Smokey – Tennessee Volunteers Mascot (Tank Mode)

👋 Hey! Welcome to my little 3D printing corner.

I’m still pretty new to 3D modeling and learning more every single project, but I genuinely love creating fun prints, mascots, tank-mode characters, fidgets, and weird little ideas that people enjoy printing.

A lot of my designs come from community requests, so if there’s a mascot, character style, remix idea, or goofy concept you’d like to see, feel free to reach out. Honestly, every project helps me get better at modeling and pushes me to learn something new.

Thanks for checking out my work and supporting a growing creator. 🚀

This is Smokey, the beloved Tennessee Volunteers mascot, transformed into a massive Tank Mode Fan Figure. Featuring exaggerated muscular proportions, a powerful game-day stance, and Smokey's unmistakable hound dog appearance, this collectible brings Volunteer spirit to life in an entirely new way.

Inspired by Tennessee's iconic orange and white color scheme, this version combines mascot tradition with superhero-sized strength, making it a standout display piece for Vols fans, sports collectors, and 3D printing enthusiasts alike.

Whether displayed on a desk, shelf, or fan cave, Smokey is ready to represent Rocky Top in true Tank Mode fashion.
