Testing the 1/6 Strv 105 on a track build for 1/16 scale tanks!

When I was at Panzermuseum East in Denmark, I brought my 105 with me to test it during the harsh Danish conditions. ;) We were invited by some very friendly people top have a go at their 1/16 scale track, a beautiful course with a nice surface and lots of obstacles. Since the course was built for 1/16 scale models, it became very technical and fun for our bigger tanks. It was also a great opportunity to test the drive train and construction of the 105.

Soo good to see handmade big tanks alongside armortek tanks. Shows ppl there's hope in making these awesome machines yourself.

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks a lot, man! That's just what I hope to show! 😊

[@Cormano980]

With the right tools nothing is impossible, you can even rent by the hour tool shops and still get it done far more cheaper than Armortek

[@Jayneflakes]

That looks awesome. I look forwards to seeing the finished piece.

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you! Hopefully it's done this summer!

[@robertmorey4104]

I love the teaser project! Cent is looking and running great. Roberts Tiger just keeps getting better. Keep up the good work guys!

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks, mate! 🤘 Lots of fun things planned for this season!

can't wait for future updates

Thanks! 🙏

Very much mouthwatering very welcomed, i imagine a sound box in a vehicle beeing able to strengthen the impression of some scenery alot...very inspirating.

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks a lot! Yeah, it's heavy as it is, but a sound system in mandatory!

[@unbekannternr.1353]

Great work! Looking forward to the winter project videos as well.

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you! 🙏

[@mrtyko]

We had a good time there Erik, and a big thanks to our friends 1/16 in Denmark.

[@builtbyWikander]

Indeed!

[@AddamsPlayground]

It looks awesome on video, I am sure it is way more impressive to see in person! Very cool and thanks for sharing!

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks a lot for watching! Hopefully, it won't be long until it gets some paint too!

[@scale6039]

Tank looks and drives great 👍 Looking forward to see that winter project land rover 🙃

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks man! Yeah, a bit of mix in the projects right now, but it's crazy fun! Let's just say it's a new Land to Discover for me. 😜

[@comradesoldat7827]

Lookin good since the last time I checked in. i'd love to one day make something like this; one can dream :) Glad you are still rolling on this

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks, man! Yeah, still making progress. Hopefully it will have some colors this summer too.

[@miklawson211]

Nice Tank and i'm looking forwards to seeing the Land Rover Discovery video.

[@builtbyWikander]

Thanks mam, and thanks for watching. There will Disco time, eventually. 🤘

[@MrToutenkarton]

Great job, great model!

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you!

[@slowshop]

That winter project!!

[@builtbyWikander]

Soon time to Disco!

[@slowshop]

@@builtbyWikander Finland polka disco! 😁

[@endy8411]

As an Australian though I won't deny I'd like to see it somehow being able to change parts around and turn into an Australia Centurion RAAC.

[@builtbyWikander]

Yeah, there's some cool aussie Centurions out there, definitely.

[@maxsollie]

Awsome video. Greets from Norway

[@builtbyWikander]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@sjoormen1]

all you need is gun stabiliser. balanced barrel with heavy weight in the pivot point might do the trick.

[@builtbyWikander]

Exactly what I'm trying to figure out. A well balanced barrel, elevation and not least recoil. I'm thinking a gyro too, to stabilize the barrel when moving in the terrain.

[@sjoormen1]

@@builtbyWikander recoil- I'd try pnevmatic as PCP airguns have you'll also got some sound, elevation worm gear, gyro I have no experience with that, sounds good though. I was playing only with heavy weight in pivot point as low as possible, it did the trick, but not perfectly.

[@Cormano980]

For recoil I would suggest a CO2 system, it even doesn't have to shoot anything if you're on the peaceful side, it's less of a headache than electronic and more realistic, a bike pump mechanism and a few valves and that's it Just an ideea, I'm not the Master 😉

[@builtbyWikander]

Yeah, I'm considering several options. 😊

[@infernoking7504]

I will eventually make my own 1/6 scale rc kv1 and others make of actual steel. Also those 1/6 scale rc tanks makes the 1/16 scale rc tanks look tiny.

[@builtbyWikander]

Haha, yeah, I keep imagine a 1/16 scale figure looking out the window and going "I thought the Maus was big!" Awesome, sounds like you have a plan!

[@Zipy54]

this thing look likes the p1000 ratta that the germans wanted to make

[@antitank123]

Den är snygg i terrängen, Erik hatten av

[@builtbyWikander]

Tack! 😊

Why no destruction of those building but just going round in circle..
