Description
This is a set of mini puzzle tanks inspired by Tanki Online during its golden years (2012–2015). The kit includes these classic combos:
Each tank is designed as a flat kit-card: print it, pop out the parts, and assemble. No glue, no supports—just a fun and simple build. These models were originally created as a tribute to a game my brothers and I loved growing up, turning our favorite tanks into something physical we could mess around with on a desk or shelf.
Turrets and hulls are fully interchangeable, so you can mix and match parts between the three sets—just like in the game.
The models are small and quick to print, but also leave room for creativity. The original game had tons of visual variations (M1, M2, M3, XT) so feel free to remix them, add textures or paint, and make your own version. I’d love to see what you come up with.
Assembly instructions included if needed, but if you like a puzzle give it a go! Based on the pics and the hints below I think it's doable if you're up to the challenge.
Hints for assebly:
I recommend using pliers to separate from the brim, but I've also included brimless versions for easier assembly.
