Hi Again Chris ,what I mentioned by rubbish was without sunlight there's not enough light to photograph them .
Yes Dora was the biggest gun made by any nation during the war, and she needed over one thousand personal to get her set up and ready to fire.
Will post more pics tonight with dimensions of models.
