Description
The Gepard Mk. 1 is an alternative to the durable and deadly Leopard-class aerodyne dropship. Here reproduced in 1/285 (mech) scale and compatible with Battletech or any other 6mm science fiction wargame, this dropship requires minimal assembly and features an FDM printed body and separate turret printed in resin. This is version 2, which has been scaled up overall from 8.6″ first version, features taller doors (1.8″ tall, as opposed to the previous version’s 1.45″ doors), includes removable (magnetic) landing gear and separated wingtips and thrusters for better printing. An Atlas would still bump it’s head on the way out the doors, but this is a scrappy merc’s dropship, not some luxurious Fortress!
We’ve posted a walkthrough of a Gepard Dropship (version 1) build. Since this log was written, some changes have been made, but those will be covered in a different log, as most of the steps are the same. Check the tutorial out,
