Hi friends! I have a couple of things to show you.
On the one hand, 'REPTILE' AFV 6x6, an alternative armoured car with a hard Sci-Fi aesthetic designed for resin 3D printers with several weapons options. It is available on our website:

In the other hand, a new Kickstarter project: the last version of the Upgraded Lost Settlements, with new stretch goals as craters, hills and swamps for FDM 3D printers.

I wish you like it!! and thank you for reading!

Honestly, I'm not seeing much 'hard SF' in that design. It's covered in rivets and concave surfaces, which reduce both protection and stealth. Looks like a flat-bottomed hull (i.e. vulnerable to mines and IEDs). It doesn't seem to have any form of drone defense or other active countermeasures, and no missiles. There are no rear and side view cameras. Front window instead of periscopes or cameras. The exhausts look more dieselpunk than modern. It might have been hard SF in the 1960s, but now it's distinctly retro.
Not that retro-sf is a bad look. I'm a big fan of raygun gothic and cassette futurism. It will work fine for a lot of settings, including 40k. It just doesn't look like a realistic extrapolation of current trends and reasonable speculation about near-future technology.

Strange, so many 6x6s coming out this month

Really... you are right. Maybe I was wrong using the term "hard", now I see it. I tried to say that is not a "gothic" Sci-Fi or that kind of things of the Warhammer 40k world, and I used the wrong term. I take note about your comments!!
About the drone defense and that kind of things, well... there will be a Kickstarter for vehicles, and you will see that kind of things :-)

Thank you for comment!
