I recently saw a home-made Capitol Imperialis around here somewhere and it got me thinkin of making my own. I have a butt-load of 1/72 scale tank chassis and think i will use one as a basis. But, i would like to know if anyone has and/or can measure the length of the actual models wheelbase from the front to the back so that i can choose a model of mine that is similarly sized. |

The original CI chassis is 2 3/8" (6.1 cms) long and 1 3/8" (3.5 cms) wide. |

Sadly, Dwarf Supreme knew that from memory. |

the old chassis actually was taken from a 1/72 M113 model. The exact model could still be found. But it was very under scaled and the tracks didn't have much details anyway. |

6.1 cm? I'd assumed 12cm to go with the art and DC12. that said, by the art, titans can look over mountain ranges... |

The art has always been wildly inconsistent, but anyway this is mostly due to the fact that Super Heavies miniatures were always very under-scaled at that time. |

A truescale CI would be... a bit taller than the shorter buildings in this picture, I guess. ![]() |
