Considering the price of a FW Earthshaker battery, I'm looking at historical miniatures as a stand in. I'm struggling to find a good size comparison, but it seems the best fit would be a 1:35 or 1:48 flak 88.

I've also found this: http://trenchworx.com/product/15cm-sfh18-howitzer/

Does anyone know the relative size of this model? A picture of it, or any other appropriate model, next to a 28mm infantry or just a scale would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

The miniature is 28mm (the default scale for all trenchworx stuff, although apparently they'll rescale on demand for customers), so just google images of the real howitzer.

Looks to me like a reasonable size match for the Earthshaker.

I used the 88 from the toy factory after I saw this post:

I used a Basilisk. [img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/5/13/612631_sm-Apocalypse%2C%20Armor%2C%20Army%2C%20Artillery%2C%20Astra%20Militarum%2C%20Guard%2C%20I.g.%2C%20Infantry.JPG" border="0" />
