Mark,

I guess if I am considered one of those "icon geniuses" you speak of, you wouldn't have a pic of the turret would ya..."P 1000 turret ended up at coastal defence battery (Batterie Oerlander) near Trondheim, Norway."? Because evidently that actually was built, by my understand of that statement?

The book "My War is Tank" has a three view of this and other bits of WWII fantasy kit.

Re: P-1000 Ratte WIP
 

Mark, you are a bit off with your dimensions there, its much larger than that. This thing is HUGE!!!!! Its literally a land battleship..lol

dimensions in pixels at the scale of 1 pixel is 6".

length: 229
width: 92

Sorry - it's a library book and my scanner is trashed. You are right though, this thing is a monster.

Gotcha!

Currently it's Battery Örlandet museum, near Trondheim, but the turret isn't from Ratte, it's Caesar turret from Gniesenau with three 280's. Still, the turret should look the same http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I'll be damned, I found it on Google Maps!

I actually did a Battery Örlandet icon, and when I was done with it, I went...

"Hey, won't this work with Ratte? All I need to do is delete the center gun!"

Mark, you are a bit off with your dimensions there, its much larger than that.

I was actually going with SPCAMO hex-widths = 50m; e.g, this thing is BIG enough to actually be correct scale for the 50m hexes.
