True, I mean it's a rebel ship. They tend to always look old and outdated. This "restoration" basically amounts to; clean everything out, take out the old paint and stickers, fix the electronics, apply new stickers and be done. No weathering, no new paint job, nothing. Even R2-D2 got a new paint job. It's like the laziest "restoration" ever. It looks good but there is no "soul" to it.

I didn't know you can fix the yellowing -- amazing! And, as always, idk how you ever get these projects put back together again! If I tried painting the silver on that blue dome, it would have been all over the place. Your hands are so steady!

Many thanks for this very helpful video. For some reason I never owned an X-Wing Fighter until yesterday. The light was working, but not the sound. I've never been good at repairing things, but I managed to get the sound to work, and now the X-Wing Fighter is working perfectly. The Luke Skywalker I've had since 1978 is sitting inside it now. I was also able to repair my TIE Fighter a few months ago.

Luke returns from Dagobah to get his x-wing detailed by, "This Guy!".

As my wife and I watched this great restore, my 3 year old daughter came into the room asking what was happening. We told her you were fixing it. At the end she shouted "IT'S READY TO FLY!" Great video.

amazing and entertaining to watch someone doing something with such care and thought.

Your work is absolutely amazIng! Thanks for sharing!

I saw the Falcon, but had missed this one - thank you again, it’s so lovely to see childhood toys being brought back to life, and all in slightly less than 15 minutes...

Beautifully filmed and really impressive how easy it is to follow even without any narration. Great result too obviously! I have an old X-Wing, but have lost the cockpit canopy and a couple of the laser canons sadly. Wonder if you can 3D print them...?

Interesting question, how good can you 3d print clear materials?

@@cameralabs Theoretically, yes. It would be really hard to accurately create those in the computer, let alone print to that level of quality. A resin type of printer would be the best bet. Or some kind of casting process instead of 3D printing.

Unless you get them done with someone who has a really nice setup, you'll probably notice that the parts are 3d printed. Plus the plastic may not match. But if you know someone with a printer, it's probably a cheap option. You could print the "metal" frame of the canopy and glue in some clear plastic panels. Printing clear, even with resin, isn't going to be clear. I may be wrong. Technology advances so fast. Go to thingiverse and see if someone has already modeled your cannon parts.

Outstanding restoration. That X-wing is like new again.

This brings back memories of my childhood. Great job 👏

Like Vader used to say: "Impressive, most impressive." 😎👍🏼

Careful now, when choosing the right tool, don’t... “force” yourself.

Omg... Really? Lol

One of my favorite toys when I was a child. Had a tie interceptor also. Good times. Ty for the video. Great job.

This is one of the few toys I had as a child. We lost everything in the fire. It was beautiful to see it again.
