What's crazy, impractical and bigger than a Maus...

[Leon]

looking at some of the images you can use the Ratte hull (modified) add the gun (similar to 14" rail gun) - 2 part resin cast. Do the 4 supports in metal. Simples  .

Ratte £30, Monster say £40-£45. I'd buy one 

plus you'd sell 10 infantry packs to man it 

please

Did it not have snorkel system so that it didn't have to ever use a bridge (as they worked out that much) so they just found a shallow bit of banking and drove across? (in theory).

Any guesses on the Miles Per Gallon?

WAsn't the snorkel on the maus? ::

"V1

The first, turretless prototype (V1) was assembled by Alkett in December 1943. Tests started the same month, with a mock turret fitted of the same weight as the real turret.[1] In June 1944 the production turret, with armament, was used for tests.[1]

The Maus was surprisingly agile for its 188 ton weight. Its minimal turning radius was 7.25 m, almost twice that of a Tiger I at 3.55m, but significantly less the 18.6 m for an M4 Sherman mid production.

The Maus was simply too heavy to cross bridges. As a result an alternative system was developed, where the Maus would instead ford the rivers it needed to cross. Due to its size it could ford relatively deep streams, but for deeper ones it was to submerge and drive across the river bottom. The solution required tanks to be paired up. One Maus would supply electrical power to the crossing vehicle via a cable until it reached the other side. The crew would receive air through a large snorkel, which was long enough for the tank to go 45 feet (13 m) underwater."

Does no-one do a Mk IV tank in 2mm scale...  

Actually there's a Goliath in the "Axis & Allies" collectable figure range that is nominally 15mm scale but is passable as 10mm scale.

I'll post pics once I have the Sdkfz 251 from my latest order to act as the mothership.

I have the unit plus two Pendraken crew based up so far, just need the Hannomag and I'm good to go with painting.

[Ithoriel]

Sdkfz 251 turned up in the post this morning - thanks Leon.

Undercoated and ready to start painting tomorrow - gales, floods and other acts of god permitting.

Centerpiece of the 1946 range, eh Leon?

Yep!  We've got the Maus as well, plus some Weird War walkers to be production moulded.

[Jay Arnold]

Nazi zombies? Werewolves in Feldmutze? Allied golems? Or not that wierd? 

Seriously, you need to do Japanese zombies.

And Tesla turrets for ground mounting and tanks.

Jetpack Fallschirmjaeger and Brit/US Airborne.

Native American shaman.

I never thought about this one !

Why should 1946 suddenly open the floodgates to zombies and other weirdness? Mind you, I was born in '47 so perhaps there's something in it.... 

[Jay Arnold]

The possibility of Germany fighting into '46 is fantasy in and of itself. Now you're getting bothered about Zombies and atomic-powered Tesla tanks? 

Besides, who doesn't like zombies?   

I'm guessing someone has already mentioned Infantry with NVA helmets?

I'm not fond of zombies, I must admit.   

[barbarian]

But THEY are fond of you.

BRAINS !....LIVE BRAINS !

LIVE BRAINS !

Zombies would starve round here, then.
