Your build is coming along nicely! Are you going to space both of the return rollers the same as on the actual tank?
I am still uncertain if I am going to change mine, I am a little concerned about the weight of the metal tracks.

Nice XM-153 Remote Weapon Station; any thoughts of making it available? I have a M1A2 SEP planned as a future build and will be needing one.
There may be others here that may also be interested.

Thanks, Barry! I had the return wheel upgraded to alloy because my plastic wheel broke when it arrived. Not likely moving I've not done any reinforcing for the hull yet - maybe? Looking for aluminum L plates and some form of cross members.

As for the XM-153, don't think it's accurate. I eyeball the dimension from photographs on the net.

Just bought a 1/35 MX-153 just to have a look at the object and planning to draft another one - still waiting for it to arrive.

cheers!

here's a closer look at my Mx-153.

some of the details are enlarged due to the limitation of the 3D printer(Cubicon single) because the nozzle will not be able to print that thin and fine.

maybe a resin printer on Form2 should be able to print, I have not prepped that yet.

I will, however, try to get the measurement from the 1/35 MX-153 shamelessly when it arrived.

Then use the form2 to print resin

Found this http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?217 ... 354#qa&p=1

I dont know whether the cost of $850 including the tank or just XM153 by it self.

I think that will be in Hong Kong dollars. Current exchange rate is 1 x HK$= £0.098
So HK$ 850 is just short of £85..

22 GBP =37 AUD.. not bad considering this is the only one out there.

That is not a bad price IF the quality and level of detail meet your needs.

Looking at the photos it "looks" pretty good under a coat of paint but I would like to see some closeups of the unpainted product.

Right now my plan is to scratch build mine.

Nexusys,

Where did you acquire the resin figure; who manufactured it?

Sorry Barry, which resin figure are you referring to? Never have one?
