Claymore's AH AFVs: Take 2

[Claymore]

Sturmkanone Update:

The reject has been repurposed and we now have two Sturmkanones for the price of one - not really... it's still two for the price of two!

What I now have is a realistic initial Sturmkanone Ausf. A that represents the initial pre-production build which then allowed the amended and improved Ausf. B model to enter serial production. Full details will follow in the backstory once I have completed the project but I am now much happier with the way things are going - even though I am now left with two complete models when originally I was only looking at one. Suffice to say that the Ausf A model had a somewhat cumbersome 3-man crew of driver/gunner, loader and commander and a limited gun traverse whilst the more spacious Ausf B model split the driver and gunner functions with a more logical layout for the loader and commander and a more capable gun mount.

So, WIP pics of both the Ausf. A and Ausf B in their primer undercoat...

Great work on both - even if one is smaller than the other. What printer did you use?

Thanks, but I’m not sure what you mean by ‘even if one is smaller than the other.’  The Ausf. B is supposed to be the production version of the Ausf. A prototype and, consequently, they are indeed slightly different in shape and design - the most noticeable being the width of the fighting compartment, the positioning of the gun, added mud shoots, and a slight increase in track width - all of which will be covered in the final backstory.  Beyond these intentional differences, the models are exactly (to the mm) the same length and height.

Printer used, a very basic Creality K1.

WIN!   

They're both looking really good, by the way!

Thanks mate!
