This is a 1:100 (15mm) model of the Churchill 3" Gun Carrier, designed by M. Bergman and 3d-printed by me on my Ender 3. The filament is eSun PLA (grey), and the layer height is 0.06mm.

It's not a vehicle that ever made it into active service, since its function was overtaken by better, more effective options even before its own development process was completed. There were about 50 of them built, nevertheless.

Nice model.

If it was a German vehicle with a production run of 50, then every gamer would have one!

It's an ugly, slab-sided boxy nightmare. I love it. The print and painting are lovely.

I think because it looks like refined WWI technology.

3" gun in a box - nice work.  Nice print too.
