QuoteMaus at 1.5? Two if you count the unarmoured turret.
Think that would count as a test or prototype? Otherwise we could have the Tiger (P). Definitely only one of those.

Some contenders for low production runs:
tanks proper - Swedish Strv m/38: 16 built and used
Strv m/39 - 20 built & used
American M2 medium tank - 18 built
if you include assault guns - Romanian TACAM R2 - 20 built

I think I'd count the Maus as a prototype - given the second one that never got it turret was very different from the first and neither looked as if they'd actually work.

Edit -Sorry - that was supposed to be an edit for 'its' not a quote - too much enthusiasm.

Was alerted to this by the American Battlefield Trust while Mrs Westie takes over the TV in preparation for her dancing programme ("Strictly Come Dancing") ...
Nice clear weather in Gettysburg today (yes, "GettysbUrg," Nobby  :P  :D )
With a little imagination, you can visualise ACW troops marching through the town (but perhaps not as well fed as some featured here  ;D ).
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I know we've had a few of these before, but they seem to be popping up on my YouTube
  • Carved from a solid block of lead!
  • Wot! no priming or undecoating?!!  :o  :o
  • What size brush is he using?
  • His wife is only 22!?!  :o
  • Most amazing ... a real blast from the past ... a miner.

Health and Safety! To be fair, when I first engaged with Pendraken, I assumed this is pretty much how it looked. Except the casters were somewhat less ... human ... and their hair was less glossy.

Tell me, do current sculptors sit at a mahogany desk in collar an tie? One suspects not.
BTW - that "British Frontier Fort" is, I think, somewhere in Belgium in 1815.

Back in the day when the family went on summer holiday to Swanage, my father always wore a collar and tie to the beach.

I can confirm that when Techno sculpts he like to get into the character of the model he is sculpting. He does this by wearing the correct clothing the warrior would have worn at the time.

This is not an issue with the WW2 or Arab -Israeli stuff, but a little more concerning when he is doing Berserkers.  :)

I have enjoyed the Little Wars TV team running a series on the battles of 1066, using a version of their Ravenfeast skirmish rules, amended for 'big battle'.

Aye, makes 6mm look very appealing (heretical thoughts, I know. Sorry!)

Good to see them showcasing smaller scales and tables, that make the games much more accessible :) .
