Bonaparte

Bonaparte from the anime "New dominion tank police". I've always loved the tank and the humor surrounding it in the series ever since seeing it in my youth and started watching anime, but could never get my hands on any of the models at the time or now and seeing as no one else has created one I decided to make my own fan art version for myself and relive my own nostalgia. It's as accurate as I can manage given it's different in nearly every darn scene. Consists of main body as a whole with some variants, body split into main body for moving minigun, minigun, light dome, turret and hatch. Optional side box (Some episodes have it missing some don't). 3 different types of full tracks based on the ones seen in the anime and seperate track treads and wheels for customization. Comes with round horn (as based on reference image early bonaparte) but has seperate flat sided horn verion also. Yes I know my paint job sucks, I ran out of paints (and to buy the correct colours at this point in time for a test print would have cost a small kingdom) so I resorted to using my daugthers dried up old paints. Test prints shows no problems, other than the printer I had access to really sucks at building supports and overhangs that come off cleanly (and my dumb ass for forgetting to set fill on the tracks to 100% and breaking off parts removing the supports on full body test print). Disclaimer, A few people have raised problems when 3d printing, some slicers are reading errors inthe mesh, some are reading points and walls instead of solid surfaces and some resin printers are failing. This is likely due to the thin nature of some surfaces to get an accurate look on the tank. some parts print best with 100% fill and raft with minimal supports and others print better a certain way up i.e the tracks print best with pegs facing downwwards. I will be reworking some of the meshes that people have had issues with and uploading them as soon as possible.
