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

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!!!

Insane craftmanship! That thing must be heavy though. A total beast!

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you! 🙏 It clocks in at 19 kg, so at least it's manageable. 🙂

[@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.

I would have liked a lot for footage of the tank itself showing the parts you are making being spliced in. This video does not do justice how accurate you made all the basic shapes and dimensions. Could it be that the suspention is almost bottomed out at rest? it seems the springs need to be tighter there possibly.

Thanks for the feedback! When loaded, the centre of the road wheels should be in line with the very bottom of the hull.
