Renault Pattern Cyclops

Renault Pattern Cyclops 3D print model

Description

Lore: The Renault Pattern Light Logistic Hauler (aka: Renault Pattern Cyclops, or Shovel Schlepper) is a crew-less tractor used for various duties within the Astra Militarum. It is capable of functioning in remote control or limited autonomous mode. In times of great need or boredom soldiers have been known to load the cargo bed full of explosives to create a cyclops-style suicide bomb.

Miniature: Pre-supported with six different improvised explosive payloads. Very close in size to the stand Lucius Pattern Cyclops.

Design notes: I tried to keep the overall length, width, and height the same as the Cyclops. I envisioned the engine and up front, with transmission in the back, under the cargo bed. Tracks wider for a more realistic look. The appearance was largely inspired by the French Renault FT tank. The antenna on top is intended as a direction finding type, perhaps used when the vehicle is functioning in autonomous mode, following a beacon. I tried to follow the cyclops theme by adding one large eye in front. There are some touches of a large pack animal as well, like the nose-ring up front. First drafts also had larger exhausts on each side that looked like horns.

Assembly: Tracks are separate parts for better printing. It is recommend to attach after painting. Rear axle holes may need to be drilled out a little more for a better fit, depending on your printer settings. The largest bomb does not fit perfectly in the cargo area - this was intentional to create the idea of it being overloaded with a cartoonishly large bomb.

These are just brilliant. The payloads vary from improvised to almost ACME brand levels of seriously un-serious, and they absolutely make me giggle. This model is so much more 'Krieg' feeling than the actual world-o-forges version. They print super-clean with presupports on my Saturn 2 with water-washable resin.

Using my Elegoo Sat 2 with standard factory settings (and water washable resin) these came out sweet and clean. The extra-goofy bomb payloads make me giggle in a way that probably isn't healthy, but is super fun. I'm making them swap-able with magnets in the payloads and the bases, so I can theme my explosives to the armies I'm facing.
