Stapfen Panzer

thingiverse

Well, I'd had 2 misprinted ED 209 legs and a body from my attempts at making my own ED, and then the Panzer Zug print showed up. And in my best Grün voice: LIGHTBULB! A gear krieg inspired panzer 4 walker/pod! The gun is a 1/350 scale 45mm Yamato cannon in aluminum, which I also had lying around. **Instructions** Stop ED 209 torso print before you reach the armor cowling. You want only the engine to print. Stop ED 209 leg print just above the knee joint. If you wish to recreate the walking pose used, allow one print to continue about 5mm higher. Make sure to both support and raft the Panzer Zug half, as this will give a surface to attach the legs. Scale your iron cross to a suitable size for your base. **Assembly** The bottom section of the ED 209 engine glues to the rear of your armored box. When gluing the legs, glue the longer leg further back on the (still intact... you did keep it intact, didn't you?) raft. This gives you the forward stepping pose. If you're not an insane modeler and don't have a collection of turned barrels handy for projects, you could use a styrene rod, a chopstick, a brass tube, or hell, there's Panzer barrels on Thingiverse - find one and print it yourself!
