Your painting and aging is incredible. Top tier work! And you just gave me an itch to start printing some Tank shells.

Fantastic for film, theatre and museums and private displays. Great work, your painting is amazingly well done.
I really love my 3D printer, one of the best things I ever bought...

I'm 3D printing the biggest Airfix kit of my life, it's a 2100mm high full size Robby the Robot from the movie Forbidden Planet. A full size Robby is something I've wanted since I saw the movie as a child and 3D printing has made it happen.

I got a friend that I gave my egg grenade too and he made measurements and copied them fairly well, i mostly like to try and be hands on, I used spray can caps, taped them together and painted them, to make a stick bundle grenade, but used a replica for the center main grenade, looks good on camera lol

Good idea, I reckon also magazines for pouches, just for fillers. I've been ok with aging replica weapons but I reckon the challenge for me if I were to get a 3d printer would be the painting, still it's a good idea and a cheaper way of creating a display

I just thought that it would be really cool to print ordinance to use for reenactment purposes. Maybe using real wood and ball bearings to try to give it the correct weight/weight distribution.
