Re: Mmm new project
Each side skirt took 56 hours iirc, I could have done them quicker with thicker layers & thinner walls etc but I want this to be virtually indestructible lol
I try not to keep tabs on how long things take to print, as I may start wondering why I do it lol

Re: Mmm new project
If you were to build one of those in 1/6 scale you'd probably have to build a garage or carport just to hold it. I wouldn't be surprised if a maus in 1/6 scale is as big as a small car, like an MG or something. You could probably fix it up so the kids could ride in it.

Re: Mmm new project
Are you printing the suspension pieces as solid pieces?

Re: Mmm new project
A Maus is/was 33' 6" (10.2m) apparently, therefore in 6th it would only be 5' 7" (1.7m)

Re: Mmm new project
This is looking great! A take on the Maus I don't think many people have tried. Following with great interest!
Re: Mmm new project
Thanks, I check Thingiverse every day but missed this.
Another future build started (as if I don't have enough builds on the go)-
