This is a fully interactable, fully functioning
1:16 scale wooden Himars model that comes
in the form of a build it yourself DIY Kit using 3mm
plywood.
Based on the Wooden Army kit with many new and
exciting features.
As of currently, the intention is to only be releasing the
files for this project for anyone to download and laser cut
themselves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This project will be free for all kickstarter backers of the wooden army kickstarter for the himars wooden model, you just need to show proof of purchase for the kickstarter and the files will be provided free of charge. Currently we are not able to mass manufacture our version due to design constraints.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0 is now available to all previous wooden army kickstarter backers for free! Just use the contact form to claim your free set of files.
There are 15 sheets required. All sheets have been designed to 300mm x 180mm which is the most common hobby size Laser cutter.
Included in the files is all sheets as SVG's with red lines for cutting and blue for engraving. Please note, all sheets are currently unlabelled pieces so it is currently more of a puzzle to put together but easy to identify all the pieces based on the instructions provided which are original from wooden army, with more thinking required for the additional new parts.
Feel free to modify the SVG's in any way you see fit.
Current Solidworks Model
[What's left to finish?]
All sheets stil need part numbers, and a full instruction book still needs to be produced, unfortunately due to time contraints, this is still going to be a little while. Other things will change with user feedback so if you want a more perfected version, it might be best waiting for further updates to the product. when a more finalised product is done, the files will go for sale for non kickstarter backers,.
The instructions are going to be a challenge to produce, the original instructions will cover 95% of the build process, most of the parts follow the exact same naming structure as the original set with the exception of a few new parts or changed models. I am looking to get a full instruction manual released shortly after finishing all the files. More on that to come.
