Thank you Kevin,

Looking at the box art it certainly looks impressive. I do have a question if the Maus does an emergency stop....... and the Ratte misses it??!!!?! Just a thought!

Do we have bets on the next paper Panzer?

Maybe this will lead to a 1/35 release one day. Just need to make a bigger cabinet.

Yeah, but did you see the flying saucers on the box art? Who wants to build a "tow truck" when you can build cool pretend stuff?

Perhaps they are using some of the anti-gravity units to keep the tub from sinking into the ground.

If it's German, maybe Dragon will make a 1/35 one. Oh wait...it's not on a Pz lV, Panther, or Tiger chassis! Forget it!

I was just thinking about this a couple of days back when I saw the spoof video by WarGaming about introducing it as a vehicle to the game. Apparently my wishes do come true. Let's hope for an Euromillion win for the next time. How much would this monster cost?
