info on these guns ..they are 28 cm SK C/34 naval guns and all i can find is the length which is 15.28 metres to the breech ,,but the more important stuff is being a wee annoying to say the least.

Phill

Outstanding Phill,outstanding what about the girlie peashooter turrets at the back!!?

Andy now thats a good question ,,i have seen so many different types sitting in those two spots ,,everything from a Maus type turret with 128mm guns to something with twin 50mm AA guns .
The version i think i'll go for is the one with twin Tiger 1 turrets as i think using Maus type turrets is wrong cause of when this thing was designed .
One pic i did see i liked a lot ,,guns all over the place , Tiger turrets on the back,,twin AA ball type turrets on the front upper and a 128mm in the nose.
This one sounds like me

Phill

Gentlemen,

I am in, having a TOG 2 in mind. Not sure if I can do it in the given timeframe, but I'll try. Said this, can you perhaps point me in a direction where I can find a walkaround? I know there is one tank in Bovington...

The TOG will be an awesome project.

Hi there Jeff,
I haven´t been to Bovvi since 2000, where the hell did that come from ?
Or is it a replica like the A7V in the Munster tank museum?
Paul

I believe it's pieced together. http://www.tanks.net/british-world-war-two-tanks/tog-heavy-tanks.html These were tanks developed to cross trenches in WWII but never saw service.
