Oh man! That looks so cool!

Especially the picture of the whole Ogre family!

Actually, that's the only model that doesn't look too silly IMHO. I really
like all the pictures of it I could find. But..., how big is it (in inches,
cm, mm)? I haven't seen any size comparisons of it and a normal tank.

Ok, this one helps. so the thing is between 8 and 10 cm or so.
That would make it (1/300) slightly less than 30m.

I thought that Ogres were humongous, like 50 to 100m?

At least it is a nice model. I'll try and pick one up somewhere.

Bedankt,
