K-Wagen (15mm and 6mm)
« on: 22 November 2016, 06:31:45 AM »


Here's my latest model at Shapeways — the German K-Wagen super-heavy tank of 1918.

It was a real monster, thirteen metres long and carrying a crew of 26. It never made it into action, but it only just missed out when the war ended in November 1918.

It's available at http://shpws.me/MXQh. Unfortunately, being a big vehicle means that it's a big model with a big price. Alas, there's nothing much I can do about that except complain endlessly.

Very nice. It would be good to get it in 28mm  :)

Er.... I'm sure it would be nice to have it in 28mm, but it certainly wouldn't be nice to pay for it in 28mm. The price would roughly quadruple over the 15mm version  :?

I was just idly scrolling through my Shapeways stuff, and I notice that for some reason they've defaulted the initial view of the K-Wagen to the FUD version instead of the WSF one. Somebody's been messing around with their systems again, I suspect.

I seem to recall someone using one during one of the Scarab gaming days. Was this it or was it a card model someone brought?

It would be around the size of a house brick. (43 foot long, around 11 inches for 1/48!)

Lovely looking piece of work Fitz!

I've re-scaled my model of the K-Wagen to 1:285 for use in 6mm games.

It's available as a single model or as a 3-up sprue.

This would be a real monster on the wargames table; it's about 47mm long and 25mm across the beam. That would make it even more massive than the Soviet WWII T-35.
