1/144 pair of SU 122’s
« on: April 28, 2025, 08:47:13 AM »
These are from Anschluss Wargames and are printed in a 3D resin. they are light, robust, with quite fine detail to the wheels (until I clogged them up with mud!). The decals are from my pack of SU 76 by Victrix.

I used a few processes to vary the green, but in analysis, that is not visible to the eye, so I think I would leave those steps out in future.

Last year, I sold off my 1/72 stuff, to replace it with the smaller scale. Aesthetically, i still miss the 1/72, but there is something very compelling about the 10mm / 12mm vehicle models and I really do like them. I have a bit of a queue, they just need to get to the painting table.

Here are two pics, the new Anschluss 1/144 SU 122’s and my old Pegasus 1/72 model.

 That's got a surprising amount of detail for something so small.

You should see Scalefiend Miniatures 1/144 stuff, astonishing detail:

Or Butler 3D printed stuff in resin.

I still collect 1/72 tanks, in plastic kit and 3d resin, although they end up more for display. I collect a lot of 10mm AFVs for WW2 and Cold War gaming, and pretty much use 3d resin prints now. Small guns like PAK35/36 are quite fragile, but look the part.
The other thing of course is that there are hundreds of vehicles and guns available in 3D resin that will never appear as plastic 1/72 kits or 15mm/10mm metal, especially if what-if prototypes are your thing.
