What an odd looking vehicle. I’m really getting the feeling of a recently tested prototype, that just got a bit muddy and dusty during trials! Well done mate!
Hello dearest, It is really beautiful and characteristic the French tank of the First World War that you printed and colored with the effects of dirt. I really like your choices like the "London Bus Ambulance" to evacuate the wounded soldiers from the battlefield. I am very fond of the means of war 14-18 (in Italy we say 15-18 because we entered a year late, you well know, as in the second war as well). Well done, keep it up!
As soon as I saw this,I new I had to watch it! This Looks like a hilarious vehicle,and in your execution,Looks great! Hope to see more of these unusual prototypes in the near future! Cheers!
Amazing historical footage of the real tank....and such good quality at that. A unique subject done well, MN...the weathering effect certainly made a huge difference to that monochrome camo scheme. Glad that the bench has one less accoutrement and the display cabinet an extra one to balance it :)
I wasn’t sure about your color choice until you got done with the pin wash and weathering, when it all came together. Nice choice of subject. These experimental armored vehicles have really grown on me, giving us a look at design directions that weren’t pursued. I see some small evidence of layer lines at the top of the ovoid feature behind the “turret” hatches. I hope some designer will figure out how to take advantage of that to sharpen up details like those bolts on the very top. When that happens 3D printing will have reached another maturity milestone. Thanks for showing us this… thing. Hoping to see many more.
Thanks Mark. For resin 3D printing 45 degrees is generally considered the best angle to print to reduce layer lines. Of course, unless you are printing a cuboid, not all faces can be at 45 degrees at once. I think in this case the area you refer to may have ended up at a poor angle when the rest of the model was rotated, if you see what I mean. A solution to this would be to print the model in separate parts, each rotated optimally - but that would need the original model to be broken up into parts.
Another very nice build/finish. The tank design looks more like 'trench art' than an actual fighting vehicle. No wonder only a prototype was built, lol!
@@ModelNerd I meant that someone should produce an injection-moulded kit with an interior. Sorry I wasn’t clear on that. Yes, all the kits available now are resin and the doors are non-opening. 🙂
This looks good as a finished painted model but I suppose with 3D printing it depends on how the subject is approached. If it is going to be a complete model as a single piece there are going to be limitations, especially in detailed areas like tracks. I am assuming it is possible to print individual track links, wheels and suspension parts to really try and emulate a plastic kit. I think I would prefer that approach.
Looks very nice. There is a "steamtank" on Ironclad Miniatures which is obviously modelled off this, which is kinda cool. Reckon you should do a "what if" of it in full French markings?
I really like the Mage Pro, although I was sent it free for review. Would I like it if I had bought it? I'm happy with the print quality and speed, which are obviously the main concerns. There resin pump/feed thing is just plain annoying and I never use it - a waste. The extraction fan tube is very helpful and much better than the previous two printers I used. I did a review video for it here: ua-cam.com/video/OEKsIuEB7EY/v-deo.html
nice little kit. though i think i would have opted for a more interesting scheme , one of schemes used by France in 1918 on their FT17 etc.. another "what if" ...
The model looks great. But the actual tank looks like a cartoon the pictures of the real thing the access hatch looks like a couple of doors off a metal cupboard 😂.
The feeling of clearing the "shelf of doom" is awesome.
It really is! And it feels like I'm making quick progress because I'm not starting all these kits from step 1 :)
@@ModelNerd the 1st lockdown in my country was when I cleared the whole lot. Have basically kept that up apart from the odd one now and then

Thank you mate. I'm definitely looking more at the early tanks and WWI vehicles :)
@@ModelNerd Fantastic!😀

Nice work Stu 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Really nice mate
😉👍
Thanks 👍
Very peculiar looking design tankette. For these projects that 3D printer comes in handy 💥👍💥
It sure does! Thanks for watching.
I need an injection moulded kit of this tank with an interior, it looks so cute. 😁 You did a good job on yours.
Thanks :) Which brand is your kit? I could only find 3D printed / resin ones online. An interior sounds great.

Yes, I agree - separate parts are definitely useful in the circumstances you describe. Some 3D printed creators do this.

That's a cool idea thanks!
Sir, do you suggest this printer? I hear mixed reviews and some flaws...

The front of the “turret” could use a few more polygons to it’s curves.
Yes, I agree

I did consider that, but then I thought since we have historical video of the real prototype, I'd try to go along with that.
Bonjour , Vendez-vous les plans 3D de ce tank ?
It isn't my creation - but you can find it on CGTrader
@@ModelNerd D'accord , merci ! 😊
🤝👍
Looked like a steam-punk dalek!
Haha! :)
Show this to Peugeot, watch them curse and swear with a baguette to Renault.
Helllo mr.nerd!ohh he is such a nice litte cute one!isnt he?with sticky greetings from Brandenburg germany.faithfully yours.your modellmate.christian
Thank you Christian
The model looks great. But the actual tank looks like a cartoon the pictures of the real thing the access hatch looks like a couple of doors off a metal cupboard 😂.
Haha. It may have been! After all, these first vehicles weren't far removed from tractors :)
it's ok but 4 minutes of watching this tank spin on a glass turntable is a bit much
I didn't have much else to show while I was saying Interesting Things :)
It's so chubby and stubby
Nice and cosy inside :)
Fascinating......!
Thanks Paul
