New genet build for your viewing pleasure 'twas fun building it. Well, it was mostly blood, sweat and tears... All right, there was not much blood involved, but it was tedious. And worth every ill endured!For those who did not pay attention while reading the topic name... here is a bonus image of the big, brutish vehicle as it towers over my small, delicate hand.

Congratulations on building at a small scale. Wheels at 15mm can be a pain

Thank you.
The biggest hurdle were the laser flakes. All of the models I posted throughout the last two years are from the printshop run I did in 2016.
The big part (the roof with the sides) took the greatest hit. The wheels were hard, but they are dark, so the marker can touch them up whenever the need arises. The roof, it stays snowed in.
The small size of the vehicle goes hand in hand with the small plastic food packaging, like from the cheese, or fruits. I am thinking of making more 15mm vehicles for wargaming. If I can't store proper amounts of their bigger brethren, I can store the lil' ones at least.

When you use a laser printer, try using Krylon Clear to clear-coat it before working on it. It will reduce the flaking

I live in a third world country where "exotic" items are harder to find. On the internet it seems in USA it is around 15-25 USD per can. If I menage to find it in brick and mortar store I expect them to add 20-90% on top of it. It comes close to the cost of an entry level inkjet (here around 40-50 USD).
On a subject of inkjets... when you use waterglue, does it smudge the ink on the paper?

Not if you are careful.
That's another reason to clear coat, if you can find it. It helps protect the ink

I still draw breath! Had some obligations and minor health problems, so not much time left for hobbies. Glad I got time enough to get something done. Triplets are same scale as the previous one. I pictured them with the 30cm ruler to give people a sense of scale. The wheels... well, I planned to do the APV after, but the wheels and the wheel slots in the chassis kept me off. 12 of them is enough for some time. I like how they turned out.
