Not entirely happy with this print of the hull. I'm currently sanding it down, but I've lost rivet detail as a result...

Reprinted the hull after re-lubricating the z-axis on my printer. Still one artifact but much better than the last one I printed.

I keep dropping it and breaking parts but it’s time to make some progress.

Glueing together the parts I’ve broken off. Fortunately I have a couple bad prints to use for parts. Used a 1/32 Japanese machine gun part to replace the broken off machine gun.

To be honest, the tracks are worked out crispy, so adding some rivets along the road isnt a bad result, I think.
It looks like 1:35?

Yes, it's 1:35. I had a lot of trouble printing the tracks but I think I can piece them together from several attempts.

This is coming along nicely. It looks like the 3D printing takes a lot of patience.

It takes a ton of patience, at least my printer does. Always seems like 10 hours into a print things go awry

Tracks, some detail painting, chipping/rust, and dust/mud still to go! I wanted to try weathering something heavily.
