Building a Mid-Production Normandy Tiger 1

How does one go about calculating scale weight? Just how much should a 1/16th Tiger weigh if it were to reflect a proper accurate weight?

Merely for educational purposes....

Sov,
3.5 tons, roughly. *chuckles* Good Luck! I am sure that it is doable. Mini fusion reactor for power and condensed molecular metal ( Adamantium ?) for the armor and running gear and Bob's your Uncle as you guys like to say. ;o) Following along!

Scale weight real weight divided by scale cubed.

So a tiger would be 54000/16^3 which comes out as 13.2kg

So our tanks are probably about half scale weight.

Tom!,
I stand corrected. I hate Math! ( That's why Geology was my major ) *chuckles* Doesn't a fully dressed out Tiger 1 go at 57 tons tho' with combat tracks? Or are you figuring in Imperial measures?

I used the first weight google gave! I stand corrected.

Tom,
Stand you for a pint the next time I visit. *bows*

13.9kg sounds more reasonable. That's fully do-able.

(30.64 Lbs)

A full metal tank may already weight near that...

A 1/16 100% metal Tiger 1 tank weighs in at 8kg

Including all electronics? Might have to go to the tackle shop and buy some lead weights...

Yep, without battery though....
