3Dprinted 15mm U.S. WW2 Vehicles

This is the next batch of selfmade vehicles. All of them were printed with our Anet A8 3D printer. For gaming pieces the quality is pretty good, compared to my Battlefront and Plastic Soldier Company tanks and halftracks their quality is not so good anymore.

But to be honest, I like them very much, because this 3D printing stuff offers almost endless possibillities even with a very low cost printer like ours.
With some stuff from the bitsbox and some paint they look alright to be used on the battlefield.

Two M8 Greyhound wheeled recon tanks, take from this pack. As you can see, the wheels are not printed properly. But when they are on the table, they look nice. We use it for our custom TANKS scenarios which sometimes need some NPCs.

Not only the German forces used halftracked AA vehicles, this two are in U.S. service.

On the left side is a M15 halftrack (find it here), equipped with a 40mm bofors in the center flanked by a 0.5 cal browning on each side. The stl file was created for 28mm but I tried my best to rescale it to 15mm.

On the right side is a M17 halftrack, from this excellent collection. when I printed the quad Browning 0.5 cal. gun, I cut the machine guns apart from the tower and glued them back in a new angle.

For both vehicles the front bumper, the crew, some bits and the tracks (only the M15's) were taken from the PSC M3 kit, the front wheels are copies of the wheels from the same kit, made with instant mould and milliput.

The guns in detail. I did not much to them after printing, but I had to replace the barrels with plastic rods for a better look.

Thes two AA units will be used for some simple additional rules for TANKS, which we are writing at the moment. But this may take some time since the summer is coming.

This M7 Priest artillery tank came from the same source as the Greyhound tanks. The crew and some bits were taken from the PSC M3 kit. The (too) big barrel of the main gun was made from a tube of a Q-tip.

In the next few weeks I will have more time for posting, I finished a lot of stuff in the last time which I would like to show.
