Epic Centaurs

These teeny tiny tanks are Epic scale Centaurs.  The Centaur is a tracked utility vehicle used by the Imperial Guard for scouting, supply and towing light artillery pieces.

These versions are modified as weapons carriers in the style of WWII Bren Carrier variants.  They come from designer Morteforte (Michael Withers).  I chose to use the multi-melta armed variant.

After cleaning up the resin prints, I undercoated them with Wilko grey spray primer.  The Humbrol 75 Bronze Green base coat was highlighted with Humbrol 86 light olive.  Camo stripes were painted on with a mix of 1/3 black, 1/3 matt varnish, 1/3 water.  Silver tracks and weapons received a wash of black ink and matt varnish.  A very light drybrush of dusty khaki/grey mix finished them off.

These really are tiny! I'm not sure whether to rescale them to 110% or 120% if I print some more or just leave them this size.


Even this small, they print with amazing detail.  I'm still really impressed at what such a cheap 3D printer can produce.
