[Minairons] 1:100 Barbastro tank

[Lluis of Minairons]

We've just released the 1:100th version of the Barbastro tank, a handcrafted behemoth locally built in the Aragonese town where the thing borrows the name from, whose 1:72nd scale equivalent is also available from a long since.
Unlike its larger sister, this 1:100th tank model is DLP 3D-printed in just two parts (main hull and turret), and it's complemented by two hard plastic machine guns.

Yes it shows kind of a retro-futuristic look that people of that time seemed very keen of.
Please keep in mind this wasn't any professional design, but a handcrafted thing instead, like wheeled 'tiznaos' - locally manufactured at a workshop likely with experience just at repairing farming tractors.
I guess the workers there were somehow influenced by such retro-futuristic concept art often shown in magazines or almanacs...
