Has anyone here bought the Landkreuzer that FiB have just released?

If so is it up to their usual quality?

Worth £95.00 GBP?

How much can the main gun depress? I don't see how this thing can plausibly engage with targets that are less than a scale mile or two away ?

Maybe it can be used as a moving fortress or objective…. with all the helpful ladders on its sides and back, this behemoth is calling out to be close-assaulted.

I was just thinking of it as a table piece, I cant think of any rules set that would allow it short of a 15mm RPG/skirmish over it.

Think I'm gonna have to invest. Reckon it would cost much to have someone paint it? My painting abilities aint that great.

"If only that was in 28mm"

Maybe you could kit-bash one, using a Fiat 500 as a starting point.

Get about 400 kilos of green stuff, buy a little Stuart light tank, get to work…

A 1/35 Neubaufahrzeug might be a good base for a 15mm kitbash.

Just mod the 1/35 hatches and add some 15mm Wirbelwind turrets and ladders!

$179 USD including shipping to the U.S. I want one, but…ouch.

uberbyford Inactive Member27 Jun 2012 5:23 p.m. PST

I dunno whether I should get it or not. Its epic and I really want it…but a weeks wages…

Then again it does take a month to arrive…

IIRC, there will be a 6mm version … which would work of me and others I'm sure. A 6mm Panzer VII Lowe/Lion should be done too …

I'm also awaiting the 6mm version (although some are available via Shapeways too).

Yeah I'm waiting on SBminisguy to do his version – TMP link
