Title: 3d printed Strykers M1126
Post by: waco joe on 30 July 2017, 10:36:02 PM
Using the files from Thingiverse by the prolific m_bergman I printed off a couple of quick and dirty M1126 Strykers using .2 layering and scaling for 20mm / 1/72nd scale.
The painting was equally quick, a primer coat of Sage spray paint, a couple of drybrushes and washes and then an off white spray coat for the dust. I will probably keep them on the table to do a bit more detailing as the muse strikes but quite serviceable for my needs.

Very nice.

I am surprised no one does them in 20mm (though I had to get my dad to straighten the hull of a white metal LAV in the way back when, so maybe not).

You could get so much better results with a tiny bit of work before you print. More than happy to advise if you are up to giving it another go.

Certainly, I am up for any tips you can pass on.
