Thought I’d move this build across to the new forum.
Quick update on my own design & 3D printed “kit” of the Australian Bushmaster protected mobility vehicle that I’m building in 1/16. Longest single print thus far has been over ten days (221 hours).
Very nice build so far! looking forward to more!
This is great! About how much is 3-D printed and how much is scratch built?
Thanks! You can get a printer for as little as $200, with CAD software available as freeware. So, easy to get started.
Its all coming together! 
Very nice. Did you ever finish your M113 with T50 turret?
Mal
G’day Mal,
No - the running gear was a problem. Now that I can CAD & print things like swing arms, I’ll be able to finish it.

Hi Greg
Cool. I aspire to that, got Fusion 360, but need to learn how to use it. Keep finding other things to do.
Mal
Nice. Presumably static, rather than RC?
Mal
G’day Mal, yep 100% static. Apart from a whole different problem set, design-wise, RC never caught my interest.
Hi Greg
Cool, most often detailed interiors indicate static, but there are exceptions, one such - M-113A1 Medium Recon Vehicle - Australian Army 1980s - build - RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum -

Hi, do you have the files to download this so I could print it at home or how do I do what you’re doing? I have looked so long for this model and yours is the best I’ve come across.
Good work bro, looks fantastic.
Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words.
I generally don’t release my files for printing as I only do them to my satisfaction. The Bushmaster was my first CAD project, so it’s a bit rough!
If you’re up for a challenging build, there’s the Showcase Models 1/35 kit that’s still able to be found.
Cheers
