The same Vietnamese dad who built the epic Mercedes Vision AVTR and the Audi Skysphere for his children has built another equally amazing car using wood.
Now, his latest creation is a tank made entirely of wood. And it’s completely functional.
The tank he built is modelled after the French EBR 105 Panhard, the same model that was used in World War II.
To build the tank, Dao Truong Van used a 16-seat Mitsubishi bus he found in a junkyard as its base. When interviewed by Supercarblondie, he said, “I started by dismantling the Mitsubishi, then I cut off the entire body to get the chassis.”
He said the tank turret not only rotates but it also shoots. But it does not shoot explosives. The wooden tank fires foam bullets pushed out by two 775 motors. They can hit targets up to three meters away.
Mr. Dao said his mission wasn’t to create anything dangerous, he wanted to “simulate the function of guns.”
The Vietnamese dad said the inspiration for the build came from playing World of Tanks, which is when he noticed his “children were quite excited about tanks.”
“I have made many wooden supercars for my kids, and I wanted to create something new,” he said.
Mr. Dao said it took him three months to build the tank, but he committed to it as if it were a full-time job.
And it paid off, too, because it can also do the 360-degree tank turn. Here’s a video of it:
Many have wonderful reactions concerning the tank. Here are what viewers have to say,
“Absolutely incredible craftsmanship.”
“Looking at the video, I think dad’s having more fun in the model than his son is.”
“Amazing craftsmanship, beautiful product, and it seems the plans came from a picture and your own mind that’s mind-blowing!”
Speaking about tanks, here’s an article about the most expensive car tanks in the world.
