Malcador tank dimensions

[Panzertruppe]

Hi
I found information, that Malcdador tank is in lore 960 cm long - is this with trench rails or only hassis? I don't have any model of this tank yet to measure it and recalcilate dimensions, but I'm preparing informations for future project- upscaling wh minis and models to 1:35 scale and Malcador or Valdor are in my plans...

I don't know for sure, but I'd guess the measurement was from the front-most point of the chassis to the rear-most point (this is purely based on the assumption that trench rails would be removable and thus not included in the measurement).

I'll help out with this as it's something I've done before for my writing.

 

I'll take a pic of one of my Malcadors and stand a standard Cadian next to it. 

 

Throw the pic into some image analysis software and tell it to assume the guardsman is, say, 1.85m tall. Het it to apply dimension arrows. Refine raw image with highlights if you want it to pay attention areas on the model. Shoot again from the other side, back, front and top. Rinse and repeat.

 

Having worked it backward from the sizes given to the original 1.85m, it does a good job. However, if you're printing, it might be helpful as a guide with the real work done manually.

Righto, My software, even when combined with AI, is having a bit of a moment so I am not trusting its ability to estimate. Might be to do with the camera I am using, lighting or something. I'll be happy to give you actual measurements later this afternoon once I've got home from work.
