1/35 Aliens APC

UPDATE: I now have a matching dropship! See my Facebook group for info!

This is my 1/35 scale APC from the Aliens movie.

Assembled with the main gun stowed, its about 265mm long.

Its a fairly simple model, split into about 60 pieces to get the best print results for each part. The bulk of it can be printed on an FDM printer with a 200x200 print bed, but there are a number of small parts that would be ideally printed on a resin printer.

The parts are numbered in the order they appear in the instructions which can be downloaded here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~canison/APC/AliensAPCInstructionsV2.pdf

Some parts need multiples printed, and have x2 or x4 in the name for the quantity to print.

If you take care with the assembly, and use an M3 screw with washers on the main gun, it should be able to pivot and slide along the rails to go from the rear stwed position, to on top. The wheels can also be screwed on with M3 screws.

If thingiverse is playing up and doesnt download the parts in a zip file, you can get it here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~canison/APC/AliensAPCSTLs.zip

If you plan to print this bigger some of the parts wont fit on a 200x200 printer. I've split the relevant big parts to print a double sized version and made a couple of small tweaks to others to save some plastic if you want to print a jumbo one. You'll still need to download and resize the rest of the parts, but the split embiggened parts can be downloaded here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~canison/APC/2xAliensAPCSplitParts.zip

I'm also working on a matching 1/35 Dropship that this will fit into!

EDIT 9/3: Part #7 is meant to be different to #8, but it looks like i exported the same part twice. Have just uploaded the correct #7.

EDIT 13/3: the back of part #20 wasnt quite flat so may have had issues depending how you print it. Have flattened it now.
