well a Maus model would be awesome I'd preorder one straight away :mrgreen:

a more personal and realistic option would be any of the following :)

an SU85
a T54/55 (or type59 same tank really)
a PZII
and the would buy straight away ... an STRV103
I'm going to ask forgiveness ahead of time; I don't normally post things not 1/6 and not Armortek, but in the interest of illustration.....

You guys really don't know what you'd be getting yourself in for if there ever was a 1/6 scale Maus readily available.

For comparison here is my 1/10 scale Maus next to my Armortek M2 and Sd.Kfz. 7 and for real grins along side is a 1/10
scale Pz I.

Even in the relatively small 1/10 scale the Maus is ungainly and unfinished weighs around 54-55 kg.

I can't imagine what one would weigh using relatively scale thickness plates and 40% larger. I believe Kian said the size of the plates
required would surpass their machining centers' capacity.

I'm glad I have this one and an E100 as well but these are large enough...although if 1/6 Maus or E100 came available I'd be compelled to 'rescue' it....
