Based on a concept from 1936 Popular Science magazine this ball tank never got made in real life, but could fit neatly to a weird war campaign. It works like a mobile bunker and for breaking enemy lines. Check page 37 of the magazine that introduced it for a writeup and cutaway illustration of the tank.
Notes:
- The model is in 1/100 (15mm) scale, compatible with games like Flames of War. If you want to use it with 28mm miniatures (1/56, games like Bolt Action) scale the model to 178.57%
- The flat file is designed for easy printing on FDM printers and can be printed without supports.
- Some details (mainly the bolts) are lost when FDM printing at the default (15mm) scale. They are left for people wanting to scale the model up or resin printing.
- If "download all" option doesn't work (a recent issue with thingiverse), you have to download each file separately from the "Thing Files" menu.
