Pretty much as the title says, I'm wondering who (I'm assuming somebody does) makes a resin 15mm sdkfz 11 with the canvas top modeled as down? Battlefront's are a one piece casting with the top up and solid windows, and I purchased one from Old Glory/Quality Castings, which while quite a nice casting is white metal, not resin. I have problems keeping the paint from chipping off white metal -detail- parts that don't get touched all that frequently, even with an enamel basecoast and dullcoating them, and can't touch these up due to the painting sequence. I'm assuming somebody makes a resin casting of a sdkfz 11 with the top down, probably multiple somebodys, but I don't know which manufactures that would be. Hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction(s)? |

I couldn't find any so I 3D printed a set. |

Before I take a risk on metal Old Glory halftracks, or paint Battlefront closed-top castings – surely -somebody- must make such a common vehicle in resin/not white metal? Anyone? (I've been burned with non-stable plastics from shapeways enough times that I no longer trust 3d printed product's long term stability. If it wasn't shapeways, was high quality -and- the material has both good detail and a track record of long-term materiel stability, I would consider it, but I don't know of any 3d printing places that can claim that.)
