Wow you can really see the striations on the 3D print. Mike Bunkermeister Creek Bunker Talk blog |

Exactly. Too many 3D print tanks are similar. This vine looks worse than some I could mention. |

What striations? That's the corrugated iron used in the construction. Picture from sixlasers' link above.
Looks pretty spot-on to me. Jim |

Well done Jim and sixlasers. The striations would have been all over, if a printing failure. Tango did post a feature on the tank itself not so long ago |

I was going to say "That's a good way to hide the striations" but you lot have beaten me to it ! |

A deathtrap. Thankfully never used in anger. |

Well, I was WRONG! It's even more …. charming now. Makes me almost want to have seen it in battle. |
