How to make a 1/6 scale Strv 105
Vložit

- This took a while to make - both the video and the model. I started in January 2021, and finished it late 2023. Or, finished it - there are modifications waiting, but that will be covered in future videos. It is the longest of any build I have done so far, but it is also the largest model I have worked on. As for now, it runs great and everything is holding up as it should.
I did learn a lot on this build and as usual there are things I would like to modify or change, or wish I had done differently, mostly regarding the turret. For now, it will do, however, and I hope it can be a source of inspiration for
anyone wanting to build larger remote controlled tanks.
I though I should go back to building smaller vehicles after this, but driving a big model seem to increase the fun by a square, at least for me, so we'll see what's next. :) There's that problem with workshop space, though...
All in all, I had a good time building it and editing this video, I hope you guys like it. Have a great start at 2024, I wish you all a Happy New Year!
Erik

I'm sad because there is not a culture like this in the United States.
I built my own tank as well and there's no real place to show it off without traveling a huge distance.
Excellent job! I'm amazed.
Thanks a lot, sorry to hear you miss like-minded people! I know there are a lot of Americans in the Facebook group "1/6 scale war vehicles only", perhaps that could be a good start? Plus, it turned out that within driving range from the place I live, there were more than a handful people interested in the same hobby, including one who built his own 1:1 tank. I had no idea about this until I started building and started to visit hobby exhibitions. So you never know, there might be guys out there with the same interest closer than you think. 🙂
What state are you in? I think theres a few tank groups still around in the midwest region. Not 1/6 scale+ specific more like 1/16 normal scales etc etc But yes Uk and all the neighboring countries over in the east have huge tank communities and RC gatherings.
@@wreckloosecibblecaboot That would be soooo much fun i wish i was in the Uk
It's awesome to see a well detailed, made from scratch home built system from nothing to completion. Outstanding work! Amazing
Thank you for watching and for those kind words! 🙏
WE MORTALS have been blessed WITH A CENTURION (that is totally real and not a scaled down version that is made from wood, metal, wood glue,some screws, plastic and LOVE)
😄😄😄
Totally!
@@builtbyWikander best of wishes on new year.
I wish for you to rest and spend time with your family, you deserve it!
@@maxim4538 Thanks a lot, we are doing our best! 😊
strv 105 is better.
This fellow Scandinavian really is proving yet again that you can make anything yourself with the knowledge and the right tools.
10/10 & Happy New Year!
Thank you, Happy New Year!
How much money to invest into those tools? Own house needed...so in fact a hobby for those who have no other problems...you shouöd say: if you have plenty og money everything id possible
@@cherchezlesoir7166 Well, I started to build my models when I lived in an apartment, and the tools are either cheap, bought used or inherited, so the money-value is next to nothing, although they are very valuable to me. There are plenty of ways to acquire cheap tools, if that's the only obstacles for getting into the hobby.
I really like seeing a photo of you in 1/6 scale standing in the commanders hatch; it adds a nice personal touch of realism to your work.
Haha, yeah, I'll keep him around to show the scale of the models, until I get a real 1/6 commander in the turret. :)
Excellent video, I really enjoyed the longer video in to your build of the Strv 105 Centurion, and it looks fantastic.
Thanks a lot, that's awesome to hear! 👍🙏
I did my military service on Centurion Strv 104 in the nineties. I must say you did an exceptionally good job getting the details on the model spot on. Watching the video brought back some memories 😊. Very nice job!
That's aweseom, thank you! Eller ska jag säga tack, då kanske? 😁 Så kul att höra från folk som har erfarenhet av de riktiga vagnarna. 👍👍👍
@@builtbyWikander gjorde en veckas prao på miloverkstan p18 när de byggde om ett antal centurionvagnar, bland annat med nya lastbilsbatterier på släde istället för de gamla brittiska stavformade.
@@builtbyWikander cool centurion
@@pon-tampon Tack!
@@SonsOfLorgar Fräckt!
When I first clicked to watch I thought it was a kit. OMG, from scratch! Amazing to watch. Great job! You get a like and subscribe.
That's awesome, thanks a lot! 🙏
Until I see you using a hacksaw blade to make groove for the C clips, I thought you had a small hobby sized lathe. Yes, I did read the note thanking Sten for making the gearbox drive shafts, and they are very well made. I'm a retired machinist. I have a bunch of wood working machines, a Harbor Freight Hobby Lathe, and a couple years ago, I bought a used Bridgeport that needed repairs. It's been running for a while, and it's in good condition. I converted it to single phase using a new motor with the same RPM as the original motor. The only thing I'm not into is 3D Printing. I really enjoy watching you build your RC Vehicles, you are a very talented.
Thanks a lot for those kind words. 🙏 I got a small hobby lathe half way through the build, so it will be very handy in upcoming projects, but I must say I need to get at much better understanding of how it works to really put it to good use. Thanks for sharing, and for watching!
Really great build. Have been considering a 1/8 snowcat build, you have me inspired
Thank you, and that's aweseome! Best of luck!
That is an amazing work of art. Incredible craftsmanship, attention to detail and skill. Well done!
Thank you so much and thanks for watching! 🙏🙏🙏
I love this model you did a really good job on it and I respect the amount of work that went into this I know I could never do something like this. Amazing!
That's very kind of you, thanks a lot for watching!
Like watching a kid with a Masters degree in engineering at work. Loved every second of it! Beyond impressive.
Haha, that's awesome and spot on, thanks a lot!
Absolutly great work! Thanks for showing us.
Thanks a lot, and thanks for watching! 🙏
What a fantastic build ! I am very impressed, thank you for sharing.
Tusen tack! 🙏
Ok that's a record for me. Most cool model tank video ever.
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
I must admit, your channel inspired me to pursue my first model tank, I am currently gathering resources and mental strenght to finally build one from scratch (Polish variant of Leopard 2).
Damn, that's so cool to hear! And the Leo 2 is an aweseom tank, I wish you the best of luck! Let me know how it goes!
Amazing attention to detail! Really inspirational. Thank you. And a very happy new year!
Thank you, and to you too!
Great work, engineering, and attention to detail. Awesome!!!!
Thank you!
This is a wonderful thing, and I bet the people crewing that real Centurion were delighted by the baby 1/6 version.
Haha, thank you! And yes, it got some appreciation from people who had worked with the real deal. 😊
I've just found out about these incredible giant armour models, I'm in love, I was wondering where they came from, now I know. Awesome stuff.
Cool! Thanks a lot for watching and welcome! 😊
What an awesome build and the detail is amazing thank you for sharing this full build
Thanks for watching!
There is no words for this..and the one that build this model...keep it up my friend.

I’ve just sat and watched the whole video of you scratch building that Tank, which I thought was absolutely fantastic. So well done. Thank you for posting that and letting us watch such a privilege love it
That's aweseome, thanks a lot! 👍👍👍🙏
Erik, thank you very much for sharing this wonderful video on New Years Eve. It was a pleasure to watch. I will share this with a couple of my friends who are interested in RC Tanks. Happy New Year to you and your family. May 2024 very a Prosperous year for you.

This is model making on another level. Incredible knowledge and skill. The engineering alone is epic. Congratulations.
Thanks a lot! 🙏
thats very cool, great work!
Thanks a lot!
Holy crap this is so good!
There's a lot to learn from you. I'm currently building a T-72 tank out of paper.
Thanks a lot! Oh, sounds cool! Will it be static or powered?
F ing awesome job! Thank you for sharing.
Big thanks for watching! 🙏🤘
incredible work!!!!!!
Thank you!
Vous êtes un géni !! Vraiment très beau et impressionnant de réalité ! Bravo !👍👍💪💪❤❤
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
Very nice build. You are a true Craftsman. I enjoy all your videos
Thank you! 🙏
That is some impressive work.
Thank you! 🙏
Excellent model making skills and ingenious choice of materials.:)
Thanks a lot and thanks for watching! 🙏🤘🙏
Outstanding! You gave us a hour of Wikander magic. Simple materials, simple construction technique yield a masterpiece. You need to make a cold war adversary now. Wonderful! Heres to 2024.
That's so kind of you, thanks a lot and thanks for watching! Yeah, there are soo many cool vehicles to build! Too many! 😅
@@builtbyWikander T55, you already have the parts! I dislike "that country" and their politics, but would make great adversary! Thanks for motivation, you got me thinking "How could I make a M24 Chaffee with wood"??? 🤔🤔
@@robertmorey4104 Dude, that's aweseom! The Chaffee won't be that huge in 1/6 either, very reasonable size! It's 100 % doable.
Yeah, I do have parts for a T-55, and it is a iconic vehicle, but as you said - I rather not give 'that country' anything for free. Perhaps it can be a DDR version, or a bridge layer. We had those here in Sweden in the 90:s.
I watched the whole video - this was really cool to see. wow.
That's aweseome, thank you so much for watching!
You are mad!!! Omg! The desing, details and function! This blew my effing mind!!! 10/10 my friend👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 much love from🇫🇮
Thank you so much and thanks for watching! 🙏
Hello from Texas, that was the most outstanding scratch built tank I've ever seen . your a genius , great video of the entire process as well.
Thanks a lot, mate! 🙏 Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
Just wow, I would call this art.
I really like it, well done.
Thank you! 🙏
I'm looking forward to it!
😊😊😊🙏
I'm thinking about turning a wpl e1 into a tank do you think thats a good idea?
@@Smg1730studios That's the tracked utillity vehicle that looks a bit like an MT-LB? I think that would be a greatvidea, you can be as creative you like! 🙂
I'll try my Best!
I think I might turn it into the soviet t 70 light tank
Begnadeter Modelbauer! Chapeau!
Thank you! 🙏
The model turned out amazing
Thank you!
Quite unbelieavble 👍👏
Thank you! 😊
Man, this is awesome
Thank you!
Incredible precision and attention to detail. I'm imagining this tank overrunning a 1/6th machinegun emplacement.
Thank you so much! 😄 That's an excellent idea!
Great job, great video.
Thank you for watching!
Crazy nice job 👍 man !!!
Thank you!
Excellent work. The movement, turret rotation, and speed all seem in scale.
Thank you!
Respect. That my good sir is a true piece of art.
Thanks a lot! 🙏
This is incredible
Thank you!
Penciling on the sharpened edge of the axe at 52:10 goes to show how much detail is in your work! I am amazed and very happy that you've shared the build process.
Thanks a lot, and thank you for watching!
Definitely your very best so far!!! I have had a love affair with the Centurion since I saw my first example - I was just six years old! Sitting on the turret at a show, I felt like a king. My love affair is still with me, although we are both now very old. Thank you for showing how it can be done.
That's an aweseome story, thanks a lot for watching! 🙏
Fantastic!!!
Thank you! Eller tack, av ditt namn att döma! 😊
Such a cool build and to see it coming out of a saab one of my fave cars was awesome
That's aweseome, thanks a lot for watching! Trying to keep my 9-3 in order so it can haul a lot more tanks in the future. 😁
Super nice Job...geile Sache
Thanks a lot! 🙏
Outstanding in every respect! You are very steady with your hand tools. :)
Thanks a lot and thanks for watching! 🙏
Great videos and they installed me to design tanks great job on bilding the centurion

Brilliant! Respect! Cheers from Warsaw...
Thanks a lot! 🇵🇱 🙏🙏🙏
Sandpapper för att imitera greppytorna, så uppenbart men så genialiskt. Älskar också piasavamodellen.
Tack! Den är kanske mest nöjd med av allt! 😅
super cool. awesome work. keep making more tanks.
Thank you!
Great 👍 Build Awesome job
Thanks a lot!

Very nice!
Thank you! 🙏🤘
Maravilloso trabajo. Felicitaciones desde 🇨🇱🇨🇱
Thank you!
oh boy, here we go
Man I sure wish I had the tools you have ! Cutting the hull out of wood would have saved me so much time Dx
I hope you're proud of that tank because it looks amazing. Great job !
(Love the licence plate. It seems you're in possession of the true last swedish centurion ! )
Thanks a lot! 🙏 You work with what you got. 😊 yeah, pretty happy with this one, it's a joy to drive around. Thanks, I made the registration plate one number higher than on the real 105, kind of like the production continued after the prototype. 😁
Fantastiskt projekt.
Tack! 🙏
This is awesome...now I know how you build this handsome tank
Thank you!
As an Old Centurion Gunner/Driver Mk 10/11 , 1968-70, I'm amazed how good your detailed model is. The UK model didn't have a single slide over drivers hatch. It was a double flip over with adjustable sights. The single hatch only came with the Chieftains. The Centurion was modified for numerous countries and was a superb battle tank in its day, In the winter months when out on exercise, we always slept on the back decks as they where nice and warm with the RR Merlin engine running all day. That certainly brings back many memories. Ho, I still have a distorted finger nail when changing a road wheel dropped on my finger, ouch that hurt.
That's so aweseome, thanks a lot for watching and commenting!
Edit: I think the hatch is unique for the Strv 105. It also got new suspension, ir sight and the same engine gearbox as the M60.
This is my favourite tank, bar none!
Awesome!
Brilliant.
Thabk you! 🙏
Ze boss ! futur Armotek of beautiful Sweden ! lol.... many thanks for a new video Buddy, with you all seems easy : few basic tools, process of "marine" wood +3d parts + aluminium.....and electrical ! = a unique and wonderful result as always ! many thanks for sharing "your way to do it" on this long run project, viva Tank mania and happy new year 24... take care Amigo : )
Thanks a lot for those kind words! 🙏 I wish you a great 2024 as well! Thanks for watching!
@@builtbyWikander Sorry, I'm fan of your work....take care : )
Un gran trabajo, felicitaciones.
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
why is this man so talented the end product is
beutiful!
Thanks a lot!
welcome sir
