Progress so far:

Gonna need a bigger war-games table

That looks like a godawful amount of detailing required. I'll check back in a year once you've finished the engine room.

I've seen on in 1/35th, but none in a suitable 28mm scale, nor with an interior. I suppose this is for tournament play? "Bang, oh, sorry mate, but there goes 750 points of infantry. Your turn to shoot".

[Rich H]

Externally its pretty boring.  The interior it also going to be pretty plain.  Thinking bunker or battleship.

[Vanvlak]

Good grief. I knew it was big, but that Churchill parked on it certainly puts things in perspective!
I have to ask: what sort of storage do you have, a warehouse? 

[Rich H]

I've not really thoughts about that - ignoring it for now

Need to sell some of my other crap...

Forget the Churchill, it's the scaling effect of the washing machine that boggles the mind. Ask your missus if she really needs a tumble dryer. 

You realise that you have now officially slid into lunacy and you are well on the way to building a 1/56 Gneisenau? Hopefully you have an Olympic sized swimming pool.

That is the new wargames table.

So will you running games inside it?

Good grief, I hadn't noticed that! Gulp!

[Rich H]

Yep that ruler at the front is 24"

[Rich H]

Oh and Ive got a 1/48 scale viii uboat of that helps?

Blimey....
Does that fit in the bath tub?
Seriously, you should open a small museum and get people to pay to see your stuff! I would.

But I bet you are now thinking, "hmmm, model of the Gneisenau, that is a good idea".

So how are you going to distribute the secondary armament?

Once finished you will need to find a 40K player with a Baneblade for a comparison shot.

[Ballardian]

A beautifully barmy project  - how about a couple of PzIII munitionschleppers to go with it (I'm sure they could carry a couple of 11" shells apiece - & a line of supply trucks, mechanics & general gawpers).

[Rich H]

Secondary armament will be a 128mm in a flexible mount in the turret, 2x MG-15s in the front glacis plate and 2 quad 20mm flak turrets on the rear deck.

I've a pic of the Churchill in the engine bay I'll find that.

PzIII munitionspanzers would be good, there is hangerage for a couple of BMW bikes in the rear too.  About 75 SDKFZ-9s to tow it perhaps?
