P1000 Landkreuzer

[RocketmanTan]

Since I am going away in about a week, i feel that my last project before my vacation should be a relatively big one. Well, as the title says, this project will be a model of the P100 landkreuzer, which I just started an hour ago sign1. So far, I have the tread housings designed :mrgreen:

By the way: the reason I take screenshots with my webcam in shoddy quality is to deter impatient pirates.

oh thank you because I'm looking forward :mrgreen:
You can tell me what Scale will have die Ratte?

@Gerald: I just resized the parts I have, so I'll say it's about 1:72

Tank treads & a pantload of pages

Wow, after resizing the model, ONE HALF of a tank tread housing takes up one page...same goes for the treads. With just these four assemblies done, 8 pages have been taken up...

Hull & turret complete

Here are what the photos depict: one QUARTER of a tank hull, the turret, gun barrels

All that's left to design: axle for the turret, details

And here are the last sheets: details, support beams, flak guns, and the anti-tank turret. Now is time for the test build :mrgreen:

First half of the hull is complete

Here are the photos of the tank hull's construction: one half of a tank tread assembly, the inner support beams of said assembly, and the final complete hull halve.

Thanks for the support, guys! :thumb:

 

[RocketmanTan]

Hull is complete!

Wow, it's pretty darn sturdy!

 

[RocketmanTan]

Turret

The turret is complete, and it can rotate!

Anti-aircraft cannon and the Landkreuzer

Well, the model is complete! I thank all of you for your support along the way. I will start making improvements to the model and I will submit the final copy to the downloads section as soon as I can.

 

[Gerald43]

many thanks for your effort :thumb:
I'm forward to the model :twisted:

Turret improvements

The model is pretty much finished. I have improved the turret as to make it sleeker and more like that of a ship. The secondary turret has also been changed, being more like that of a panzer.

 

[Gerald43]

will you coloring the model?

 

[Fonzerlator]

If, my history serves me right this beast was never tested in combat? Even so it would have been pretty disasterous for the germans big target like that... bombers i hear? Nice model though cant wait to get stuck in : D

 

[Gerald43]

the waiting time is the hardest Time :java1:

@Fonzerlator: Yeah, Hitler would've been crazier than he already was to let that be built! sign1 Also, I read that the tank would've gotten stuck in the ground/destroyed the pavement due to its awesome weight.

@Gerald43: I won't be coloring this, unfortunately. Each part practically takes up and entire page, and I'll be helping the printer companies a lot if I color this in sign1 Of course, anyone can feel free to recolor this and post their results :thumb:
