    • @rb67mustang
      @rb67mustang 2 года назад +4

      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.

    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

    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):)

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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

    Very nice as usual. The attention to detail is uncanny in this one... By the way, how do you calculate the gear teeth to track fittings? Is it from the blueprint or do you calculate it urself?

    • @builtbyWikander
      @builtbyWikander  3 года назад +1

      Hey man, and thank you! Well, the blueprints I find on the net gives me a good idea of the sprocket design. I then adapt the tracks to the teeth of the sprockets and imitate the look of the tracks. Might do a video of it in the future. ☺

    Fantastic model. The only thing I would say is, and it's nit-picking really, is the headlights are too small!

    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.
