Blaubar Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Quite a big bugger that Tortoise and your model is looking great. Like the Maus, the name does not correlate with its size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's width is as impressive as its height,shame it did not see any action,would have been interesting Thanks.Would like to see the real deal in the museum,just a bit to far for me Cheers.

Triumph Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Hi Jim. Got to see the real thing at the bovington tank museum's "Talkfest" day. It would seem that if indeed this had made it into the war, not to sure how successful it would have been. It was so heavy down to its armour it was very slow and unreliable. They only just got this one running to do one lap of the ring before yes you guessed it, it broke down. Great job on your build.
