"ODIN" Main Battle Tank

thingiverse

I wanted to take on something more challenging for my next project, so one of the issues that bothered me about certain tanks in 40k was their lack of suspension or ground clearance. Something that looked realistic was a top priority. There are two versions of the hull and tracks included - the V2 set is slightly lower because I couldn't decide which one I preferred. Only one hull weapon has been added so far, but I will update it once I've had a chance to experiment with some more designs. If you print it out, please let me know how it turns out - I'd love to see your versions. Update 23/4/20 A version of the lowered hull with no fenders has been added, along with attached them to the tracks instead to fit on an Elegoo Mars without an odd orientation. This should make printing a little quicker. They have been included in the zip file. Update 25/04/20 A support plate has been added to the track sides as they worked fine when printed flat to the plate but were a bit wobbly when printed upright. I included location pegs and some escape hatches to cover the holes. The tracks should still print okay flat on the build plate, but they will probably need supports for the road wheels to the print bed. Added a few details to the top of the hull, and tidied up the zip file with just the latest hull and tracks. Update 10/5/20 After playing around with it a bit, I decided to see if it's possible to add a sponson. With the addition of some armour plate, yes it is! Mirror the armoured tracks to get a full set - I haven't added them to the zip yet. I plan on adding the uparmored turret and turret with stowage when they're finished.
