Thanks to the generosity of makhno1918 making his design available – King Kong advances accompanied by members of the Durruti column (28mm). link link Comments welcome. |

Not the King Kong I was hoping for, but that AFV looks sufficiently homemade. |

I thought it was odd that King Kong (the ape-ish one) would be on the SCW forum. Good work on the mini, though. |

Where can one download the STL file for this? |

looks great gengulfus! I hope it helps your anarchists create a new world from the ashes on your game table. @jhancock, I'm not sure about stl file, but if the link to the tinkercad on the other thread is expired I can resend it. The kind local librarians helped me with the exporting and printing aspect of the project. |

I created an stl file from the Tinkercad project in makhno1918's previous post (it's in the linked blog entry, you have to scroll down).
It was 20mm so we scaled it up by 129% in the slicing process to make it 28mm ( didn't change either the stl or the Tinkercad project).
When it printed off, the machine gun and one of the mudguards didn't print properly. I cut off the MG and replaced it with a metal one and used a square of thin card for the missing mudguard. |

I had the same problem with the gun, as well as the rear steps on one of the prints, in 1/72, was hoping it'd work better scaled up. My mudguards came out with diagonal lines on them, cleaned it up with a file and some miliput. Looks like you did a great job cleaning it up gengulfus! Jhancock I hope the file prints well for you, I'm happy that my work (and Mike's research help and suggestions) is getting put to good use. |
