That looks very good. How did you make it? The old-fashioned way from plastic card, strip etc. or 3D-printed as well?

On page 1, there is picture (with experimental part, there for real is another one) of finished plate on cnc router machine. I bought machine last month. Windows are 3d printed from transparent resin. And "rubber" sheet is from thin aluminium.

Ah, yes, I see it now. Was it made on that machine, then?

Thank You Sir. Part of me in real life is mould and die engineer.

That explains the use of the CNC machine … not something most of us would consider for modelling, I suppose

Sack on right side of turret 3d modeled. Now to make one 3d printed. Fine details are oversized because 3d print will eat them on right size and oblique (''Mouth'' and ''Ears'' of sack).

Amazing.

Some says cousins, but BVP-M80 is more like french AMX-10 than BMP-1. In line with back, BMP-1 is longer (and wider), but very less confortable for personel than BVP-M80.

For now:

• ATGM launchers for 9M14M ''Maljutka'' 3d modeled. Note that some extra small parts details, that in 1/35 are too small are not modeled exact (details of handles etc, that in 1/35 are cca 0.05 - 0.1 mm detailed). Total lenght of launching rails is cca 25 mm.
• And vehicle pictures of 3d model almost finished.
