Little Willie. World war 1 tank prototype

thingiverse

Little Willie, the first of its kind. This is a model of the first tank, built in Britain in about 1915 to help end the stalemate of trench warfare of World War 1. 3D modelled in Blender from reference photos. This model comes in 4 pieces, Hull, tracks (x2), and front plate, (tracks and front plate will need to be glued into place) and can be scaled to whatever size you need. Ideal for wargaming, diorama's or as a display model. As a rough guide if you print the hull to 80mm long it will be about 1/60th scale Little Willie was a prototype and never went into active service, it was also never armed although it was going to be given a turret with a machine gun but that was never fitted, this is why there is a large raised circle on the roof. Little Willie was classed as a "Landship" and was painted battleship grey. There is only one of these tanks left, it is in the Tank Museum in Bovington, Dorset. Thanks, Enjoy!
