Maybe I'll print these someday and make a limited resin run.

Would an APC version of the convenience chassis (the basis for my Arma and Urn) be well received?

My thoughts exactly. Make some good, relatively inexpensive proxies for a certain APC and I might by a couple of company's worth.

Something this size should cost somewhere around $2.50 to $3.

Rather than do a module, I would probably make the entire thing a single piece. In which case, shall I extend the track guards all the way back? Yes. Yes, I should.

Argh! Tankette plugin is too large! There must have been metal shrinkage during bronzing and spincasting.

I'll try to shave down the sides with my chisel scalpel.

i'd really love it to be a 2 piecer myself, i'm just a sucker for seperate turrets... (plus that makes "variant turret sprue" a much easier option)

actually, a 3 piecer would allow for the option of a flame tank varient aswell.

I'm sure you'll figure it out ... whether ... one or 2 pieces ... ;)
