Seen it IRL on different Gamesdays, it's not really that big I must say but it's cool. Moving turrets, driving around crossing quite steep bumbs all in all pretty fun.

I have also seen it, but I do not believe it really is 1/6 scale, that would make it a pimped leman russ

If that is really 1/6 scale, then the specifications for a canonical Baneblade would be roughly 45 feet long, 28 wide, and 21 feet tall.

Doesn't look right, to me

I am impressed, very, despite a certain lack of enthusiasm to do with my tiredness.
It probably is 45' by 28' by 21'.
Think, if a marine ir roughl7 7 feet tall, you could quite easily put 6 and a half marines head-to-toe besides that baneblade, or 3 high or probably 4 wide.
Yay, I can do math.

Haha, that be cool Maybe we should ask the maker of the Leopard 2 tank to make a version of that haha But it would require a lot of craftmanship and a fancy 'railgun' that they are developing in Germany also

Still it's all imagination I suppose, I wouldn't mind that 1/6th scale model

Well, I have always wanrted to design and make a working scale model of a tank...though it would be 5 years off at the closest, and i find the challenger 2 tank to be the sexiest in the world, beating the baneblade hands down for looks. But probably not for power if anyone made challenger rules for 40K
