Sturer Emil

[Rich H]

If a Nashorn's 88 just doesn't cut it... How about 128mm?
Sturer Emil (Max or Moritz?) Nearly ready for duty

[Rich H]

Very nearly done... Just the access ladder to do
This was a lot more complex than I expected!

Around 2500 seperate bodies went into it!

Hopefully on the printer tonight...

[Rich H]

I'm not sure if there were differences between Max and Moritz but they lost the dummy drivers cab at some point and there are pics of various amounts of track stowage.  I'll work something out. Obviously I'll do both

In Bolt Action it's basically a Nashorn with bigger gun.
The Pak44 is 10 points more than the Pak43 so applying the same logic it'll jelust be 10 points more.  72" range and damages a Sherman at 72" on a 2+

Wow - That is a big gun I checked the scale and it's correct!
Panzer IV hull for scale

[Rich H]

Made some changes and reprinted. 

I lopped the outside wheels off so they could be printed seperately to ensure they were round!  Also relaxed the tolerances and the original was a bit tight in places. 

Need to work out what colour to paint it next...

It is a big boy!

What hull where these built on? I’d assumed PzIV, but that was clearly wrong!

[Rich H]

The failed Vk30.01 tank chassis. 
They lopped the end off, extended it and added at least one roadwheel. 

I've a couple of examples nearly ready. I'll far some pics with other tanks for scale.  Suffice to say it's a massive beast. 

Bear in mind it had a longer version of the Jadgtiger gun!

[Vanvlak]

That's one superb looking beastie - well worth the incredible amount of effort 

[Rich H]

Size comparison

[Tim Haslam]

Superb, as usual.

[Rich H]

May have got carried away again

[Shahbahraz]

You say carried away, I say inspired. That's superb, and will the STL be available for sale?

I can't see me using one in a game, unless an immobilised one as an objective, but for the sake of completeness... 

I may also have to investigate a printer with a larger build plate for that gun barrel!

[Rich H]

It's in bits
The kit consists of hull, casemate, gun barrel, gun mount/breech, exhaust and rear steps. 

Print the hull nose up then the exhaust, casemate overhang and steps cover any support scars.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Another nice model.
