    Tamiya 1/35 Renault UE Carrier - finally completed

    This has taken a long time to complete - the 3D printing has taken over the benchtime, like working on computers, it takes sucks time & your attention away................Click image for larger version

ID:	1195516............... I will be returning to the bench, and spend less time on the printer!
    The Renault is a nice little model, the fit is excellent & no problems in assembly - it is rather dull, and it really needs putting in a diorama to bring out the best.
    The paved road base is the first 3D printed part I've actually used in a model, and I hope to use a few more in the future - it does have limits in that the build plate is limited to roughly 200mm x 200mm.
    Thanks for dropping by - I'm off to the stash to see if anything leaps out and screams "Me Me Me!"

    Looks good Dave. Nice to see the fruits of your 3D printer in use.

                Top finish Dave and as the others have said, the base really sets this little fella off nice!!! It doesn't take up a lot of space either in a dio. I just hope a Tiger II doesn't come along and run the poor tiny thang over though.......Great job Sir!!!...

                Prost

                    That's turned out very nicely indeed. The base really does add to it and has turned out very nicely.

                    Do you think there is any danger of the base warping over time?

                    Again very well done.

                    Andrew

                      Time will tell, I think it will degrade gradually, but if it gets bad, I can always print another!

                              Gonna show my ignorance of 3d printing now, but what causes it to degrade ?
