Сколько же труда вбухано! Результат впечатляет.

[@laurentpoulain3325]

Travail particulièrement impressionnant. Je me demande combien pourrait se vendre ce véritable travail d'orfèvrerie. En plus un blindé français, ça le mérite d'être souligné. Encore mille bravos. Des mains en or. On veut en voir d'autres pour le plaisir. Merci pour ce visionnage 👌

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks a lot for those kind words! I too think the AMX-13 is a gem; France has made a lot of cool vehicles. There are more build videos to watch on my channel! 😊

[@StephanieElizabethMann]

Beautiful. The movement in the turret is great. It brings the AMC to life. When it rolls out of the work shop and the turret moves it appears to come to a life of its own. I liked the skirt around the turret. When it pulls up towards the end the turret skirt looks like a big smile. 😊

[@builtbyWikander]

Haha, it sure does! Thanks a lot for commenting and for watching! 🙏👊

He just got another one from me ;-)

[@aljaznovak7777]

But it is a masterpiece of engineering. This man is probably a highly educated engineer with a lot of experience. I would love to see the plans or it will be even better if one day he takes the time to write a book for all those who are trying to learn the techniques of modelling and making RC model kits.😍

just found this channel and omg this is awesome amx-13 is one of my favorite tanks, it looks so cool with the oscillating turret huge respect from building it purely on your own and not assembling from a kit I wish I could do this myself, but I don't have the equipment nor the skill to make one of my own anyway, definitely subscribing to you

Wow amazing. Working on a 1/6th AMX13 for a while. Wish i had those track and sprocket files. Beautiful build.

[@builtbyWikander]

Stewart Harris Thanks, man! A 1/6 scale would make a very nice model, indeed. Not planning on releasing the stl-files, but all reference material comes from images and blueprints found on the net. And FreeCad is free to use. Cheers!

[@stewartharris9588]

Google rctankcombat. It is a group that does 1/6th tanks that are equipped with paintball guns. Some in the US and in the UK.

[@builtbyWikander]

Stewart Harris Rctankcombat.com is a huge inspiration source for my builds! And I really like the 1/6 scale, as well. Working on my first 1/6 scale vehicle right now, the Steyr RSO. Are you planning on putting a paintball gun in your tank?

[@stewartharris9588]

@@builtbyWikander that is the plan. Keeping first tank build simple to try to keep costs down. Not doing full suspension on it.

[@builtbyWikander]

Stewart Harris Ok! My experience is that suspension adds a lot to the vehicle, and it isn't that costly either. Just some nuts and bolts and springs from a hardware store. Whatever your decision will be, it's going to be an awesome project. Good luck!
