From Pat G - 15mm Hover APCs (12 Points)

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. :)

  1. 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.

  6. While I prefer the irregular shapes in the camo pattern. They both help to break the silhouette very nicely.

    And Like everyone else I want a 3 d printer as well now! (Jealous)
