BEF Bren Carrier

[Fitz]

Here's a 3d-printed 15mm (1:100) Bren Carrier. This is one of the predecessors to the Universal Carrier, which removed the need for several dedicated vehicles for specific roles.

The original model was designed by M. Bergman; I've added rivet and track detail, and a couple of reasonably detailed crewmen. It's an acceptable print in FDM for a wargaming model, but it would be a lot better if printed in resin on a DLP or SLA printer. I don't have access to one of those, so what I've got is what I've got.

I'll probably print a couple more at some stage, because why not, but I actually already have enough metal Universal Carriers to equip a full battalion, so they're not really strictly necessary for my wargaming needs.

Nice work on the carrier.

Looking fabulous? How do you think they‘d scale up to 28mm?

I think the rivets would look like softballs, among other things. I think it would need quite substantial redesigning to look good at 1/56; I think it would be pretty chunky just up-scaled as it is.
