See this earlier post about the previous batch of M-113. This batch was prompted by the arrival (some months ago if truth be told) of some turrets kindly 3D printed for me by Pete.
I followed the usual process of carving the basic shapes from 2-inch insulation foam. The running gear was added from images found on the internet and printed on thin card.
Impressive!
ReplyDeleteLooking good there Tim.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Hello there Tim,
ReplyDeleteThat is an inspired idea old chap!
All the best,

These are very effective. I have always liked this vehicle since I saw it as a boy in an Italian magazine Armies and Weapons , or some such name, came with a big poster of uniforms or vehicles. It had military history articles as well as ones on modern vehicles and armies. Perhaps you recall it?
ReplyDeleteI have to ask - why not just get the whole thing 3D printed? Alex
ReplyDeleteThey look great Tim! Well done!

ReplyDeleteThe good bits are still to come!

ReplyDeleteThanks - I have several such models carved from insulation board.

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like 'Armies and Weapons' magazine, which contained some excellent articles as well as a poster in each issue.

ReplyDeleteA very fair question. Truth is, I have a 'fleet' of similar M-113 which pre-date my access to friends with 3D printers. Besides, it's such a simple shape and bodging is very much part of the 'ethos' of Little Cold Wars.
