This beautiful little 3d printed model of a Gaz AAA 6x4 truck was mistaken for a ZIS truck leading to a little embarrassment when it seemed to be undersized. The Gaz is smaller than the ZIS by design. I should have realized when its label noted AAA, presumably like batteries, the more As, the smaller it is :-)
But disaster struck and in this wild and wintery weather we are having it was blown out of my hand to smash on the driveway when I took it over to show Richard. Luckily we found all the parts, although it took three goes and Richard's eagle eyes.
Ouch!
The comparison that caused the angst.

3D beats resin any day
It looks great after its repairs! But I am not sure if it is a lucky truck :) May tend to roll ones a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think this fella is destined to be a token. But will have to be kept well away from command rolls.
