One shell being loaded, 15 to go. Robin.

great pic Robin...

does that tank really carry a 15 round load in real life?

I can't imagine where they could actually fit in there

Only 18 tanks produced, plus one proto type in real life, 19 total. Actual shell carry racks held 12, plus one on the loading tray, behind one in the breach ready for firing, so total shells carried 14. Capable of penetrating 98 inches of concrete, what a devastating fire power. Used in Warsaw, battle of the Bulge and defending German cities in 1945. 6 tons heavier than a Tiger tank on the same chassis. A giant pillbox on wheels, one of my favourite tanks. Thanks for commenting Mike. Robin.

good Lord!!!

that thing is a rolling time bomb...

wonder if a good enemy hit would discharge his whole ammo supply?

WOW!!!! I just spent over two hours cruising through your collection and it was not enough time. Fantastic dioramas and you have great talent for thinking them up and displaying them. My wife always thinks I am looking at other " pictures" on the interweb and I am not sure what she thinks when she looks over my shoulder and it really is historical miniatures. Thank you for taking the time to photograph and share your collection. Dan.

Robin...love your church scene...both the interior and exterior...great set up!

Absolutely brilliant Robin! I love that church and it's perfect for the medical casualty station. I love the shot showing the nurses, wounded and troops through the main door and those two ambulances, medical sidecar and medical kubelwagon look great together!

It's easy Tom when you have access to some nice TS's thanks to Andy. Really been hanging out for this medical series, inspired by Generation War DVD which I have. Had this church for 6 years and has come in handy over the years, but only saw as an aid station in last month and finally found time to do a setup that has turned out as I imagined. Great to hear from you. Robin.
