Very interested to see how this turns out, I caught a ride in one of these when I was in East Timor in '99, the best thing about them was the Air conditioning!

Great work

Thanks for commenting. It certainly won’t be little, that’s for sure!

 

The Timor cars in 1999 were prototypes- three windows each side for the passenger compartment. Here’s a pic I took of those vehicles in Dili in 1999:

You could be inside, maybe?

Now that the major assemblies of the lower hull are together, I thought I’d put the increasingly hefty Bushmaster on the scales.

936 grams (33 ounces)! Wow. That suspension will be working pretty hard!

 

Overall, it’s starting to meet my expectations.

Started on the instrument panel design. Commander/gunner sits on the left, driver on the right.

I just discovered this thread now.  Went through the 5 pages.  Really fascinating and this is some great work! 

 

I'll be very curious to see how it comes out.

 

Keep up the good work! 

 

 

Thanks for taking the time to comment. It’s really starting to come together, thankfully!

Wow! Glad your week ended on an up note, and I’m looking forward to the next conjuring.

 

Cheers,  Tom

Thanks, Tom. 
 

This is the first time I’ve had a print that’ll last longer than a week. Every day increases the stress - prints are where I become a sunk cost fallacist. 
 

This print has 4,037 layers.

It also consumes almost all of a 500 gram/18 ounce roll of filament! 
 

Glad I’ve installed some sound proofing in the ‘production workshop’ under the stairs.
