Tinkercad is a free-of-charge, online 3D modeling program that runs in a web browser. [1] Since it became available in 2011 it has become a popular platform for creating models for 3D printing as well as an entry-level introduction to constructive solid geometry in schools.
Clubs centered around the hobby of modeling have existed since the 1950s. The Armor Modeling and Preservation Society, Inc. was founded in 1993 by armor modelers as a means of promoting the hobby using the 'open system' of contest judging. In 2023, AMPS celebrated its 30th Anniversary during the annual International Convention.
The IS-4 has bump stops similar to other torsion bar systems but notably does not have shock absorbers to stop rocking, relying instead on mass.
