As North of the Boarder is oft to say"It's not just good, it's good enough". Hi James I quite enjoyed this video particularly as I'm considering a) investing in a 3d printer b) still trying to figure out acrylics. The end result is definitely pretty awesome.😎

I really like the 3D printed Stuart, it is one of the best 3D printed "kits" I've seen. One small issue I would have had is that all hatches are closed and also the periscopes are not installed so in reality the crew would be entombed. I now do my tank models with the hatches open and some crew figures. I really like the way you painted the apples, they look amazing. Also doing something like this is a very clever way of getting non military colours onto a military model.

Beautiful diorama! Really impressed with everything, the tank, the figures and the base with all the vegetation. I like 1/48 scale but not many tanks (except from Tamiya) around. Your finding about the 3D printed Stuart and other options from this japanese 3D artist is really interesting. I think it's slowly time to get a 3D printer and learn how to use it. Just don't know if I will find enough time to learn and build.

Thankyou Zona that's very kind. I think with 3d printing after a few prints it becomes second nature like with any of our techniques. And then you streamline the process and the only major time sink is finding or creating the parts, and supporting them. The rest us waiting and a bit of cleanup

One day 3D printing is a quirky and flawed medium the next day holy shit, that looks absolutely incredible! I am hoping this means it will now be possible to have better access to more niche and forgotten vehicles, but will have to see how it can be applied

Thanks Ben, I think one of the problems for consumers, especially picky ones like myself, is that because a lot of the files are produced by hobbyists there is a mix of file quality. There are loads of cool trucks out there, but a good chunk of them have solid windows for example. Some make masterworks, and some are a bit iffy

33:40 Thats not a print flaw, thats a modeling flaw. Large rectangular polygons on the model need to subdivided down if the surface they are representing isn't perfectly flat. In STL (an many other formats) all N-gons will get split into triangles. Those long defects along the side are the diagonal edges dividing what were large rectangles into two triangles each. These kinds of flaws can either make the surface concave or convex as a result with the hard edge showing down the middle. More subdivisions/polys making up the surface would minimize this to the point it disappears entirely. To give the benefit of the doubt to the modeler, this is usually hard to notice in the modeling software if you don't know to look for it by turning of the surface smooth-shading so you can see how the edges are breaking, if at all. Cheers.

Hi James, that 3D Stuart kooks absolutely outstanding, I have to admit I do not rezlly understand about 3D printing, can you get a 35th scale version? That would be a good size to see built, as it is my prefered scale, but your build looked perfect, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
@lpjmodels

Thanks Les. Yes any file you get or create can be resized. I use the tools on this site a lot. www.scalemodelersworld.com/online-scale-converter-tool.html And there is a section that can covert in % 1/48 to 1/35 for example. So in your slicer software, where you prepare the file for print you can rescale everything from 48 to 35 by changing the percentage to 137.14% then that's your things upscaled
