Hi friends,

The project is not stopped, it is on vacation for now

The project has reached the desired level of maturity and, as I mentioned before, it is time to share it:

https://github.com/edumardo/VK-16.02-Leopard

On this page you can download all available STL files: hull, upper, suspension and rear stuff. Go to Releases on the right side, and click on Source code (zip). Please read carefully the README file, this project is WIP and require additional non-printable parts.

Also take a look to the assembly documents, an example:

I also published the model on Printables:

This site is more user friendly.

Beautiful model, and using the print bed to texture the armour plates is a stroke of genius!

Also, thanks a lot for making the files public. Very generous, and maybe I'll give this particular model a crack one day.
I remember having a lot of fun with this little critter back when I played World of Tanks.

Yes, small and heavy, perfect for scouting and ramming

After some troubles with thingiverse website, the model is also available there: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5446778

Remember friends that the most updated files will always be on github, check the version before starting printing.

Hi gyus,

I've been busy with other projects, but good news! I'm about to publish the turret files, including turning, elevation and recoil

I have spent hours and hours and hours redesigning and printing until I came up with a valid design. The recoil system is fully inspired in the RiskyR M4A1 Sherman.

A few photos of the model and construction:

The entire turret and mantlet looks very smooth

The first thing I was thinking when I saw your pictures: "hey, that looks familiar!"

Looks very nice, I'm glad I was able to inspire someone to do this themselves! Keep up the good work
