Hey Barv ... are ye sure ye have this in the right forum. Should be in the sci-fi with a Tardis beside it for scale! :-)
All joking aside, a figure alongside, is almost needed to show the scale size of this beastie. New one on me ... never heard of or seen this before.

That's a beaut!

It's the second one Ive seen, my friend Barry Beldam scratchbuilt one in 1/76 back nin the late 80's-early 90's. Thousands of bloody rivets in 1/76 scale.

He's mad of course...
