Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Part 1 of this thread, hopefully, Part2 will be equally as popular...
The premise for Part 2 is pretty much the same as that for Part 1 in so much as the idea is for folks to come up with concepts for realistic alternative-history-AFVs.
Given that I am currently building a 1/35 scale Landkreuzer P.1000 Ratte, I will remove my original caveat which said that I am not looking for the loony nazi-like ideas of sticking battleship turrets on monstrous tracked movers! However, I am still very much looking for believable developments, variants or new designs that would support some of the excellent TLs in this forum or indeed any other AH TL.
Pretty much anything is fair game, except that ideas should be justified with suitable developmental lines/back stories and be within the bounds of practicality and the laws of physics - turret ring sizes are usually a good limiting factor for AFVs - so no fitting Panther turrets onto Mk1 Panzers please!!!
My ultimate aim is still to build some of your ideas in 1:35 scale, if possible, but if there are any other modellers out there or CGI Gurus or line drawing Ninjas please feel free to post your work.
Although coming to its natural life-ex, if you are interested in Part1, you can still find it and all of its excellent references at this link:
