Mk.IV Interior 3D Model - Work In Progress

Peter T · General

Hi Sean

There aren’t so much positive reactions up to now (I know that from my own 3d project) to your model here. As I am not so familiar with the Mk. IV I can’t judge your work in detail. But as I am doing 3d constructions as well, I can see that you have done a very fine job with your program. What program are working with?

May be you will scroll down a bit and you will see some similar approaches that might be inspiring…

Keep up your good work!

Cheers,

Peter

Sean,

Very nice work you are doing there, are you going to 3D print it?

Cheers,

Hi Peter

Thank you for the compliments, I very much appreciate it as I am trying to create an accurate interior for an Mk.IV tank. I am using a free open-source program called Blender, it is quite easy and intuitive to use, as well as this, there are a lot of resources that can help you get started with the program, such as free tutorials.

Hope this helps a lot!

Cheers,
Sean

Hi Chris

Yes, I do intend to 3D print it using resin, the interior is designed for an Mk.IV takom male. Obviously, you might need to do a little bit of work before you can start applying the interior pieces by cutting out holes in the main frame.

Cheers,
Sean

Hi

Nice job done, I love it!

Do you sell the STL?

Hi Sean,

That looks absolutely great! I look forward to seeing the final print fitted inside the Takom model.

With kind regards,

Hello everyone! It has been awhile since I have posted some photos on how my project is coming along.

I am proud to say it is going quite well, as I am now focusing on rivet details and the main sponsons.

I am also considering if I should make a female version as well, since the model's interior will be quite different due to the machinegun ammo boxes.

That is looking really good. I wish I could get something with that detail in 1/76!

Progress update, mostly been riveting the hull, as well as getting all the bolts correct and whatnot (Still a lot of details missing).

Oh my! That's awesome.

Hi all! Quite a bit of time has past since I posted my last update! New photos!

Peter T · General

I do not want to repeat myself, but this ia absolute tremendous work you are showing here! BTW. are you going to offer it for sale one time (There is still a little voice in the back of my mind that making me firmly believe that I will do a Freikorps Beute Tank one day... )?

Hello once again Peter!

While this is currently a passion project, I do eventually want to try making my own kits as many people have emailed me and messaged me about it being on sale. However, It probably wont be a full exterior kit but rather an upgrade kit for specific brands.

As for production of said kits, I have a couple of resin printers at home I use for prototyping some of my other projects which could be put to use for making these interior kits. As for shipping, I got no clue.

However, I did hear about takom re-releasing their WW1 kits with new molds, but I am unsure about the legitimacy of these claims. Nevertheless, it is good news for WW1 armor modellers!

Best regards,
Sean
