								This is a 1:16 
								scale Display/Trade Show model of M1A2 Abrams 
								tank equipped with performance enhancing 
								applications.In order to speed up the production and save 
								money for our client we used a number of 
								off-shelf parts, which were upgraded and 
								modified to look worthy of a large scale trade 
								show model. Custom and customized parts of the 
								model were developed digitally and produced by 
								SLA and SLS with some amount of manual 
								fabrication.
 As per customer's request the model's finish 
								includes slight wear and dust to make the model 
								more "in action looking".
 After digital development and upon receiving the 
								custom parts the model was produced in a record 
								time of just 1.5 weeks.
 
 The model is mounted on a mahogany finished base 
								with clear protective cover and accompanied by 
								custom transit case.
 Right after the completion the model made its 
								first appearance at 2012 AUSA show in Washington 
								DC and, along with other model made for the same 
								client, received recognition and very positive 
								feedbacks for accuracy, high level of detailing 
								and presentation value.
