Hi Morfeusz,
The STL files are free from Thingiverse, just search Russian tank & it’s about 10 down from the top of the list.
I’ve already printed one from the STL’s at 100% which is 1/16 scale, the one I’m on with now is at 267% which is 1/6 scale.
If you’re new to printing the 1/16 scale would be a challenge but doable if you ask for advice on settings etc.
The printers I’ve used are 2 x Anet A8’s and a Creality Ender 3.
Cheers
Wayne

So if I want to print Jerry cans in 1/6 scale I can just take my 1/16 scale Jerry can file and set it for 267% and it should be just right? If that's the case, you're my hero, Wayne. Well, for at least the next 20 minutes or so.

Hopefully my maths are correct Gary.
1 x 16 = 16
16 divided by 6 = 2.66666667
So if you scale by 267% you’re on the money for 6th scale

All the lower suspension mounts are now bolted to the hull.


I’m now busy with the rear upper hull.



Cheers

Apart from mentioning ×100 for converting to percentage, your mathsssSSS is on the money Wayne

A little more done today...


Interestingly today I stepped in the hull forgetting that it’s held up from the floor by the suspension mounts, and guess what, it didn’t break, tfft
Cheers

Wow, that was lucky Wayne

You are certainly cracking on with this

Looks awesome

This is a wonder to behold, the printing is monumental!

Cheers chaps
Seeing as it’s Xmas & Santa put some money in my stocking (ohh err Mrs) I’ve bitten the bullet & ordered a Creality CR 10 S4.
It’s the middle sized one with a print area of 400mm cubed. I can’t wait for it to arrive as I’ve some parts I’m going to have to print that I’d prefer to print in one piece & they’ll fit nicely on the larger bed.
Another plus is that I’ll be printing track pieces shortly & at 3 hours each the more nozzles squirting out plastic the better.
Cheers
Wayne.

Is it too late to get the 500 mm bed? I'd even chip in. If you're doing a 1/6 T-35 on what you have now, with a 500 you could probably do a full sized space shuttle.

267% later, I have 6th scale jerry cans. Thanks, Wayne!!
