It's a matter of dividing the model into parts. Additionally, in this case, the length of the printout is affected by the detailed interior (which won't be visible anyway).

Oh, I know how to cut it up into pieces as I printed my 1/6th KV-1 on my Bambu X1C with a 256mm build plate. I'm currently printing that free LCM3 that's on Thingiverse. I've got it about half printed. Then I have to figure out how to seal up the rudders and drive shafts since I've never played with RC boats before.

Residental building:

superb!

I've been thinking about how to build our entire french town and farms, as they must be outside all year, with very hot sun on summer... do you really think this PETG
material would last?

best regards

That's superb, Kaczor! That's not an "accessory" to RC tanks; that building is a great model in itself!

The PETG material itself should have no problems in the sun. In my case, there were additionally many layers on the outline to strengthen the print. I would only be afraid of fading paints. Therefore, it is better not to permanently mount such buildings. To always have the possibility of taking them away and repairing them.

In my case it is a "portable" model, because in spring and summer we have many one- or two-day meetings of the rctank.pl group in different places all over Poland. Each participant brings with them elements of thediorama, from which we build a larger display.

That house looks great. I've found some dollhouse roof tiles similar to those that I think I'm going to add to my Scarecrow Normandy houses.

This is superb

Reminds me of the old Airfix Battle of Waterloo farm.

That website has three rather cool damaged buildings, all about the same footprint as the farmhouse.

I already have a full set of buildings that can be arranged in a variety of ways. The architecture fits several sceneries: France, Italy, southern Poland, etc.

"The architecture fits several sceneries: France, Italy, southern Poland, etc." Yes, indeed: I saw very similar in the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary... I think the farmstead makes a wonderful model in itself!

Looks awesome. I was looking through my Cults favorites and saw these farm files in there. I knew it looked really familiar.
