What scale are these to please?
I'm looking for a 6pdr in 1:6 scale to tow behind a Bren carrier (when I eventually finish it!!!)

Even I like those Mr Frankie, great job making rare pieces.
Last one I had was an Airfix version in 1;72nd !!
Seems like several light years ago now :eh:

In theory, yes, but I dread to think how long they’d take...1/16 ties up the printer long enough.. :lolno:

I’ve had many a 7+ day print doing 1/6 scale stuff, it’s shocking just how fast 1/16 scale is when you switch back lol

But Will, we all know you're going to buy more printers anyway. Isn't it just a question of trying to figure out how to sneak them past the wife? I really hope you're successful, cuz you've been doing some great work and I picked up a lot from your contributions, Will. Thanks, bro.

With so many 3D Printers in the hands of members of the Forum I wonder if the Forum could start a marriage agency :haha:
Someone needs an Item that is not readily available and puts it on the list and a fellow member prints it and money changes hands and on to the next job :thumbup:
Just three of the items on my wish list would be the Early one piece Tiger 1 rear fenders (Unhinged and Curved) and the Early Tiger 1 twin pot Feifal Air Cleaners and a Fifth wheel for my trucks.
Nothing complex or expensive but short run for a fellow member.
