Reginald the Recon
Print Profile(1)
Description
Its never too early to share your love of history with your children!
This is Reginald the Recon, a Daimler light tank used by the British in the 1940s and 1950s. Being British, Reginald (don’t call him Reggie) has a monocle, bushy grey mustache, and smug sense of superiority, as is mandated by the King.
Unlike Tina the Tiger, Reginald the Recon was designed from the ground up to be a toy (but don’t tell him that). I’ve included numbered connecting blocks to make the pieces easier to line up for gluing (and you will want to glue this together). The wheels and turret do NOT rotate as I was going for a simple and rugged design that could take some abuse. That is also the reason for the higher than normal infill on most parts.
As with all 3d printing things, I do NOT recommend you allow your child to play with this toy unsupervised out of concern for broken parts becoming choking hazards. I have not yet had any problems, despite Reginald being thrown across the room after he shot my child’s favorite doll, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
Assembly Tips:
Joint 1: Used to join the turret to the body
Joint 2: Used to join the spare tire to the side of the body
Joint 3: Used to join both halves of the body
Forward and rear axles should face down so that the text is visible when assembled.
Plate 3 is the same model but in a single color.
