M11/39

thingiverse

This is a remix of m_bergman's 1/200 scale M11/39 model, up-scaled to 1/100 for 15mm wargaming. The original model is a good one in terms of silhouette, but it's a little chunky, to print reliably in that smaller scale. I've added and refined details such as rivets and the like, and I've created new, more highly-detailed running gear. There are two versions of the hull: one whole, and one split into two — the split version prints better, in my experience, but you do need to take care in alignment when gluing the two halves together. I print on a glass bed, which gives me perfectly smooth gluing surfaces. The turret plug can be located exactly on the turret by sliding it down a small dowel (I use an old paintbrush) lodged in the socket in the turret base. When the glue sets, the dowel can be taken out. There's a larger socket at the bottom of the turret plug to accommodate a 5x1mm magnet.
