I'd say 1/12, but unfortunately I don't have a mantel!

I think 1:16 scale would be great. I did a lot of research once on this and did determine it was a museum scale. Leif also has information on this scale. I like the reference materials you have and would hate to see you dumb it down. Make it detailed. You have the references. Go for it.

I did read it. At the end you asked again what scale we would like to see it in. Just adding my 2 cents. Sorry

yes...I agree...1/16 scale is the most likely candidate.

but the other consideration was 1/12, for those who keep asking for bigger.
Only issue with 1/12, is I can't get some parts (like the Main Chassis Frame Rails)
on a standard Letter or A4 page...those parts would have to be split.

...
I'm not rushing this project...I have yet to start.
In fact, I am waiting on two people now who are helping me gather some reference material.
Since i am no expert (or amateur) when it comes to WW1 Armoured Cars, I need all the
reference material I can find!
