I’ve got everything printed, just on with tracks now, this Hetzer is a work of artImage
I’m just waiting for bearings to arrive
Image

I’m not good at waiting though, so I started having a play around...
Image

1/6 scale should just fit on my S4, over 7 days print time & 2.25 kg of filament, hmmmm


Sod itImage

Tiger6 was right.
Mother of god :haha:

I wish you good luck for that 7 days.

Just small advice - DO NOT put supports inside this two holes.
There can be serious problem with removing supports.
Can be a bit better with 1/6 scale as you have more place for work, but its very hard to remove in 1/16 scale.

There is something very bizarre about seeing Wayne print one of your 1/16 scale creations out at the size of a small coffee table 8O :wtf: :crazy:

Thank you.Nice to hear that.Its one of my objectives, to do user-friendly models that can be builded with fun.
Outer shell of RC tank can be drawn in few days, but it took more than year to make a real kit.
I love kits and assembly guides for whole life and its a great feeling to see my kit builded by customer.
Even better with happy customer (i have only happy customers for now).

Good work with all that printing, Wayne.
1/6 is monstrous.
Do you have a self-locking nuts on that axle?

Hi, yes I had some self locking nuts & they worked a treat
The only thing I had to buy from China were the motors, I hope they arrive quickly lol
