I did post this WIP in the Thread about Toys already. Made the barrel articulation, it locks in 3 positions. Haven't done much since then, instead of focusing on the turret, next week I'm gonna print few parts of the main hull. Want to finally see how big it really is in comparison to figs. Tank is in 1/12 scale.
>>11716679I was curious how 3D sculpting works, tried it for the first time, and damn, I need to replace my tablet. Buttons on the pen are not working so I could not rotate the camera in a more convinient way. So the process was pretty clunky, but I'm happy with the result, it's doable. Far in the future, I want to do my own collection of 1/24 - 1/18 scale Metal Slug action figures. YoloPark is doing something close to what I want to do, but I'm not a big fan of their sculpts.
Wanted to make a cartoony Judge Dredd. So combined these two. Think it gives it a bit more character
