Wow that’s a very impressive bit of steel bending.
I didn’t realise that was how the turret sides were formed full scale, Armortek use a similar process to form their tiger turrets it’s just 1/6 the size.

That's the best tiger manufacturing photo I've seen, its always fascinating to see how the beasts were put together. Those guys must be manhandling the steel once in the press, maybe 4 tons or so but on pivot.

Brilliant photo, look at the control box and the heavy cable, now was the 1/1 Maus going to be electric drive? Ive never seen this photo before, I think the guys watching should be on their bellies to get a better perspective.
I wonder what ever happened to the model.

Thanks for posting Brian.

Thanks guys! Some inspiring stuff for sure. A rail car kit would be great. Maybe an Armortek locomotive?
