My first printing and painting for 2019 are these three Panzer 1B, plus a Befehlspanzer 1B.
The models are, I believe, by TigerAce1945, on Thingiverse. They printed OK, but the wheels could do with a bit of attention — I notice that the vertical spokes didn't print at all, and need to be beefed up a bit.
I have another three of them, and another Befehlspanzer with a frame antenna, awaiting paint on my workbench. Whether they will see much use on the tabletop is questionable; the Panzer 1 is a paltry beast if they're confronting anything more dangerous than a man with a rifle. However, as mobile machine-gun posts they could have their uses.
Next Day
Here's the Befehlspanzer 1B with the frame aerial.The aerial is pretty ragged; this is the sort of thing that FDM printing really does not do well.
