3d printed tanks

[druid8172]

some more 3d printed models in a similar vein to my other post about 3d printing ships for Jutland. but this time its 1:200th scale tanks https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3555618 created by M Bergman

They look great. I don’t know anything about 3D printing but would it be possible to reset to print to larger scales?

It is always possible to upscale, but details won't magically appear as you might imagine.

btw, is this topic supposed to have images? Nothing shows for me.

you can rescale but you can run into problems. In the details on the site it does say that people have scaled some of his models to 1:100 scale for 15mm wargaming but they are not highly detailed. he has redone some of his WW2 models to 1:100 scale with higher details so hopefully he may do the same for these eventually

I didn't add images as the link has them available and since there are more than 50 models I didn't want to clog the forum but here is one image of some printed tanks from the link

Ah right, with the title "printed tanks" I thought this was a topic about models you printed, not the available, though I have to admit, those file packs are some of the best out there considering they are free, and incredibly wide-ranging. As a CAD sculptor myself I'm in awe at the prodigious output on display.

sorry for the confusion

I have just purchased an Anycubic Photon resin printer and am going to be printing a few models of in the near future I will post up some of the results as I finish them. but these are towards the end of the things to print list

I printed some of the work of mister Bergman, rescaled in 20mm scale.

The 1/100 versions are detailed enough for this upscaling, the 1/200 are less detailed, and there is especially one problem : panels and tracks, once rescaled, appears quite thick.

Personaly it's good enough for me, since a lot of 1/200 models are available only in this scale. But of course if you find bigger models (28mm, 20mm or even 15mm) you should choose them instead, and use the 1/200 models only when you don't find something else.

I've rescaled some of these models down to 1:300th scale for use with my 6mm armies, im VERY happy with the detail on these models. The Mark IVs are amazing, and the A7Vs are quite nice as well.

They look fantastic. I like the idea of 1:285 scale most. If there were some GHQ quality infantry, cavalry and artillery the scale would be perfect for gaming WW1. Cambrai comes to mind - mass tanks, cavalry all on the same front.
