Birch Gun
« on: March 13, 2016, 01:35:35 AM »



This is my 3d-printed 15mm Birch Gun model all painted up. It needs some crewmen added, so I shall have to see what I can find — I have some spare Peter Pig standing artillerymen, but I need a couple of seated figures as well.

An interesting model for an interesting vehicle!

Did you grab the file for this from somewhere, or make it yourself?

I made it myself in Blender.

I couldn't find much in the way of 15mm interwar stuff available anywhere else, so I decided to see what I could do by way of 3d printing. It's still a bit expensive compared with most metal or resin models, especially in the high-resolution resins, but I assume the price will drop over time — I see, for example, that a desktop 25-micron stereolithography printer can be had now for about the same price as I paid for my first 300dpi black-&-white laser printer, so all I have to do to be able to afford one is live long enough :)
