WW2 D-8 Armoured Bulldozer

thingiverse

This is a remix of ThatEmuGuy's outstanding 3D file. I reworked it to enhance print durability, \r\nNote that even with reinforced exhaust stacks, mine still broke during support material removal. As a result, I revised the files and added a 3mm wide recess in the hull along with a separate exhaust stack. I replaced a piece of 3mm brass tubing for my test print; what you see is the substitute, but your file will yield better results.\r\nNote that the tracks feature supports at the base, while exposed idler wheels are positioned at the top. I created recesses to facilitate assembly, intentionally leaving them loose. Epoxy application is recommended for assembling these parts. As depicted in the photo, I elevated the blade during assembly using thin wood pieces; CA glue secured this component, which will nestle into support arms perfectly.\r\nhttp://www.militarymodelling.com/news/article/armoured-dozer-d8/19166\r\nThis unit isn't featured in any Bolt Action theatre books that I'm aware of, but it merits representation; you can still utilize it as a terrain piece for beach landings in Western Europe or the Pacific, or employ house rules allowing it to clear obstacles and wire.
