You realize that when it is finished, it will be longer than your bed? That's just too much model for me. To find space for that I'd have to divorce my wife, expel the kids, and start getting rid of furniture.

You clicked the link too soon, the previous version of the page contained information relating to the 1/35th Dora cannon (also by Soar Art) which is HUGE in 1/35th.
The Howitzer is a lot smaller but it's still big, guessing from the images it seems to be somewhere between 5 and 6 metres tall.

BTW: I'm a tall guy so I have a 6'11'' bed so the Dora would just about fit on top of it
