How to make a 1/6 scale Strv M/39 - step by step

[@notalemon2899]

[@Del350K4]

In a world full of 1/6 scale Tigers, Leopards and Shermans, how refreshing it is to see this interesting subject being modelled so painstakingly. Great work - and congratulations on your video production values, too : )

The straps to hold the pickaxe and shovel... Brilliant. Love it. Beautiful job. Thanks for sharing.

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you! The material is called Papfab, and is some sort of thin fake leather.

[@BOEING--mh6xm]

Love the stop motion animation at the beginning

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you! Tedious, but fun!

[@pietrisco_motorsport]

It’s a perfect-made stop motion

[@brianbindas6816]

This is absolutely mind blowing! The level of craftsmanship and detail are off the charts. Every little part made by hand right down to the tiniest detail. The time and patience that this would take is just unbelievable. Outstanding work!!!

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks a lot! 🙏🙏🙏

[@rb67mustang]

I love the mix of building material you use in all of your builds. Being able to use quality plywood to build as much as possible is a great plus. I love all the wire handles, buckles and clasps you so effortlessly create from scratch. Your videos are detailed and entertaining, thank you for sharing your hard work with everyone.

Im blown away! I've built large scale models for years and im very impressed. Using a combination of 3D printing, wood and metal work is refreshing to see. I would say you'd have a good market if you ever decide to sell plans or files etc. Id buy!

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks a lot for watching! Yeah, I really like the combination of techniques, it lets you model the fun parts by hand. 😊

[@cuttersgoose]

Unbelievable what can be done now with a 3D printer... but you have to be a genius to figure all this out and execute it.. I would change the music to period correct German marching music or Glenn Miller, etc ... well done!!

Awesome build!! Question, I scratched build a German Goliath Demolision Vehicle, the only set back is the tracks which I can't find anywhere! Scratch building them would be long and tedious. Should I use a 3D printer and which Model would be sufficient for the task? Thanks in advance!!

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you! That sounds like a very cool project, and 3D-printed tracks seems to be a good solution. I have only really experience with the Flashforge Finder, so hard to advise you there, but if you are new to 3D-printing, and don't want to limit your materials to PLA or PETG, I would say an Adventure 4 or a printer that could be encapsulated and has a heated bed, like an Ender.
