Trenchworx: Tanks of WWI in 28mm Kickstarter Launched


Trenchworx: The inspiration for our company began in July of 2013 when we wondered if we could create models for our favorite table top war games using our 3D printers. Like most miniature manufacturers, it started with that simple statement, "Wouldn't it be cool to have..." We began the experiment with a T34/76 turret to go on one of our models. Next was a Sherman 105 and Calliope turret. After a couple of weeks of modeling and printing various items, we thought, "Nuts to turrets—let’s build a tank!" 

A week later, we had a brand new Jagdpanther (‘cause why start small?). That same Jagdpanther can be seen on our Home page and is still a favorite. Since the first tank rolled off the line, we have designed, printed, and shipped hundreds of new models to customers around the world. The amazing support of the internet community motivated us to launch Trenchworx and continue growing our business. You maybe just in time to grab some left early bird offers so check the Kickstarter here.

Earlier this year, we began experimenting with various combinations of 3D printing and resin casting and have developed a system which produces very high quality and detailed 28mm resin tanks, tank accessories, and vehicles. We are proud to kick off the first wave of these new miniatures in time to celebrate the centennial anniversary of The Great War. To get things started, we have chosen one tank from three major nations involved in the conflict:

1. The experimental German A7V — one of the most unique designs in AFV history. 
2. The formidable British MkV, which saw service with many nations during the conflict. 
3. The French FT tank with its rotating turret, which swarmed the battlefields and forever changed the future of armored warfare.
