| The remixed model |
Some time ago, I downloaded a 1:100 scale Chieftain 5 model from Thingiverse that was intended for printing at 1/300 (6mm) scale.
Unfortunately, I don't recall who was the original designer.
I rescaled it to 1:150 for my BG:NORTHAG British army.
It was fine, as far as it went: the proportions were good, but it was quite simplified in several areas to make it printable in very small scale.
I decided to tinker with it a bit — not a lot, but just enough to refine some of its details.
I gave it a new gun barrel, and refined the curves of the cast turret front. I added sockets so that I could magnetize the turret. And I thinned down the tracks, and added a bit of track detail.
I also split the hull in half, fore and aft, and printed it in two pieces. This gave me much smoother printing of the very shallow curves of the hull front.
As I said, it was OK before, but I like it better now.
