Nicodemus’ Musings on the Nature of Doom Engines.

Taking measurements from reference photos requires some planning and lots of corrections. Even with the best methods there needs to be multiple points of internal reference to get the best results. Fortunately we know exactly what kits were used for many of the parts and some of the photos even show miniatures on standard sized bases, making it trivial to measure. Unfortunately getting exact reference measurements for the Warhammer Siege Tower isn’t possible without the actual kit as the size doesn’t seem to be recorded anywhere online that I could find. Nevertheless, https://minicompare.info/ remains a highly useful tool during the long dark hours of the night!!
Here’s the work-in-progress pictures and the final results in the event anyone would like a workable template for getting started:
And if these designs weren’t your cup of tea I will leave you with this:
