Dodge WC-63s

I had already tried out a WC-63 that I had found on Thingiverse (link), but I wasn't happy with the way it turned out as it was quite low on it's wheels. Therefore when I found a very nice WC-53 I decided to modify it into a WC-63 and these are the results.

The original was scaled to 1/56 but as I was printing it to 1/76 some details were too fragile and had to be thickened up. It also came with a nice crewman, but is typically sculted in heroic style for Bolt Action and does look somewhat oversized for this vehicle.

Here is the original WC-53 Beep on Thingiverse (link)

M8 Howitzer Motor Carriage

My existing M8 HMC's come from a variety of sources and they are all very heavy as they are mainly metal and vary in size even if all of them are nominally 1/76. So I decided to purchase a very nice STL with full interior detail and a couple of crewmen.

Using both crewmen on each tank looked rather cluttered so I only added one to each, the others will be used on my other US armour.

Panzerwerfer 42

As I plan to gradually retire my diecast vehicles I was tempted by finding and STL file for the Panzerwerfer 42 or more correctly 15 cm Panzerwerfer 42 auf Selbstfahrlafette Sd.Kfz.4/1 (based on the Opel Maultier, or "mule", half-track). A couple of very clean prints in 1/76 scale.

They can also be re-configured as the 8 cm Raketen-Vielfachwerfer version

Hin und Zurück - Opel buses

Continuing the bus theme here are a couple more, but 3D printed German Opel buses this time.
Firstly one from 1940 advancing into France

and then retreating in 1944

Just take a bus part 1

Or more appropriately for anyone from a city you wait ages and then two turn up. A couple of extemporised transports for my 1940 French arny.

It's a Renault TN-6 bus as used in Paris in the 30s and actually used for transport. The basic model was a multicomponent set of STL files which I had to assemble first before 3D printing

It never snows in September - On the workbench

Yes it is the 80th anniversary of Market Garden so there is a themed build on "The Wargamers Forum" so it is the ideal time to get something suitable done, I will be travelling a bit but hopefuly it should disrupt the main task so I will work on:

• Assembling and painted four Horsa gliders
• 28mm ECW gun crew 3D printed - still inderway
• Continue working on heap of 3D printed vehicles
• Get the 3D Resin Printer going again to produce more stuff while the weather is good
• Start rebasing the Imperial Guard and other allied Guards

Swiss in the service of Napoleonic France rebased

Last of my September output a pair of Swiss battealions have been rebased and new command teams added.
