Oh I don't know. Looks like it was sculped by hand by someone using sculpey or plumbers putty. I don't have the sculpting skills to have done it let alone done it better. It was good enough for Tachikoma to identify it immediately, so I don't think it was that poorly done. |

Its a Tiger. All tanks are Tigers. |

I thought putty or clay too but the striations on the front glaces makes me think a 3D printed item. |

Yes definitely a 3D print. Looks like it might have been scaled up. |

Marc33954,
Its not a 3D print, the striations are way too big and the sides and top would show some light patrering, Not sure why it has be sculpted like that though. |
