Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis

Another option, probably not the cheapest one (and you’ll still have some conversion work to do though…) :

New equipment must be tested in real combat conditions. So it was in Syria, so it is in Ukraine.

The Mamba’s grandpa, the Buffel (buffalo) is still been used around the world. Maybe they could use the G6 Rhino for rapid deployment arty?

Everyone was talking about how RF sent 2nd & 3rd tier into the Ukraine 1st.

Obliviously they are alot older.
But these guys just have a different look. More like ghost of Russians past…

Maybe the sunken T-72 was commanded by a veterinarian (:ox:) and his novice screw with rudimentary training…2-300 km on the vehicle…never fired the gun…

Reference…YouTube :ukraine: journalist interviews with :ru:POWs…
These are illuminating to say the least…

And the weather is warming up now, so not much cold weather gear being seen in the latest photos.

Hi Sean,
Do you know if this model is downloadable in more 3D printer-friendly format like OBJ or STL?

Kind regards,
James

I would guess not because I believe this type of model is stitched together from 3D scanned images but I really have no idea, sorry. You might try contacting the author for more information.

Meh,
My beast sits in the garage mostly now. Last fill up hit $70 and I use 89 Octane. We don’t have 93 or at least I have not found it.

Oh nice cars :+1:

Cheers

OK, I’ve contacted the designer and let’s see what he says. Well, he saved the 3D T-72 model in FBX format, which can be converted into OBJ or STL format for 3D printing at his end, so it should be doable if he provides the appropriate perimeters in the CAD software. The question is whether he’ll make that available to me - who knows?

Kind regards,
James

I’m tempted to get the Zvezda Terminator…it not that much and would hopefully be on a par with the Pantsir I had.

I guess you got the Terminator 2 which is now present in the Ukraine.
I built the early one and was happy with it. You can have a look at it at my site.

The Ukrainian artist gave me the 3D printable file within an hour of contacting him!
Check out these nice screenshots from the CAD:
