Hi guys
Started work on these 3 Sdkfz 11s, lots more to do on them, originally meant for Hungarian artillery tractors, however I’m designing a Hungarian version in CAD, so these will become artillery tractors for a German unit, also a Daimler Benz G5 heading for a German unit, I also did some work on the front wheels for my Hungarian Sdkfz 11, in the picture the grey wheel on the right is the original, the wheel on the left with yellow and orange areas is my changed wheel.
Hi guys
I wanted to 3D print a set of Sdkfz 11s as gun tractors for my Hungarians, whilst the Hungarians used a number of regular Sdkfz 11s, their gun tractor version was a unique version of the 11 with a cargo area behind the drivers cab, so I took the opportunity to teach myself CAD and design one, the first picture below shows the Hungarian version, the 2nd pic (blue vehicle) is the file I will be converting, designed by big_eye on thingyverse, the following pics are what I have done so far, the last 3 pics are a comparison of the tracks I’m working on, mine are green, the tracks in the original file are blue, I’ve added track pads and teeth and reshaped the track a little, the end product will have a metal drivers cab roof that’s printed separately so as to be able to insert a driver, and I will have a seperate rear trap cover so it can be modelled on or off. At the same time as designing the Hungarian version, I’ll also be adding or changing detail to be more scale appropriate. To get to where I am I had to hollow the original design as it was solid, and add an interior, not sure how it will print, but excited to find out.
Hi guys
I’m about done with the build part of these Pz IVDs and Es, next step will be undercoating black, on another note, I’m trying to learn CAD, so as to be able to make these kinds of changes on the computer before printing, have been designing a Hungarian Sdkfz 11, will do a post regarding that soon.
Hi guys
I’ve printed up some Pz IV Ds and Es, I’m very grateful for all the efforts of the designers of these STLs, however due to being designed for smaller scales often the details are chunky, there was also a slight error with the D turret side hatches, 2 door instead of 1, I didn’t notice this error until after I had printed, so to fix I removed and printed the door on its own, cut off the 2 doors, and glued the single door on, I drilled the barrels, and replaced the coaxial MG, I will also replace the hull MG, then add stowage, they will be painted as DaK vehicles for a friend.
