After 3 weeks of hard work on the track guards and with the help of the guys that do the resoration of the Churchill MK IV Minotaur, I've been able to get them as close as possible. (I did one small mistake, adding a detail that was not there, I let you spot it
).So after 3 failed prints (about 20 hours of printing lost), after having found the problem (that was the FEP for those who are into 3D printing), I have been able to print them without too much distortion.
The front section is made of 0.5mm styrene (actually there are sandwitched ribbed like on the original), and I can tell you that is super strong, that's the good point of reproducing how the originals were made.
I've added a lot more nuts, bolts and rivets here and there ! But I still have to add more (forgot them on the brackets that were printed with the track guards
). I have a lot more details to add : small hooks for the front hatch, small hooks on the side air filters, handles on the hatches and so on...- churchill102.jpg (588.04 KiB) Viewed 1275 times
