Enn'llien SteamTank (ANBG Bucking Gustav) miniature for RPG

thingiverse

In a Pathfinder RPG campain, i'm playing a Half-elf Gunsligner/gunsmith and inventor named Enn'll Nothridge who's life work is to create a serie of steam powered medieval mobile artillerie ( in other words, tanks) which are named after him. This one is from my "All New Big Gun" series and NOW we are getting serious, it is equiped with a huge canon so big i had to double the rear axels, then double the rear wheels so the tank can pivot backward on the rear wheels to absorb the recoil of the shot, making it look like a bucking beast, which explains it's name "Bucking Stalion" or affectionately the "bucking Gustav" due to the inspiration i got from the Schwerer Gustav. the platform as been reinforced with 6 additionnal pillars and changes to the shape of the body. The high roof railings help keeping the canon crew onboard after shooting, although i admit it would be a wild ride, and not a good one. (Sadly Game Master will never even allow it to be made in our campain) DO NOT glue the canon and canon quoin down, at this scale you can click them down but keep them unglued to change the canon angle. BASIC PRINTING INSTRUCTION FOR EACH PART ARE IN THEIR NAME FOLLOWING THIS LOGIC: [model name (base if common to most][part name][helpful assembly info, mostly left or right][ (need support) if needed][how many are needed if more then 1] ex: Base_driverod(need_support)_print(X2) if you want you can connect all axels except the front directional one with 4 loops of string (on the inside and outside edge of the wheels on both side) to replicate the chains that would act like tank treads in rough terrain AND add more string to connect each side of the front axel to the direction pulley under the tank. (the upper rear wheels should not be in the chain loop as they are sitting on so much leaf blade springs that the suspention travel would make the chain fall all the time.) To avoid overcrowding the table during play, the models aren't to scale with 30mm miniatures, they are scaled down to 1:88 (a normal 176cm person next to the model would be 2cm high, i've just saved you the trouble of calculating that if you were wondering ;p )
