Whatever happened to the 3D printed Patriot Battery idea?

Post by av8rmongo »

What happened, does anyone know? The prototype seemed pretty far along in the development process and it would have been cool.

It has been produced, well the launcher has. It is currently in metal, sitting on my desk.

Gamecraft has produced a Patriot Battery in metal 1/285th scale as well as HET and Trailor I just got some and I have to say they are so close in quality and detail that I have no prob using them with my GHQ stuff...

Thanks for the pictures, it looks good. I just ordered a couple, one for 3-color NATO pattern and one for desert. I also ordered a few of his logistics conversion kits as well.

You are so welcome. That project was a real labor of love and a huge learning experience. I've always had tons of respect for GHQ and the products they produce but after trying to produce something of comparable quality to their stuff, I have even more respect for what they do.
