The Ratte

Quote from: Wiki Ratte
The Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte (lit.: Land Cruiser P. 1000 "Rat") was a design for a super-heavy tank for use by Nazi Germany during World War II. It was designed in 1942 by Krupp with the approval of Adolf Hitler, but the project was canceled by Albert Speer in early 1943 and no tank was ever completed. At 1,000 metric tons, the P-1000 would have been over five times as heavy as the Panzer VIII Maus, the heaviest tank ever built.

I really wanted to build this thing, so I did...

Nice job, I want one in my armor forces.  There is a 1/285 scale on Shapeways that just might work.

Took me a while and I got a Ratte. I tried to modify it and put a (RAM missle launcher) on it.

Figure a more modern update would be better for the tank.
