1/35 scale Dora railway gun

Nice review from Squadron.  This is one big model and expensive.

I haven't done 1/35th in years, but damn, this could convince me to try one. Great thing is, I think an aluminum baseball bat would work great as a gun barrel...

Zero interest in building that.

[Gazzas]

It would be cool to build...   but populating it with figures to bring it to life might be more than I could do.  The most figures I have done for any one build was nine.  But that's a fraction of what would be required to bring life to that monster.

[Gazzas]

This makes me think that a 1/35 scale Anzio Annie would be a cool build...   with figures of course.  But not random figures.  And not tanks and infantry all-round.  But the true stuff of artillery...  cannoneers and all of their many tasks.  Or a bunch of guys with their hands over their ears and one dude about to pull the firing lanyard.

Well……damn! That’s uge! George Lucas would’ve loved to get hold of some of that structure back in the late 70’s

With that many big boxes he’s gonna need a couple of cats.

all jokes…all the jokes I could think of, aside, I think it’s too big for a household display piece? Looks like the kind of thing that should be in a museum or legion hall.

but thanks for posting the link.

What do ya think?  The same length of 4 Revell Ju-88 kits wing tip to wing tip?  I have used up all the model display space. So not for me

The gun does not have the ammunition tender.  Another 1/2 meter long +/-

It looks great. I have the Hobby Boss 1/72 one and it's big enough.

I think my pal has something similar in mind for his recently acquired kit. Both Trumpeter and Tamiya, probably others as well, make dedicated 1:35 artillery crew figures.

And I was unsure where i'd put my Leopold!

Not to take anything from thread, but always wondered what the receiving end

from one of the mega guns looked like...

There’s a scary thought that I hadn’t considered…probably looked a lot like hell on earth after one of those rounds dropped
