This is the model of a British Mark IV Tank (with some details from a Mark V) from World War 1.
There are some parts missing, like the unditching bar and its rails, for simplified printability. I left out the gun barrels too, to add them later with some material from the workshop.
I separated the Tank into four parts. I don´t like the quality from my supportmaterial connected faces, so i tried to avoid support. For that reason, i cut the hull in half and turned the lower hull upside down. The cut line is not exactly horizontal, but from the tip of the nose to a flat area in the back.
I added four pins, to help in glueing the parts together. These pins are cut in half too and lie flat on the bed. For some reason two pins are not connected with the hull, but it works without them. They end up inside holes underneath the track parts.
This model is based on „psychotron“s 2008 „mark IV“ from the Sketchup 3D-Warehouse. All credits for the base model go to him.
