1/16 WCP RC Models Pak40 Towable & Poseable

Post by Will01Capri »

I have been working on a 1/16 Pak40 for sometime now, its almost sorted now, just tweaking a few parts for strength and durability. I know it will still be tweaked for weeks, months and years to come. But it has been an enjoyable process

i am making a couple with 3d printed tyres and after that i may do some with custom rubber tyres.
The legs fold in and out and have locks for pinning them together if being towed. There are also locking pins for the arms
There are lifting and folding personnel arms near the ground buckets. The main gun is mounted on a large bearing and then the other moving parts are bushes with brass. It elevates & rotates slightly, the armour shield moves up and down with elevation. THe barrel can be pulled back into recoil position for towing and the front shield folds up and down.
The wheels have dual sets of bearings in them and the suspension arms have mounted torsion springs for fully independent working suspension.

In time i will make it really recoil, but i have now decided to move on with some other projects as that will do for now.
Need my wife to get it painted up next to really show it off :)

Many thanks for your kind words, alot of hours in modelling and building various prototypes. I going to look out the Vandra kit now to see how it compares on detail :)

Thanks guys

If i am lucky enough to get some cheap flights and tickets sorted, i may bring a couple of my models to Dortmund, but otherwise i still plan on being there again this year as last year was great fun

The detail i think looks ok with the added structures i make with hardware to make sure the model is more robust and useable. I like things to work as best they can for a model, so everything moves

Looks good. You must have really tweaked the settings to get that to print so well..

It took a while, Ender3 and Cr10s4 pla only. Print max 0.1 and 0.05 on small parts. Used various nozzles etc

I need to add up total print time. But I think it equates to more than 1 week. Totally worth it though
