Building the Takom P1000 RAT 1000 ton super heavy tank [ German what if project .] 

i learned that his shop was down the street from my condo the other day, i walked in earlier today and got to meet Andy and pick up some real supplies no more hobby lobby!

The little maus is so cute

Lol, camo on a P1000 seems redundant. I really enjoy your content. Thanks for uploading.

I'm really enjoying these 'What If' Vehicles and think it an awesome topic to approach for Modeling companies, I would love to see you do the Maus V2 Takom (1/35) though

Thank you for building this kit. and also thank you for always inspiring video of modelling!

Good advice on how to fix the tracks the right way, was about to give up until I saw this video. Thank you!

I am in the process of building this same kit and was running into an issue with the look of the tracks not fitting right until I stumbled upon your informative video... thanks it helped me to fix my issue.... great videos!!!!

congrats on 30k andy! great videos. i love all of them, theyvreally got me inspired to tackle more complex kits and i have done really well following ur advice. hope to see more on the future!

Another excellent video and build as usual, thanks Andy!

Yes. The camo pattern looks awesome.

Love the camo. Superb job!

Love the camouflage! I might try this on a maus tank 1/56 scale for boltaction game. Thanks!

awesome model. really enjoy your videos.

as always awesome build.

Congrats on the new subscriber numbers! Well deserved. Looking forward to your next builds.

another great build mate

This tank concept is fxxking crazy

Congrats andy! Keep em kits coming!

You're a great lad Andy, love your vids :)

Love the PE railings interesting kit.

your building and painting technics are awesome that tank looks like it was bought of a shelf in a store that's how good it is

Great job :)

wow thats the coolest tank that i ever seen on your channel

that camouflage is so nice....

Aw they had this on the shelf at hobby place at ace here in Tucson last time I was there. I almost bought it, but I decided on a Takom king tiger full interior (lol which I still haven’t finished).

nice work

that will be crazy

what a huge tank!

Nice kit. Like to see more on late war German camo patterns.

This is my new favourite channel! I'm not even a model builder and I love it! Keep up the great videos and I hope you have a great day :)

Great video Andy and a great model for sure. That thing is huge and considering it is in 144 scale, it would have been 4 foot long in 1/35th scale!!!! Great build and painting as always. Have fun Andy, Joe

nice it look so cool

thank you for charing with us Andy!!your new name is Andy's tank factory😁

Interesting three tone scheme. Nice work

Brilliant been waiting for this video well done good job

Andy, you have deserved 30,000 subscribers and even more!

Really cool stuff. Good job as usual. I like these "paper panzer" ideas. The only limit is your imagination and your wallet.

Very good tank!)))

They had a large scale model of it in Bovington Tank Museum when I was there a few years ago.

I was about to go to sleep but then the notification came and I was like " eh what the hell " so very exited that you built this model these are very rare to find like Maus tanks E100 tanks and more this model is very easy and its perfect for starters I wanna built it so bad think I will buy it but concerned about space as always great job and congratulations for 30.000 subs keep it up !

Nice 👍

😂😂This kit, so big omg.Well done Andy.

Actually I really like that paint scheme!!! Thought the grey gave the turret a real naval look but the red oxide is cool too!

Hello Andy, installing those tracks was still a pain in the butt. I got them installed but I am thinking they should have just used the rubber band style tracks. I had to use a touch of super glue to get the track links to properly adhere to the curves of the wheels.

AMAZING!!!

Wow! This is my favorite video by you! You r sooo cool!!! I love your channel!!!

That is cool

Cool to be one of your subscribers, dear Andy!!!!!

One day I’ll make it up to Phx and visit your shop. Im stoked I can go visit and supportsomewhere I see on youtube!

I cant wait to get this

Much better the second colour on the turret 👍🏻

Well... now you are just one step away from painting some Warhammer 40k supervehicles :-) Nice job, I enjoy watching your videos so much!

This is just a crazy build, let's get back to WW2, thax from a great follower.

Man, the RATTE's road wheels are the height of the Maus' hull!

GOOD JOB ANDY

The red brown looks much better, you did a great job Andy

congrads on 30k, bud.

I would love this in 1/48

I love kits with lots of parts

Fascinating piece of could have been history. I wonder how they were going to get it to the battlefront at 45 ft wide or across any bridge at 1000T

30 000 my god I remember when there was only 50 and less man this chanel has exploded

hahaha nice intro :D well done nice build love it !

Very nice

Dunno how I missed this one before. Kool subject. It's large enough to have grown some actual trees on it and maybe a garden on the roof.

These video of futuristic weapons is great...you do a great job of presenting the build and your general experience in model building is really appreciated. The P1000 Rat is a great model but I do not like the scale!! Humbug why not make it in 1/35th, I know it would be big but it would be a great subject! Thanks for all your efforts and work in these videos, you do a great job.

30k subs that's amazing, congrats!

Andy, Congrats to 30k Subs. Great Build. Greetings from Germany.

great channel andy

I was thinking of the panther and tiger track links you showed in one of your videos and i just couldnt help but imagining the size and weight of those track links it would’ve used

Nice kit. Thanks for the video Andy. That tank might look great with 1/444 Gundams. Oh! Congratulations on 30,000 subs.

Help! I can't stop watching.

Nice :D

Great job on these videos, Andy. Thoroughly enjoy them and learn a LOT of great hints and techniques from you. You make modeling fun and don't make a science fair project out of the detailing. A couple short questions. 1) Where can I get the S & J buffing powder? 2) Can we order stuff from you over the internet? Thanks in advance and keep up the superior work!

I would like to see you paint more Gundam kits.... please do so. ...

Damn, I need myself this kit!

Interesting subject. Really would be surprised though for the need to camo it as not like you could REALLY hide it behind some bushes or trees like a typical tank.

wow

Gotta make that after my tiger 1

Real land cruiser.

Thats not bad

What an awesome 'land ship' this could've been but it would've been an easy target for allied bombers . great paintwork Andy

Wao

There’s a fantastically stupid 1/72 scale version on this tank, it’s a weirdly fun kit to build (aside from the tracks) that dwarfs everything in my collection

GRATS on reaching over 30k subs!

Love the fact there is a camouflage scheme at all for this! Where would you hide it?!

Good stuff dude ;-) best wishes from Germany

The side-by-side comparison with the little maus gives you a pretty good idea how big this monster was or would have been I mean the road wheels alone we're about 4 ft in diameter, Albert Speer cancel the project before it even begun probably thinking no way no how😁

it would be very interesting to see a video of the dragon 1/35 Maus

Hey Andy, I was wondering if you could tell me what your next model build is going to be because I would like to purchase it so I can follow your tips and see how close I can get to yours. Keep up the good work, kind regards from Switzerland

I can imagine the RAF having a field day on that thing. Probably wouldn't even need bomb sights lol.

you should make a long video for beginners going over every step in modeling highlighting dos and donts and just providing tips and insight

The turret was from the gneisenau wich was a battleship And the mouse weight 188 tons Amazing video

I cant even imagine someone trying to make a 1/6 scale RC version of this tank. If they do and succeed in doing so you might as well registered licensed and road legal.

Andy grew four hands at 30k subs. 6:24 Great job Andy keep making those model kits!

I'll wait for the 1/35 kit. Should be about a foot and a half by two feet.

Id like to hear some backgroundmusik in the time lapse :D

love the videos could you build a T-14, Challenger 2, CV90 IFV or the PzH2000?

good, but you could have made some akcents on some smal parts like the ladder

very nice. I didnt see any maus turrets on the ratte tho.

can you build some modern swedish armour like the CV 90 or the STRV 122? it would be really awesome to see how you paint and wheatring
