Great work on the Maybach HL42 very nice, I don’t suppose you would have a similar model of the HL120? Or HL108?
Thank you
Thank you! Nope I don't have the other models
Hi, I've downloaded the US jerrycans, you are an amazing talent and thank you for sharing the files. Just a couple of points, if you may, the jerrycans, should have U.S.A. on one side and Q.M.C. on the other, also they are slightly large for 1:35 scale. I hope this can help. You are an amazing talent!
hello, thank you for your work about 1/32 SCALE MARSTON MAT FLAT BOTTON . Are PSP perforated ? thank you . regards
Hello there. What is 'PSP'?
Hello,
Would you be able to model a 1/35 scale US WW2 stretcher?
Thank you, Alain.
What is the difference from a German stretcher?
Hi. a friend of mine printed me a few of these tow rope ends, unfortunately they are not 1:35 scale, i.e. they are not similar in size to what manufacturers provide, e.g. Tamiya, they are a litle bit larger. Can they be rescaled? Bartek, Poland
Yes, they can be re-scaled in the slicer app that prepares the stl for printing. I would re scale them in several sizes to better fit your needs.

Do you know anyone in the Ohio area that can print your files , I don't have a printer or access to one , specifically the vickers k gun magazines and biscuit box , thank you
Hello there. Unfortunately I don't know. When you download the files, there are some businesses advertising their printing services in that page. You might want to check them out.
Hello, i own a 3d business and i was wondering if i could print and sell your stuff? i can give you a commission?
Hello there. Thank you for asking, but I must decline your offer. I created my designs for my own work and to share with the modeling comunity for free.
Thank you for sharing your designs. They are great.
Just for references for folks downloading thank you for your designs
Hello, Could You send any references photos of M-249 Tractor recovery vehicle?
Hello there. There is only one photograph of this type of vehicle. It was created from the Atomic Annie tractor and the crane components of a M-51 heavy tank recovery vehicle. It was bought as surplus by a French company and put together. I had a chance to communicate with the original photographer and he said that was the only picture he took back in the 90s. I have a bunch of reference in my facebook page if you are interested. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.9172150482827165&type=3
Thank You, I noticed that You did conversion for 1/32 scale model, but what item it is?
It's the Revell Atomic Annie tractor. here is a sample of the model. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165467361376
Thank You. Have You any info about other use M-249, e.g. a tractor truck for other purposes?
I researched the M-249 for 3 years and found only one other non-military image. It was the most obscure vehicle I have ever researched and mostly found it's military use with atomic annie. This kit forum mentioned the use of the M249 for the Jonet Transportation company from Belgium using military surplus tractors. Hope this helps! https://forums.kitmaker.net/t/what-heavy-tractors-do-after-retirement/6969
Greetings, I would like to know what configuration you used for the 50 cal belt at 1/35, it only comes out rigid and I am not able to bend it.
Sincerely: Fernando
Hello there. After is printed, go through a 20 min isopropyl alcohol wash. Do not cure it with UV light yet. The piece will be very rubbery and you should be able to bend it to the shape you want. When you are ready cure it with an UV flash light or leave it to cure for a couple of days in the position you wish. Hope this helps and good luck!
tank you
Hello Friend, I just wanted to say Thank you for sharing your designs. I am a model maker and have no clue how to design CAD and 3D. So, I can only enjoy what others have designed. However, not everyone is generous with their talents and many will create “one off” model or a creations and show how good they are.
Thank you so much for letting me be part of this 3D industry without the know how. Have a wonderful rest of the week. Take care!!
Mike
Hello there. Thank you for the complements! I made all these designs for my own projects and love to share them with the modeling community. Don't let the 3D world intimidate you, I didn't know 2 yrs ago and learned using free Tinkercad.com. Also resin printers are very affordable and easy to use. It will save you lots of $$$ on modeling accessories. If you have any questions don't hasitate to ask! Best wishes, Ricardo
Hello Ricardo,
I appreciate your offer to help out with 3D curve. I will keep it in mind. I will look into the website you mentioned (Tinkercad) and see what I can learn. One thing you are right about saving $$ in our hobby. I just spoke with a friend how purchased a 3D printer and he printed 1/16 Tracks that he purchased a file here. After third try it was about $17 worth of resin he used. That is cheap.
Again, thank you for your kindness. Not many these days go out of their way and share things for free. Take care and have a blessed week.
Mike
what angle do you print wheels at? i cant seem to get any thing to print. im at a loss and getting quite angry.
45 degree angle
Thank you, did you use light, med, or heavy supports?
median supports
thank you Raz
hey Razz what are the numbers you used to print the 20MM breda aa gun and mount? did you use .5, .02?
Hello there, I used exposure time: 3.5 sec, at layer height: .04mm. Resin:1.100 . Hope this helps.
Working on it learning it all im trying to learn fusion 360 ATM getting there but still alot lot learn
Hi, would you be able to try the muzzle break for Tamyias m51 sherman please?
Hello there. I would go to ali express. I've ordered from them before with no problem. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804302840679.html?pdp_npi=2%40dis%21USD%21%2418.00%21%2410.26%21%21%21%21%21%402101c5bf16861891533015055edf0a%2112000029335363068%21btf&_t=pvid%3A8c9bce53-dc6d-46dd-bb89-25321f91583d&afTraceInfo=1005004489155431__pc__pcBridgePPC__xxxxxx__1686189153&spm=a2g0o.ppclist.product.mainProduct&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
My apologies, I didn't realized about the muzzle brake. I use Tinkercad for my designs, super simple 3d tool to use. Unfortunately I don't make parts for individuals, but I would suggest to learn how to use it. When I first started I had no idea how to create anything. I took the basic lessons they provide and now if I need something for my models, I just design it and resin print it.
Hi,
I love your 3D designs! very good work. Have you ever think about making a IDF M50 super sherman turret? I think people would buy it (me too). Or you know where to find it?
Thanks in advance.
Hello there. thank you for the compliment! I use Tinkercad and only capable of doing simple designs. Turret would be too difficult.
I think DEF Models makes the M-50 turret.
Thanks for the info. Unfortunatelly I cannot find the DEF Models M50 turret anywhere!!!
what software did you use to make this?
Tinkercad on the web https://www.tinkercad.com
how do you make it with the shapes and stuff, i guess i dont really understand how to use tinkercad
Tinkercad has basic lessons you can take. Start practicing with easy shapes and you'll get there.
Hello. But ever made the engine for the 220?
No I haven't
I printed the Maybach engine and It Is very nice. I'll post some photos soon. Did You make that for the 220 (Horch 3.8l/8-cylinder) as well?
Hello there. The engine is a HL42 for the sdkfz 250, 251, 11, Demag and sWS.
For the 1:48 Marston mat pieces, did you use a 4mm nozzle or smaller? Im currently using a 0.4 and the circles are too small on the bed. It causing some to pull up and not stick. Im thinking about using 0.2 mm nozzle but just wanted to touch base with you to see what you used. Thank you.
Hello there. The mat was made with a resin printer. A resing printer properties can be adjusted for detail work like the mat. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with printers with nozzles. Sorry.
Hi,
Many thanks for all your desings. They are amazing and uncommon. First time I saw the stretchers and the amunitions belt.
Best Regards
Thierry
