Modeling the Sherman Tank in 1/72nd Scale
 
Browning M2 Machinegun Syndikate Co.

Syndikate Co. has established itself as one of my favorite 3D-printing companies, after only a single order to them. They use a very hi-res printer, and have highly detailed source files for the printed patterns. I bought close to two dozen items from them, including these Browning M2 .50cal machineguns, and they are all absolutely gorgeous. Once I get clearance from the final authority in my house (ahem...), I plan on placing another order with them to get another dozen or so sets.

Take a look at the scans below and tell me I'm crazy. These pieces are exceptional. As you can see, the set comes with six machineguns with three tripod mounts, four vehicle mounts (the website says it's supposed to be three), four ammo box cradles, and 40 ammo boxes of different styles, some open, some closed. Interestingly, even with the incredibly detailed design, the firing triggers are absent from the printed parts. I've seen other printed machineguns that include triggers, so I'm surprised they're missing here. But that is my only negative observation for this set. These are currently the best resin M2s in this scale.
