Battle Bus APC Tank Destroyer

Battle Bus APC Tank Destroyer 3D print model

Description

Intended for 3d print.

Three variants of armored car. Two APC-style vehicles and one more akin to a tank destroyer or self-propelled artillery. Intended primarily for 28mm scale tabletop games, but can be printed at smaller scales. Depending on the quality of your printer, they may or may not work at 6mm scale.

Designer's notes

The following section is information about the design process, what the idea behind the models were and why they turned out the way they did, et cetera. It is not strictly speaking something you as a customer need to know, but you may find it interesting.

This model kit was a quick sideproject I whipped together while working on an Italian WW2 Autoblinda model. The whimsically namedbattle buses are basically an Autoblinda car body, with its turret sunk into the back section of the body, turning the turret into a driver's cabin. The tank destroyer version of the battle bus was made using the same method, but instead of an Autoblinda turret I used the substantially larger turret of a soviet KV2 tank. All in all, designing the battle buses took me about 15 minutes...

While these are borderline joke models, they do still function perfectly fine as generic tabletop personal transports or mechanized artillery. You could use them as the products of some more obscure STC blueprint in the grim darkness of the far future, or maybe as armored cars in some alternate reality-themed WW2 tabletop wargame.

There is plenty of room on the models for further customization. There are spare tires and jerry cans included in the kit you can use as decoration, and the roofs of the models are perfect places to mount turrets. Incidentally, Sharedog Miniatures sells numerous tank turret you can purchase as separate products on this site.

The models prints one-piece and require no assembly. They are currently not pre-supported, but if you need help adding supports to the models I can help you with it free of charge - just send me a request.
