To advice for my diorama

[desmo16]

Hello everyone, could you recommend a cannon to be made 1/16 next to my tiger1 late version?

I would go a quickly positioned PaK40.......if you can get one !!

Best is Merit 15 cm howitzer - cheap and big - but too big for your diorama
Here is my one

I found this kit ... easy to assemble? The instructions do not seem to me to be detailed.

I've been intrigued by these low cost paper card models that seems to build into nice static models. I wonder how the parts can be made so clean. I mean they look perfectly round, thick or flat..

Has anyone build one of these ?

Desmo, where are you? I have an stl file to 3D print a PAK 40. I suspect you're not in the US so it would cost too much for me to print it and mail it to you, but maybe someone over there can print it for you if I send you the files? I sent one of these kits to a friend in Colorado and he really did a great job on it. If you want I can see about getting some photos of his finished kit. Being a home-made kit it's not super detailed or anything, but it gives you a basic PAK 40 to start with that looks pretty good on anyone's battlefield. And it can be very, very cheap. If you have your own printer it takes about $3 worth of plastic to print this thing, if that. One day I'd like to see us all 3D printing stuff and sharing files for free. I don't think that's an unreasonable request though. If you think about it, 30 years ago very few people had computers in their home, and now pretty much everyone has one, and 30 years from now I really believe every home will have a 3D printer of some kind.

You convinced me to getting a 3D printer ASAP, lol. That resin one you showed us is amazing.

I encourage you to upload the 3D file in the downloads section in this forum, so people can download it!

Hello, I live in Italy, I thank you for your help, very kind, but I prefer to take an assembly kit. Even if I have to stretch the 99% diorama I think I'll take this kit.

Good choice. The Merit kits are first rate, and I have the 15cm howitzer. One of these days I'll add the K-18.
