I thought I was done for this year but I was tweaking my 3D printer and printed a couple of test models. There were a couple of problems with the vision blocks and the tops of the fan intakes but they'll pass. The inexpertly done camouflage patterns are based on ones used on the island of Malta where vehicles were parked against brick or stone walls in an attempt to hide them from the Reggia and Luftwaffe. At least the originals were hand painted too so my efforts not too far off. ;)
So that's another 12 points. :)
3D Printer? Cool! I'm so jealous as I really want one of those bad boys.
Are those the turbofans on the flanks of the vehicle? These look pretty darn neat, but your camo is so effective that you can't really pick out the surface detail! What system are you going to use them for Bill?
Good work! Now, print off some more stuff for us to look at before the curtain drops. :)
Great stuff Pat. I am also jealous of the printer. When I first saw these, I immediately thought of a picture of a Vickers light tank on Malta.
ReplyDeleteInteresting camo affect Pat. I've learned something today!
ReplyDeleteNice work and well done on using a 3D printer to make these :)
ReplyDeleteNeat that you have one of those. One day we'll be seeing you start your own Kickstarter!
ReplyDeleteCool, love the camo. OH to have a 3-D printer
ReplyDeleteWhile I prefer the irregular shapes in the camo pattern. They both help to break the silhouette very nicely.
ReplyDeleteAnd Like everyone else I want a 3 d printer as well now! (Jealous)
It will be interesting to see where 3D printers take the hobby. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteI do want one of those 3d whatzits! ;)
ReplyDeleteCool camouflage too, it has given me some ideas! ;)
