Mike Costello

Land Rover forward control GS

Land Rover forward control GS

 Mike has just finished a 3D printed vehicle model of a Land Rover forward control GS, which consists of approximately 80 individual items when printed.  

Below you will see a couple of views of the unpainted printed components; plus, some of the build activity; followed by views of the finished model.


A synopsis of the build:


"This kit is a resin 3D model that has been downloaded as an STL file from Peter Harvey of https://phd-design-etchings.co.uk/ .  The components have been printed on an Anycubic Mono M5s which is a liquid resin printer.


As the model is produced as a set of STL (stereolithography) files they can printed to most of the popular scales, such as 1:76; 1:48: 1:35 and 1:24 scale.  I have chosen 1:24 scale for this build as much more detail can be shown at that larger scale."
