Incredible craftsmanship. Beautifully built. I was a driver with the 1st jagers te paard, alfa 22 of the Belgian army. I have always enjoyed driving the Scimiar.
Wonderful job. So nice to see something other than the usual WW2 offerings, and so well done, too. Playing back the ‘running’ portion of the video at .5 speed really helps to convince the viewer that the vehicle is actually real.
Fantastic work. As an apprentice toolmaker I was involved in making those mesh exhaust shrouds for the real thing many years ago. Watching you make them made me smile. Cheers
Well, the plans are mostly a detailed drawing of the tank enlarged to the scale he decides to build, the rest is hard scratch building with a mix of 3D Printed parts. Yes, it would be great to be able to purchase the 3DP files if you were going to build the same scale tank. But scratch building is an art in it self if one has never done this type of work.
Thank you very much for the answers you have given me. It has helped me a lot in building my first tank. I've made several pieces and printed in 3d. I've watched your videos several times. Congratulations for the excellent work. Really good.
I have been watching your builds in series and it's fascinating to see how you are evolving and refining the designs of things like drive, suspension and idle mechanisms from vehicle to vehicle. A great series of videos with interesting modelling subjects - it's good to see something other than the usual German cats (says the man with 1/8th and 1/6th Panthers!) . Thanks for sharing.
Hello Wikanders. Very well done! Nice mixture of conventional craftsmenship and modern CAM. Amazing level of details in this scale! Amazingly realistic appearance while driving.
Noway you have done an amazing job. You should be so proud of what you have done. I look forward to watching what you do next. Keep up the great work 👍
Son... That is a very fine piece of scratch build if I ever saw on!... Congrats!... Great vid and Great mastercraft!... Best wishes and greets from Pensacola, FL, US...
It is actually interesting how you 3D print easily manufacturable parts (wheels - plywood, turning machine and some rivets/bolts) and manually make complicated ones.
Amazing work again!! At 1/6 scale you can really feel the weight of the tank at speed on the suspension, it's just beautiful! Very nice job on the design of all the parts!..
@@builtbyWikander sir can you provide the 3d plans for your projects?.... I don't mind buying them as well.... Also.... I would love to see you making a 1:6 scale of fv 215b
@@adityabhattacharya4044 The 215B is certainly odd enough to be interesting, but the to do-list is long as it is. 😊 Regarding the 3D-files, I'm not planning on sharing them as for now, sorry.
Wow loved every second of this film what a awesome replica of the real thing I thought I was back in the army then looking at it . Thanks for sharing 👍
It's very fun and educational to view the construction and build videos. You're very talented and appreciate it that these are shared with us. I would like to build a 1:6 Jagdpanther and was wondering if it would be possible to purchase the 3D road wheels from you. Thanks for your consideration.
such a nice slick model, big fan of the CVRT series, but then i have worked with them from time to time, some great detail, some slightly incorrect, but i'm being picky, you can be forgiven as i know the effect you are after, the engine and gearbox covers are louvre in style, something i always look for, i remember some years back a chap who created the artwork for the Revelle model taking photos of our Scorpion and noting he had done the louvre the wrong way round, but it always takes those who know every inch of a vehicle to notice - when like me, you have spent hours sanding and restoring vehicles you tend to notice a lot more - Leopards tend to be a favourite of mine, and my latest is the later variant of the Kodiak AEV3, do i set you the challenge haha
That's so cool, man, I love hearing from people who have worked with them! Yeah, I know some parts are a bit off, but as you say, sometimes you're after an impression or a look and a bit of artistic freedom can't really hurt. 😊 I would love to make a Leo 2! Been thinking of a Centurion ARV, but we do have the Kodiaks here in Sweden to - Ingenjörbandvagn 120. 🙂 We'll just have to see!
@@builtbyWikander i know there is another model on YT of the Kodiak as an earlier variant - its not bad as it happens - it spurred me on to looking for a plastic kit and eventually i found one, a 1:35 scale made by BorDer, its ok, but does have a lot of errors that i had to over come, but to be honest i would love to build a bigger model of it, its such an awesome engineers tool
Hey there, first of all I just wanted ant to say that what you’re doing is absolutely amazing and I’m enjoying every second of your videos! I just couldn’t help but notice some artefacts on the print at 9:57 which I’m guessing were caused by Low wall count and infill to save some print time. You might already know this but since your friend printed them I’ll say it anyways if it can help, you can print the walls before the infill (usually a check mark in the slicer) and they should disappear saving you some sanding time! (On the other hand, overhangs might look a bit worse):)
Hi! Thanks a lot for watching and for the very kind words! Yeah, I think you are right - I'm not sure how many layers my friend used, but I'm guessing not more than 2. I'm not seeing this appear on parts with 3 layers or more. Anyway, huge thanks for the tip, it will definitely come in handy in the future!
I love that your using high tensile bolts! Must be costly 😀 Not so long ago you could buy the spartan (very similar design) and with an addition to your driving licence drive them on the road. Used a Jaguar 4.2 straight six XJ engine.
Have you ever thought about taking a crack at scratch building amphibious tanks like the Japanese Ka-Mi and Ka-Chi? They're certainly unique in appearance and might be an interesting task to chip away at!
Have you considered using a filament for the tracks that matches the final look? maybe a black, brown or rust color would look good I think. The light grey is ok but I feel like if a different option is equally cheap its worth the try and may look better
I did some weathering of the tracks a few years ago to, as you say, make them a bit rusty and worn. Just haven't got around to do it again. I think that a good thing with gray tracks is that if you paint then rusty, they paint gets worn and the brighter grey shines through, as metal does on a real vehicle.
Hi thanks for the reply can you please help me I’m in the process of building a Scimitar light tank. But I’m having trouble finding tracks and sprockets for it. I have been able to find the road wheels on EBay “Action man vehicle” but the track and sprockets are a hole different problem so any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Steve
These works are impressive. You have to have a lot of patience to dedicate so many hours of work. I would like to tackle a similar project. How could I get a plan of this tank? And also the 3D pieces. Is it possible to download it?
Hello friend, thank you in advance for all the tips you have been giving me. As I don't understand painting, I would like to know why you paint everything gray before the final painting? Is this gray paint a regular paint?
Hi, no problem! The gray paint is either the aluminum primer that is needed to prime aluminium before painting, so that the paint sticks and don't flake, or it's spray putty that I use to give the 3d-printed surfaces a smoother look. It also works as a foundation so that the real paint looks the same on all places of the model when it is applied.
It would be great if you made a video explaining something about Freecad. I'm not sure how to model the tower. Are you interested in making a video on how to model the tower in freecad?
I have some plans on how to use freecad to model parts, absolutely. I remember the turret being a bit tricky. I Made it in two halfs, one bottom and one top, if that helps. Start with a solid in Part design, make the entire turret, give it all the sides and angles, split it in half and make it hollow with the walls about 5 mm thick.
I used to operate one of these back in the 90s while serving in 1st BN RGJ, brought back some great memories thank you . Your craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing. Do you have any plan to sell the STL files.
Hi and thank you for the kind words! It's so cool when people that has worked with them get in touch. It's harder to hear from some one with hands on experience of ww2-stuff. 😊 Right now, I'm not selling any files... I think I need to adjust them a bit if someone is going to pay for them.
Thanks! It's not on my build list, but a friend of mine has built one from scratch in 1/5 scale, complete with gas turbine and hydraulic suspension. Check out my video from Hässleholms museum 2019 to see more of it.
Outstanding. I used to drive and maintain the Spartan derivate so lovely to see a scratch built CVR(T). Side note I can still taste the water that comes from those water cans🤮
I was re-watching the Fv107 Scimitar tank build video and I noticed that you used a thin metal sheet to protect the bottom hull on this tank, I was wondering if you had later done the same thing to your STRV105 Centurion as well? I hope you are all doing well. Have a great day!
@@davepriddy9263 Hi! That's right, I usually protect the plywood hull on the underside with a sheet of aluminum. I didn't do that on the 105, however... I think I skipped it since the bottom board was 28 mm thick.
Is there any chance that your plans / STL files, might go on sale somewhere? I'd love to make an FV102 Striker & the FV102 is part of the same CVR(T) family.
Good question. I love my RSO, it's probably the model I have been driving the most. It's always running on meets and exhibitions. But I think my Scimitar is the best built 1/6 tank. The AMX-13 is the best of my 1/8 scale models. 😊
A couple of questions, how to you hook the screw drivers to your ESC? How do you program the reverse gear? Ty! Keep up the absolutely amazing work!!! ❤❤❤ 😊😊😊
Hi! Thank you for watching! I made a video about how the screw drivers, the ESC and the battery are connected: ruclips.net/video/zrGDsmdWXW8/видео.html The reverse function is already in the ESC and the radio stick is used from the middle position to up = forwards and down = reverse.
@@builtbyWikander thank you very much! I’ve watched the video! That is amazing! Thank you again! I am trying to build an amalgamation of tanks. Looking something like a cross between an Lav-25 and a AMX-10 RC with neutral steering.
Hey , Wikander amazing video!!! could I ask what equipment you use to create RC models?!!? Im saving up for a Cross-RC MC8 and seeking to add a Toyan Four-cylinder Four-stroke Water Cooling Nitro Model Engine FS-L400 to make it a hybrid and was wondering what equipment model engineers like yourself need inside you garage? Thanks!
Hi, thanks so much for watching! The tools and machines I use are pretty basic - mainly what you see in the video: a small table band saw, a pillar-drill and a small table sander. The sander is probably the most important of all tools, since it allows me to make 90 degree corners and sides. The table band saw is mostly used for cutting things roughly. I then sand the pieces to the right size with the sander. I could do with a real circular table saw, but I don't have the space. 🙂 Aside from that, it's basically hand tools - screw drivers, hammers, rulers, etc. The number one tool to make my models, however, is the 3D-printer. Best of luck with your build, it sounds like a really awesome project! 👌
Hello Eric. I'm installing an Ess-one+ similar to yours. Where can I find the sounds of war tanks and gunfire to download and install on my tank? Could you help me? I really appreciate the help you've been giving me.
@@rctechnology1223 Hi! The engine sound I use is an Ess-sound, from their library that you can acces via the usb-link that comes with the sound module. I think I used a gun sound from one of the free sound pages online, Freesound.org. You can put any sound you like in the sound module, as long as it is one of the common sound types, like mp3.

Hi! Thank you for watching! I made a video about how the screw drivers, the ESC and the battery are connected: ruclips.net/video/zrGDsmdWXW8/видео.html
The reverse function is already in the ESC and the radio stick is used from the middle position to up = forwards and down = reverse.
@@builtbyWikander thank you very much! I’ve watched the video! That is amazing! Thank you again! I am trying to build an amalgamation of tanks. Looking something like a cross between an Lav-25 and a AMX-10 RC with neutral steering.
@@bravotroopergaming9122 Sounds awesome, love creative tanks. 😄 Good luck!
Hey , Wikander amazing video!!! could I ask what equipment you use to create RC models?!!? Im saving up for a Cross-RC MC8 and seeking to add a Toyan Four-cylinder Four-stroke Water Cooling Nitro Model Engine FS-L400 to make it a hybrid and was wondering what equipment model engineers like yourself need inside you garage? Thanks!
Hi, thanks so much for watching! The tools and machines I use are pretty basic - mainly what you see in the video: a small table band saw, a pillar-drill and a small table sander. The sander is probably the most important of all tools, since it allows me to make 90 degree corners and sides. The table band saw is mostly used for cutting things roughly. I then sand the pieces to the right size with the sander. I could do with a real circular table saw, but I don't have the space. 🙂 Aside from that, it's basically hand tools - screw drivers, hammers, rulers, etc. The number one tool to make my models, however, is the 3D-printer. Best of luck with your build, it sounds like a really awesome project! 👌
Hello Eric. I'm installing an Ess-one+ similar to yours. Where can I find the sounds of war tanks and gunfire to download and install on my tank? Could you help me? I really appreciate the help you've been giving me.
@@rctechnology1223 Hi! The engine sound I use is an Ess-sound, from their library that you can acces via the usb-link that comes with the sound module. I think I used a gun sound from one of the free sound pages online, Freesound.org. You can put any sound you like in the sound module, as long as it is one of the common sound types, like mp3.
Eric, I forgot to ask: what fill pattern do you use on the track links on the treadmill? Octet, cubic subdivision....
Octet. 😊
Fantastic model. The only thing I would say is, and it's nit-picking really, is the headlights are too small!
Faudrait le faire breveté comme ca les collectionneurs pourront l'acheter .
