Subject: Oversize tanks

I have been looking for some cool smaller tanks for my Galactic stuff
to kitbask. A while back I had seen some 1/144 scale WW2 kits from
Dragon and having always liked the German E-100 I ordered a couple.
Needless to say, these will work great for what I am wanting to do and
they are perfect for 101 - 200 ton Btech tanks and DS2 oversize tanks.
Below I have a Btech Manticore to give you some scale, along with the
1/144 Tiger tank chassis and a 1/285 E-100 from GHQ which I will use for
my 50-60 ton tank

Ogre and battledroids(Old BT) tanks are large and easily oversized. :->

Some of the MechWarrior: Dark Ages stuff might work as well:

With a few minor changes these work as 15mm light tanks......)
