Hurrah, the laptop is back and tonight has been spent slicing tanks.
Somewhere I have a set of pre sliced tanks but I cannot find them…
Sliced up and ready for printing are the following:
MkIII with a long 50mm
38T
MKII
Early Stug with and without schurtzen
I still need to slice a MkIV
I also sliced a Churchill… sadly it is a MKIII, I couldn’t find a MK1… well I could, but it was 1/72 instead of 1/100. I decided against the A10 etc as who in their right mind would want to play with one.
Just for fun, I also sliced a kubelwagen, an Austin 10 staff car and an Austin 7 Tilly. The latter is printing now.
So the allied force looks like this…
This will be split into two equal sets, one for me and one for the prize. I will print either two or four Churchill’s (I haven’t decided yet – they take over three hours each to print).
As for the Axis so far:
Yeah the Tiger would splat the allied tanks on its own, but it is for me. I might do a me against all comers with a Tiger, which might be fun…
The Panther is obviously in the wrong timeframe, but so far two MkIII’s a MkIV and two 38T’s (the MKII is a bit confused as I have a track from a C and a D on it… at least you can’t see both sides at the same time.
The buildings are mostly glued together too.
I have another half dozen that need roofs. I will have to get them printed off too. The scale is off with them, the seem more 1/72 than 1/100. In hindsight I should have reduced the size a bit more, but too late now.
The Tilly has just finished printing and here she is…
I will see what other non tracked vehicles are available, I really want a 222 as they are my all time favourite AFV.
Right I can go to bed now that the print has finished. It took a total of 1 hour 24 minutes to complete.
I still find the idea of 3D printing mind-blowing!
Nice to see a chance of pace from the norm. (The Lizards!)

So do I 😁 and I have a printer. I still marvel that I start with a blank plate and end up with a model 🤯🤯🤯

Loadsa progress! I think the A10 gets a bit forgotten – not as much character as an A9 and a bit of a slowcoach compared to an A13, but there nonetheless! 🙂

For a convention game I decided to miss them out as, in the rules, they are pretty naff and although accurate for 41/42 I didn’t want people to be put off .
