Is there specialist software for military vehicles?

Not sure what you mean? This is Fusion 360 CAD, it's a (mostly) parametric so it's good for hard surfaces.

I just wondered if you use a standard CAD package or if someone had designed an addon that allows you to 'build' vehicles from preset forms?

I like the detail on the Pz1 turret - those guns look particularly good, not oversized.

They are warlord plastic MG34s...

I dropped the turret and snapped mine off...

Though mine are similar in scale.

These are drafted from a blank sheet with the help of drawings, photos and/or guesswork with the exception of a few common bits like spades and tools which I have a library of I have draw in the past.

Personally I think you are a genius! Your detailing is fantastic and these look brilliant.

Thanks!

I keep looking at it and it looks messy but it's just lots of rivets!
It did come out very well. Some tweaks needed to make the detail stand out like the vision slots are too narrow

Great skills on the design front - it looks great!

Good looking prints! I know what you mean about going down the rabbit hole...did that with the Pz 1 series R35/40s, and the BT series.

That gun is an absolute whopper!
Its an impressive model.

Thanks all

Family photo so far.

I keep finding variants. I'm up to 16 so far of which I've completed 7. A couple are prototypes only so probably not worth it but one of them has a 17pdr...

fred · « **Reply #28 on:** January 27, 2022, 06:52:21 PM »

looking good.

The 17pdr variant sounds mad, so should be made!

Sadly I've only found 2 pics. I'll post them later if I remember
