This is really fun and the tank is big enough I can use real tools and not just hobby tools

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

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.
