Its Peter Shaws 1/6 Scale Dora Build the German Rail Gun
Very Impressive and I think it will take a weekend out of my Comet
Build to go back and look at all the Photo's in the gallery properly
AND IT TOOK 4 1/2 Months to build
The First Link will lead you to a front page which is very interesting to
read before going to the link on that page to his massive photo Gallery
www.vonabt.co.uk/models/Dora/DoraBuild.htm
The second Link will take you straight to the Gallery

I had glimpsed some earlier photos of this Dora model but now it looks as though it is finished - a magnificent achievement.
If you Google "William Terra" you will come up with several sites but this one has the most photos: http://www.bismarck-class.dk/shipmodels ... terra.html
This is also a very inspirational model and has set me thinking about a 1/20th scale Hood. Has anyone any experience of naval modelling at that scale in the UK?
The Hood's hull is much simpler than the Yamato and not much shorter. The superstructure is a great deal simpler too.

Hello Chaps
That brings back memories. Going to Peters every month so we can run our tanks around his 1/6th scale village and haveing a good laugh. As Peter said it kept the weeds Down.
