WOW!! I love lights! It looks so realistic with these explosions. I am glad that there is some talent still left in this world. Thank you for sharing this with us. I bought the Rogue Squadron not knowing what to expect but when I saw this tiny X-wing I was thinking that I would simply resell it on evilbay, but I built it and painted it and now it is one of my favourite builds and I love the look of it! Of course I have references so that it will be a lot more accurate than most peoples' models. I took my time with it and I have to make some decals for the laser canons then I can call it done. Thank you for sharing your vision and your talent with us. It is truly inspiring.

Beautiful job! About the only thing I can fault the basic kit on is the Exhaust Port tile being from the 1/72 X-Wing originally is too big for a 1/144 set, although the turret which was originally provided with the 1/72 A-Wing is about right. So the target area is a bit bigger than two meters wide. Love what you have done with it though!

Try adding fiber optic tubing slightly around the explosion in a "flower shape" with the cotton explosion in the center. The led will light the explosion but also the fiber optics to look like an explosion with sparks also. Try a couple samples and see which is best. Good luck

Beautiful work there! Splendidly well done! I don't really get to assemble model kits anymore...I lack shelf space, which is largely taken up by pre-built, pre-crafted miniatures like Fantasy Flight Games ships for Star Wars X-Wing, Star Wars Armada, and Star Wars Rebellion. However, I do find that the model pieces, and sometimes the usually nicely detailed instruction sheets that come with the Bandai kits make for excellent texture sources because I like to make 3D CG models in Blender.

@11:05 -- Artistic license! (It's fine -- it's your project/toy, enjoy your own customization. I'm not that anal and Lucasfilm wasn't either. No two models of the SAME ship were exactly alike!.) There were no Blue Squadron X-wings in the Battle of Yavin. Most of the Blue Squadron was wiped out at the Battle of Scarif. Of course, if you've read the novelization of Star Wars, the Marvel Comics adaptation, or the original script, Luke's squadron was originally called Blue Squadron before the issue of the blue screen process for the special effects reared its ugly head. Some of the surviving X-wing models from the original Star Wars showed signs of blue striping on them, too.

Great work and the lighting looks absolutely amazing! I´m just about to build some 1/72 kits, three TIE fighters are finished, next I´m going to start with the X- and Y-Wing (also Bandai).

So with everything going on with the quarantine I am looking into getting into SW Bandai models. Any recommendation for tools and which set or two I should start with? As a beginner?

@InterstellarModeler

4 жыл бұрын

Hi...it all depends on how much detail you want to add to these models. You can build them without paint, glues/adhesives. In that case I would just get a sprue cutter and nail files. If you want to do more detailing the sky's the limit but you would need something to apply paints such as spray cans....I would recommend Tamyia sprays because they emit finer mists. My recommendation, start simple, get a sprue cutter and nail files (nothing fancy). Piece it together from the box. The Snow Speeder, A Wing, X Wings or a Tie Fighter are a good start. See how it goes. If you want to start adding battle damage, scorching and such, let me know and I can advise further. Hope that helps.
