Is that an old Ford Anglia I see there? As for that beautiful baby, yet another excellent Wikander production!!!! Waes Hael! As we used to say...

[@Hagbergscorner]

It's a 1955 100e, Ford Prefect. 👌 Well spotted.

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks, mate!

[@rb67mustang]

Congratulations on your new born son, I'm sure you & your wife are very happy. I really enjoy all of your builds, and I'm glad I found your channel. I wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous & Happy New Year. I can't wait to see your son's 1st Tank Build.

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks a lot! 🙏 It's been great to have you and the other regulars here in the comment section, it means a lot! Thank you again and Merry Christmas!

I wish you and your loved ones a merry Christmas and happy days. You are the reason why I now 3D print tanks myself. After almost 15 years of model building in which I designed 1:8 tanks and then built them from aluminum, I always had doubts about the usefulness of FDM in functional model building. Although I had 3D printed many parts, such as hatches or exhaust systems, I never wanted to print parts such as swing arms, rollers, tracks, or entire hulls. I only started using it after your videos, so far everything is working very well. Even though the tracks wear out much faster than cast aluminum, they are unbeatably cheap in comparison. I had to expect several hundred euros for cast aluminum. So I'm happy that I found your videos. Have fun with your hobby and I look forward to more videos from you.

[@builtbyWikander]

That's the highest praise, to hear that someone gets inspired by one's work. 🙏 Thank you so much. If I had the means and skills, I would definitely try and cast metal tracks, but printed parts work good enough and let's you finish your ideas in reasonable time. In the future, I will definitely try and cast stuff too. Great to hear that your projects are going forward, have a great Christmas and thank you once again for all the kind words!

[@peterconnan5631]

Thank you very much. Congratulations with your new baby boy! He is far more interesting, and if it's up to me, I will still be around to appreciate your build video whenever it comes out. Merry Christmas to you and your fa mily!

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you very much for those kind words. Yeah, this is another type of build, that's for sure. 😊 Merry Christmas!

[@sjoormen1]

All the best to you and your familly. And thank you. You are one of the reasons of my building of T54 ion 1:10 Matilda will have to wait for few months... Greetings from Slovenia.

[@builtbyWikander]

Hearing that one has inspiring others is the best kind of feedback one can get. 🙏 Thanks a lot, and best of luck with your build!

Wikander, I found your video on how you power your tanks really useful on my 1/6 Renault FT build. Could you make a video showing how you wire up the turret and gun please? Thanks

[@builtbyWikander]

That's great to hear! Good idea to a video, I'll look into that. 👍

Yah merry christmas, Next year why not try making some plane, heli or drone models also it will be a juicy content for us!!!

[@builtbyWikander]

I do fly rc planes, and that old 1/6 Cub from the 70's that's hanging from the garage ceiling will be electric converted one day. 😊👍

[@Its_Me_Romano]

[@Tankmen812]

У меня такой вопрос, как вы печатаете модели, то есть как вы попадаете прямо в нужные размеры и если это 3д модели, то не могли бы сказать, где вы их берёте?

[@Tankmen812]

Я имею ввиду, вы по любому не знаете какие именно вам нужны размеры катков или траков, откуда-то вы должны брать информацию, Я думаю с 3д моделей, только где можно найти такие 3д модели

[@builtbyWikander]

Hi, I draw all my models In FreeCad, using blueprints I find online. The blueprints mostly comes from 1/35 scale plastic models, but I scale them to 1/6 and use them as a background templet.
