Side skirts?

Nice and thick where they can be to make them a bit more robust.

Nice.

Now I wonder f I can get that Haynes manual...

OK! Drawn, cut, exported, sliced and printing! 15 hours to print the hull...! Lets hope it works...

Fingers crossed mate 👍

Thanks! It's still going... 5 hours to go. Just topped up the resin. This is pretty much the limit on the printer without cutting the hull up. Problem is, unlike many tanks this hull is full width at the rear so I can't reduce the width by cutting the trackguards off, that means it has to turn 90 and print almost vertically. I'll get a pic later.

How is it going?

Rich H · « **Reply #133 on:** May 19, 2020, 03:42:27 PM »

It's done and initial look seems OK. Half working (the real job) half babysitting at present so can't sort it out yet.

It was still dipped into the resin which means it was on the limit for height! The resin is only 3-5 mm deep!
