05-M1A2_Abrams_Tank_16_scale_military_model

This is a 1:16 scale Display/Trade Show model of M1A2 Abrams tank equipped with performance enhancing applications.

In order to speed up the production and save money for our client we used a number of off-shelf parts, which were upgraded and modified to look worthy of a large scale trade show model. Custom and customized parts of the model were developed digitally and produced by SLA and SLS with some amount of manual fabrication.

As per customer's request the model's finish includes slight wear and dust to make the model more "in action looking".

After digital development and upon receiving the custom parts the model was produced in a record time of just 1.5 weeks.

 

The model is mounted on a mahogany finished base with clear protective cover and accompanied by custom transit case.

Right after the completion the model made its first appearance at 2012 AUSA show in Washington DC and, along with other model made for the same client, received recognition and very positive feedbacks for accuracy, high level of detailing and presentation value.
