Military Vehicles

I've been printing out some Jeeps, trucks, Sherman tanks, and LCMs in 144 scale to accessorize my convoy ships. These vehicles are available on Thingiverse 1:200 Tanks and Vehicles - Pack 3 by m_bergman - Thingiverse and include tanks, amphibians, half-tracks, etc. They are mostly for WWII, but there is a set for WWI also. They are 1:200 scale when you download them, so you need to scale them by 1.389 to get 1:144 scale. I also rotate them so that they print wheels down.

The details are impressive, down to the little man in the driver's side of Jeep, spare tires, gas cans, etc.

 

Shoot... I'm interested in building a convoy ship for transport like the LST. I just think they're cool and that is what I would build.

 

Sherman Firefly, Opel Blitz, Jeep, LCM....hmmm no Type 97?

 

I got the file, now how do I scale them up.

 

If you are using a program like Slic3r, you set the scale to 139.

 

I thought that what I had to do but just wasn't sure. Thanjs

 

These are what every LST needs on deck.
