Ahhhhh. Going for a Gale Force 9 paint job I see. Lol. Seriously though, nice job on the tank. I honestly wish I could create stuff like this on my CAD software!

Very nice looking model, is that a Vandramodel conversion kit? I have one of his kits and I just got my hands on a Henglong Sherman to build up a Lee also. Larry B

According to the build log he posted it's designed and 3D printed by him. Good looking M3.

Thanks

@1qaz
it's 3D printed. I started it in 2014 and I've learnt a lot about designing and printing since then (plus printers are a lot better now) so now I'm working on an improved version for a Grant-

Very well done. Nice design, and nice execution. You did a good job dealing with the 3d print texture. I've built some 3d printed models, and I've had good luck filling and hiding the 3d print texture using ladies finger nail polish. It fills gaps, dries quick and smooth, and it is sandable and paintable.

That looks really good, Woz. I've been watching as you've been experimenting and I've seen your improvement over time. I would say right now you're one of the best 3D print guys we have.

And Paco, wait until you see the quality I'm getting off this SLA printer. I'm printing the armored shield for the windscreen for the M3 right now.
