Is it the baneblade? was looking for something bigger, but all i can find is the gorgon transport, which seems to trades width for height.

Is there anything bigger available?

Thanks in advance!

What about a 1:16 scale tank.
A challenger would be great.
Heng Long make some good big RC ones for a decent price.

Ork aircraft carrier battlefortress. Long way down the line yet, I'm just trying to find out how feasible my plans are.

Buying 2 Baneblades would not be cheap :( but barring a couple of Forgeworld oddities (super expensive), the Baneblade is the largest GW chassis, I think

Something like Tamiya's 1:16 Tiger perhaps? http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/36203tiger/tiger.htm - 530mm long. But again could be very expensive given you only need the lower hull.

It's worth checking out your local toy shop - there are a few ginormous toy tanks around.

Or be brave and scratch-build - ork vehicles are _relatively_ easy...

Hobbyboss do a 1/16 Tiger. Should be able to get one for around the price of a Baneblade...

G.I. Joe MOBAT? I think that they have just reissued it, and it's powered. For some reason I remember that being bigish. Come to think of it some of the old Joe stuff could be used as a base pretty easy.

I think White Dwarf once had templates for scratch building a baneblade in 40k, which could be used as inspiration for something even bigger.

indeed, you could also just buy a gak ton of garbage 40k second hand models or better yet some big tonka toys from yard sales and stuff. though the lather you need to be mindful of the kinds of plastic its made of.

polypropalyne will give you a bad time. go for ABS or styrine if they some how are made of it.

I'd definitely lean toward trying to find a large GI Joe vehicle or similar to start with, particularly if the rest will be over-shadowed by the carrier deck.

Shame you can't buy the old Mobile Command Center anymore...

SoCal, USA!

For conversion work off existing tracks, Baneblade is your best answer.

If you can't do something with multiple Baneblades, then you'll have to scratch build.

Note that you could use Baneblades and mount a giant WW2 railway-type gun between them...

Holy moly that's a lot of options! I'm gonna have to do some measuring to decide how big I actually want to go with this....
Thanks for all the ideas people
