Vickers-Crossley (1:100)

 

Here's my latest 3d printing project in progress, a Vickers-Crossley armoured car in 1:100 scale (designed by Zachary Kavulich) alongside a 1921 Rolls Royce (background) that I've been using as a painting test model for a while now.

The Vickers-Crossley is one of the most difficult models I've tried to print. This is version four, and it's still kind of a mess — I'm coming to the conclusion that it's just too much for my poor old Ender 3. I might see if my friend Steve can get something better out of his resin printer.

Some time later...


I got it painted, though it's not a great job.

I should go back over it and clean up the panels a bit. This one looks like it's just been dragged out of a peat bog.

      The designer, Zac Kavulich, was planning on putting this (and all his other recent WWII Japanese designs) up on Thingiverse. Look there for TigerAce1945 — I don't know if it's there yet, if not you just have to keep checking.
