How big (length and width) is the hull of BRV6, the A9 Mk1 Cruiser tank?
I need to build a 2mm scale BIG armoured vehicle - rather reminiscent of the old Steve Jackson Games "Ogre" vehicles - and I'm hoping that the tracks and hull of the A9 would be a good starting point, what with the small MG turrets.
Admittedly I'd have to bodge scratch-build something up top, probably radar or comms equipment etc, but I'm hoping the A9 hull would be a good start.
I have, of course, already checked the newly released Pendraken sci-fi vehicles, but sadly they don't have the "look" I'm after. ☹️
Thanks in anticipation. Cheers,
Geoff

Apologies for the delay on this, we didn't have one cast so needed the guys to spin it up. The hull is coming in at approx 39mm length and 17mm width.

Would the T35 work?
Good call. There's also the T28.

If that's an Ogre, I'd look at French WWI tanks too.

You have to love Pendraken service =D> =D> =D>
Thanks chaps. 👏👏
My 2mm sci-fi forces are on 25mm square bases, so I needed an Ogre type vehicle that fits on a base 25mm wide and 50mm deep. The original SJG Ogre is meant to be a huge "cyber-tank" but I just need something that's suitably much bigger than all the other vehicles. The A9 Mk1 Cruiser will be just right (thank you Leon), although I'll probably have to add some plastic card "skirts" to cover the wheels.
I now need to work on my next order - hopefully to collect at Partisan in Newark next month.
Thanks again,
Geoff 😉

Excellent, sounds a plan!
