Hello Gentlemen, I Have a sort of Pimp my ride thing here of sorts, it was posted to one of my older threads, by Aircav, so here it is (See below):
What I would like to do here, is according to the post, there is much work that needs to be done to make it an accurate represntation. please look at the photo provided, post on how this model could be reworked for better accuracy.
Thanks, Josh

There's a 25mm one from HLBS, needs a bit of work though.

Well, the first thing you'd want to do is change the size of everything! According to their site map, they do not do 25mm. Their artillery is 28mm scale.

Which is fine if you work in 28mm scale (and I will make some changes to the relevant articles on Landships2) but from your previous posts I can see that you are working in 1/72.

There is quite a noticeable difference between 28mm (1/56 or 1/64 ish, depending on who you read) and 1/72:

The big bertha from HLbs is on the small side really so i would say that it was 25mm
Heres the pictures of mine:









I will try to get a picture with some miniatures to show the size
