Cool! Always love seeing stuff like this before they got the idea of a tank figured out.

Thank you for your input and definitley interested in the railroad side too!  One of my friends is a huge train guy.  He does HO as well.   He is interested in some builds he may want me to do.  Any architectural stuff is very easy to do.  The only difficult things are shapes with mutiple curves and strange radial shapes.  For that you have to use "mesh" shaping and sculpting, which can be difficult.

I thought it may interst people to see what can be done with the tech nowdays.

I'm very interested, and thank you for sharing this. I looked at doing a 3D printed railroad locomotive in HO scale about a year ago. Between the learning curve for 3D modeling programs, and the limitations of the print media, I got bogged down and discouraged. Always a thrill to see success!

Good luck with your line of kits, although, seriously, in the Model Railroad "industry," resin kit manufacturers have never been a serious threat to the injected plastic industry. The resin builders have given us models we could never expect in injected plastic.

Thanks Carl!  I revamped it a bit.  However I made sure not to say where it was for sale from.  Plus I have none up for sale now anyhoo.  They're all gone. :D

Real nice, Cody, but be careful--FSM rather frowns on people advertising stuff for sale here. It peeves off their paying advertisers.

I want it to be clear I am not advertising. 

Just wanted to show you a kit that I made.  It was designed on the computer in a CAD 3D program.  I then had it 3D printed and made the instructions.  Its in 1/72 scale and I am very happy with the result.
