Title: Peerless armoured car (15mm)
Post by: Fitz on August 16, 2017, 05:28:03 AM

This is my 3d-printed model of the Peerless armoured car of 1919.

This one is printed in WSF, so the surface texture is very grainy. Now that Shapeways have dropped the price of their FUD and FXD resin prints, I doubt that I'll often bother with WSF any more. The FUD is still more expensive, but the improvement in print quality is worth a couple of dollars extra I think.

It's available from http://shpws.me/MIvy (http://shpws.me/MIvy)

Good work!   I don't know how Shapeways works in this respect, but is there any prospect of making these available in other scales?  I'd love one in 10mm, though I suppose the gun barrels and wheels might end up too fragile for an easy transition; there could well be 20mm modellers who might like one too.

I'm in the process of rescaling a whole lot of stuff to 1:144 scale, and this will probably end up in the pile.
