For some reason I can’t explain I enjoyed putting all the 3D printed parts in a box.

Fascinating process. Especially for hard to get subjects

3d print is a really fantastic tool if you can handle it
Like your work 👍

A friend of mine also works with 3d printing
Abd he never wants a payment 😉
So i think it's rather cheap 😁

I am sure that it is like an addiction as soon as you start, you cannot stop. It keeps the creative cells going!

Does anyone have any ideas on where I might get decals for some interesting livery on a Mark IV Male?

This kit looks great!
When do you go into mass production?😄

This looks great, Ben. 👍
Sorry, no idea about the decals. But I think brush painting some kind of name on it may look good.

I solved the issue by using leftover decals from my Tamiya Matilda.

Amazing 👍🙂 It's starting to look very convincing, can't wait to see how you treat the tracks 👍

I was just pondering what to do with the tracks. Right now they're panzer grey.

I like it, it is very cool to think that it came out of a 3D printer. 👍 Nicely done painting and weathering.

@WhiteGlint it is one less reason to leave the house. Plus I was in danger of building kits faster than I bought them, so this enables me to overcome that problem.
