Here is a selection of WW1 vehicles from Mark Bergman's excellent set of STL files. The scale is 1:285 (6mm):

Making your own has to be fun and rewarding |

Bergman's models are quite good and I've had great luck scaling his smaller models to 10mm (my preferred scale) and his larger models all the way to 1/56 on my Form 2. Great stuff. |

Me too, I have been scaling up to 10mm as well for the Korean War. That guy is a treasure to the hobby. |

Ah, good to hear that TGerritsen. My printer is a Form 3, from the same stable. Robert |

Link to the Form 3? Here you are: link There is a review here: youtu.be/W1U92aD-hgs There are other types of resin printer available, such as the one reviewed most recently on Little Wars TV. About 1/10 the cost of a Form 3: youtu.be/aD7n1TUbLJs Robert |

Monk-I was tempted to get the 3, but even with the trade in discount they were offering, I just didn't have the spare cash. Did you have a 2? If so, how does the 3 compare in your eyes? The 2 has been fantastic, though, so I'm pleased at the prints I get. |

I didn't have the 2 first, no. There were other reasons for me to get the 3 but the 2 is perfectly good for this sort of thing. I am not surprised you have been pleased. The quality of the prints is superb. Plus everything is so self-contained, which makes working with resin so much easier (and no fumes). Robert |

Ive got 2 Elegoo Mars, an Anycubic Chiron and 2 Ender 3s and a wonderful collection of Bergmans files. I'll never buy another AFV lol. 3d printing is so incredibly rewarding |

I'm in agreement with Warmaster Horus. I have an AnyCubic Photon and an Ender 3. The toys I can make are simply fantastic, and M_Bergman is indeed a treasure!

Great link, Don. Good reviews and some nice examples of what is possible. Robert |
