Roll out, commander! Get ready to conquer the battlefields with the most versatile model kit this side of the galactic core. MAV3RICK – Modular Armoured Vehicle 3D pRIntable Customisable Kit – is a 28mm scale sci-fi tank design. It is intended for wargamers, modellers, collectors and 3D printing enthusiasts.
The kit was born out of a Kickstarter campaign, which you can find here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1502793436/mav3rick-modular-3d-printable-tank-kit-in-28mm-sca
Modularity
A unique feature of the MAV3RICK is its modular construction. The front, side and roof panels attach without glue allowing you to swap them in and out as you see fit. One model makes many variants: personnel carrier, infantry fighting vehicle, battle tank, assault gun, rocket artillery, anti-aircraft vehicle, self-propelled gun. Or you can just mix it up and create a Frankentank of your own design.
If you're a wargamer, that means you are not forced to choose the variant at build-time. Instead, you can try out different army lists, strategies and ideas with just a click of a few modular pieces.
You can further customise your vehicle with details such as track guards, extra storage boxes and armour, pintle-mounted weapons, a missile launcher and a dozer blade/recoil spade.

Quality
MAV3RICK redefines how models should be prepared for printing, with the aim of getting the very best quality out of FDM printers. The tank's panels are broken up to lie flat on your printer's build plate. This goes a long way to getting rid of visible striations that mar other designs. Furthermore, it also saves on plastic, as your printer doesn't have to fill in wasted space. Not to mention – it just makes it more fun to build.
Features
The model comes with a huge selection of weapons. Most are modelled with slots for magnets, adding an extra dimension of modularity. (3x1mm magnets required). There are many points of articulation: turrets rotate, weapons elevate and hatches open and close. MAV3RICK's dimensions are comparable to other 28mm tank models, meaning it will be perfectly at home on the battlefields of your favourite wargame.
Please note that the files you are purchasing are the latest version of the kit which has had refinements over time. They are slightly different in a few places than what is shown in the video.
