The Aliens APC was a modified version of this I believe, well the version of this with the full width cab.

Found one

That's pretty cool, and I can't wait to see the end product. But it sure looks strange in the front and back views. Those sponsons stick out so far that if too many crew members were on one side, it looks like the tank would tip over!

Hi Mancha

I don't think it would have tipped over as it was supposed to weigh 150 tons

probably sank into the mud though

Here's another plan with the crew marked on

Wow, that's a lot of crew!

Landpanzerschiffe for the win!

Looking forward to seeing that come through. I had done some cardboard templates for a K-Wagen some years ago, but before I could actually start work, I a) somehow got out of WW1 gaming and b) realized how many rivets I would have to cut and glue for that beastie...

I've harboured an idle fantasy of owning one of these for a while. You can get kits in 1/72 and 1/35 (see below), but as far as I know, nobody makes one that would go with 28mm figures. So I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Good luck!

I count 25 crew positions in that diagram!

Kolossal indeed. Looking forward to seeing this progress!

Love the project, Keith.

This is one of the vehicles I've -dreamed- about having available with my company, but I'm terrified of the thought of the cost of all that resin... this would be one expensive model, I suspect! Good to see somebody scratchbuilding it.

God I would hate to be a crew member on that thaing, permanet hearing damage.

Good luck Keith with this project.

This is what i've done so far:

I found some more pictures on the landships forum so i have a better idea of wht the front would have looked like
