A series of historically inspired WW1 tank replica models designed through direct CAD modeling using real-world reference imagery and dimensional research. The project focused on translating historical vehicles into accurate, printable assemblies while optimizing segmentation, printability, and manufacturability for 3D-printing workflows. Models emphasize correct dimensional proportion, component symmetry, and detail-oriented design practices throughout iterative prototyping to ensure both visual fidelity and reliable print results.
FT-17 Renault (France): Widely regarded as one of the first modern tank designs, the French FT-17 introduced the fully rotating turret layout still seen in tanks today.
Char 2C (France): The French Char 2C was one of the largest tanks ever built, representing an ambitious early attempt at heavily armored breakthrough vehicles following WW1.
