Karl Mörser - 1/6th Scale!

#1

Post by tiger1john » 22 Mar 2007, 22:09

The mighty 124 ton Karl Mörser - guaranteed to strike fear into the hearts of the enemy. Firing a massive 60 cm 2 ton shell up to 4 km, it was capable of piercing a 3 meter thick reinforced concrete bunker. This diorama sees one such beast, "Ziu", being prepared for a fire mission on the Eastern front.

Great photos and stunning dio - who can claim that 1/6 scale is toys, considering the quality of the work displayed by KG von Abt?

1/6 scale models rock! How much did the set-up cost you (if you don't mind me asking)? Great link by the way!
