I use Shapeways for all my 3D printing and the parts came back quickly and problem-free.įirst step as always is a coat of Tamiya extra fine primer. The model is fairly big - six inches square - and it would cost quite a bit to print entirely in resin. Second, I wanted the turret and the gun barrel printed in higher detail resin, with the main body and the treads printed in ABS/nylon. First, ease of painting, especially for the road wheels and treads. The parts breakdown was done with two things in mind. The treads took a while to work out, mostly because they don’t actually “work” in terms of how each pad links to the next, but I wanted a chunky cartoon look as opposed to realistically sized and interlinking sections. The 3D modeling was done in Autodesk 3D Studio Max 2019. The idea of a cartoony tank that might fight Godzilla in a 1960s cartoon seemed fun to me. At the time I started, I had cartoon tanks on the brain, inspired by things like the Meng Models World War Toons line, old video games like Metal Slug and the plastic army playsets of my childhood.
