Finished the rivets and the underside.

Now to find a UK-based printing service!

Looks great EC! Are these just for personal use or will you open to offers for them?

Will they be FW’s slight smaller scale or have you just made them the same size as the GW epic LR sponsons? GW sponsons would probably look a bit oversized and out of place on the FW tanks IMO and it would be better to produce them just a smidge smaller, in line with the rest of the model.

They're designed to match the FW tanks in size.

Be sure to look for a service that provides SLA service - that tends to have higher resolution than some forms of 3D printing.

I'm still trying to find a reasonably priced service in the UK (I might end up ordering from Print-A-Part in the USA!).

I also still don't have access to a metal caster.

Looks great - A potential synergy with Otter Corp. might be a good way to develop future projects? :D

I wonder if the rivets will come out ok - hasn't Otterman had problems with them before (so he has to over emphasise them)? Or am I talking nonesense? :D

I made the rivets bigger than the 0.2mm which Otterman says is the minimum practical size when using Print-A-Part.
