I have been searching for model kits or any ideas/inspiration for building the DKoK Heavy Mortar http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/heavymort.htm seen here. I am looking obviously for a cheaper or more easily obtained option

But have been coming up empty for easy solutions. Any ideas?

thanks in advance

You would probably have to extend the barrel or something.

1/35 or 1/48 scale artillery models are another option.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/223753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/223753.page GMT Re:Alternatives for the DKoK Heavy Mortar FLGS, that model would be just fine... I wouldn't even bother with lengthening the barrel.

Of course, you couldn't get away with it at a GW store, or tourney that allows DKoK... but you probably knew that, anyway.

Since a tournament in the US is unlikely to allow FW as anything but 'counts as', I wouldn't worry about it.

WS: did you want to go for the mortar effect, or would some kind of other heavy artillery (rocket launcher for example) fit the bill? Some of the Armorcast stuff, while cartoonish, might work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/223796.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/223796.page GMT Alternatives for the DKoK Heavy Mortar http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/223798.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/223798.page GMT Alternatives for the DKoK Heavy Mortar

For most of the tournaments, you're right.
IIRC, The Adepticon Iron Man, however, does allow Forgeworld models & rules, but only if you have the actual Forgeworld model.

This [/url=http://www.megahobby.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2443]is the cheapest 1/35 model kit I found. Also this

You may also want to consider toys. While there's a lot of chaff there is still some wheat to be found...

This is completely off topic, but I had no idea Armorcast was still in business! Have I just been twisted by Forgeworld's insane prices or is their scenery actually a good value for the price?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/224751.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/224751.page GMT Alternatives for the DKoK Heavy Mortar http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/225137.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/225137.page GMT Alternatives for the DKoK Heavy Mortar
Links fixed. Sorry. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/225525.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/225525.page GMT Alternatives for the DKoK Heavy Mortar This is 1/144 scale, but it's the right shape and idea. Could be okay size-wise.
Dimensions of the real deal. Unless my math is off (wholly likely), the 1/144 would be around 3x.8x.7"...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/225526.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/206454/225526.page GMT
