3D printed Raupenschlepper Ost

[Michi]

I got 2 free copies (is that the right word?) of the RSO model in 1/56th scale printed from a Thingiverse file. The model lacks some details and is in general not very accurate to the prototype, but for the use in Bolt Action on the gaming table it is good enough and not worse than many resin models on the market. The print quality was also good enough to make a nice gaming piece with not too much work to have the printing marks concealed. I rounded the roof of the cab a little bit, covered the even surfaces with putty, gave it a good sanding and put paint on it:

 Nice paintwork & weathering on the RSO's (that always helps - I particularly like how you did the windows) & the models' quality seems pretty acceptable for a tabletop model, that they were free couldn't have hurt either

Great work Michi, I would be happy with those on the table too.

They look great! Well done.

Fine painting and great choice of colour tones. I wonder, though, if the original 3D model was designed for 15mm. For that scale, I suspect that the level of detail would be more than appropriate while robust, but it comes off a bit clunky when upscaled to 28mm/30mm...

It seems that it was designed in 1/200 and upscaled to 28mm. From here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2772045
No gem, but good enough to recognise the prototype.
