How many hours needed to print the massive pieces?

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

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.

Are you printing the suspension pieces as solid pieces?

Yep, they are solid, using thinner walls & infill actually. Takes longer lol
Give it a go Gary

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

This is looking great! A take on the Maus I don't think many people have tried. Following with great interest!

Thanks, I check Thingiverse every day but missed this.
Another future build started (as if I don't have enough builds on the go)-
