I finally found and bought the vintage Kenner Sandcrawler in my country (NL) last saturday. It was the holy grail to my vintage collection. Been wanting it since I was an 80s kid. :)

Thanks Eben!

I could have stared at that sand crawler for hours and not seen everything going on, it was one of the highlights of going to Wonderfest.

I really appreciate it unpainted but can't wait to see it painted!

100% a proper paint and wash will make this already mindblowing model just be insane.

I love seeing all the kit parts, a bunch of which I recognize (and in some cases have the kits they came from). This one is a feast for the eyes!

Hope we get to see it finished. In 1978 I built a 1/64 scale Jawa Sand Crawler. I only had the SW movie program and a few Starlog magazine photos. It is far from 100% accurate but for the info I had pretty close. It is still today one of my all time favorite builds!! Thx

Nerf Herder's Worksop member here. We have lots going on with our builds over there! You can lurk and see what we do for studio & commercial kit models there, and maybe you can start taking those steps into building your own studio scale model yourself. The TIE Bomber and Imperial Probe Droid Pod are great first scratch build studio models to start with!

It's perfect the mood lighting, the detail, everything, what a beautiful model.

Gosh I miss old Starwars

I absolutely LOVED this video! Last month, I started building my first model since age 14; I went “big” and chose the Polar Lights 1/350 USS Enterprise w/lights. Though I’m 65, I think I can do this. I had to retire in ‘08 with PTSD after responding as a paramedic to the Pentagon on 9/11; my MD thought trying modeling again would be helpful- and it is! 😊 Chris is so impressive and has motivated me even more. Mr. Savage, thank you very much for these type of videos and all the hard work you do producing them. Norm- you do a great job yourself, Sir! God Bless- J. ‘Doc’ Lykins, former USN Hospital Corpsman and Paramedic (Ret.)

I have always loved the sandcrawler, and seeing this model with all this detailing is just incredible! Thanks for sharing this!

Great to see Chris’s work get exposure on tested I’ve been following his work for a few years as a fellow collector…he’s got a great r/s propmasters collection as well.

Get that painted dude! Phenomenal build but it needs that crawler rusty brown exterior finish 😍

Such a talented model builder. You deserve the accolades!! Just fantastic

Thanks brother!!

Dedicated to detail he is. Wonderful work and detail. We need an update after he paints this.

The detail of stuff in that thing is unbelievable. I can't imagine the countless hours that went into that. It's like looking at a Where's Waldo scene. That's off to you, that thing is amazing!

Chris has done some amazing work here , the level of detail is amazing . The Randy Cooper crawler is real nice if you want to put in the work but the work Chris has done is on another level . Also check out his podcast where he talks about builds like this .

I appreciate your time and work creating this wonderful piece.

Constructed with pure joy.

Amazing to see, and Chris couldn't have been any nicer to talk to. One of the best pieces there :)

MASSIVE amount of work‼️

Damn that's nice! I always wanted a Sandcrawler playset. That way I can store all of my Star Wars loose pieces and kibble in it as junk for the Jawas to sell.

cant wait for more models to be shown. i hope the inside info i got makes it into a video

I like your idea of calling all 24 "The supervisor", because that person has all the badges at this point. 😂

Dude 2 years for doing this in your free time is not bad at all. I would have guessed twice as long.

Loved this so much. Love you both. Old friends need to stick together. You can't make many more.

Wow, the detail of the Sandcrawler is truly awe inspiring. 😀 I'd love to do that with a Imperial Star Destroyer, but I don't think I have a large enough building to even try to build it in... For the full set of all the badges, some naming suggestions: "Destruction Functions", " The 'I swear it', Demerit Bundle", or perhaps the "The Learning Curve Collection"?

Definitely want to see it painted!

awesome sandcrawler really great model and will be even better when painted and weathered

Woooow!! I went speechless when I saw this great sandcrawler!!! I wish haslab could work alongside him and give this beauty to the collectors 🥲🥲🥲🥲 it’s really beautiful. Congratulations for this amazing job.

Really, really incredible build. Also love the concept of the de-merit badges, I'm sure I've earned all of them by now. Also, gotta say that the sandcrawler would make an incredible Burning Man art vehicle.

love the Airfix 1/24 parts Harrier Jet Pegasus engines at the rear !

Absolutely 💯 fabulous! 👏 👏 👏

I'm totally stoked I have NO word's 👍🏽💯💯💯💯🤗💕

What an incredible piece of art✨

This amazing. There is so much talent out there. It’s a treat when we get to see it. Thank you both so much for sharing. Really incredible work.

The Imperial probe droid being used as a scrap shovel is a nice touch.

this is beautiful - amazing work !!!

Now this what HASLAB should release this would be awesome to buy

@7:14 the Jawa on the left is looking into what seems to be the entrance to the Kenner Ewok's Treehouse playset. On the middle rear wall, it appears to be the Drive Sprockets, and Wheel Bogies from a Tank kit. The red lighted section also looks like a Lower Hull and the Exhaust Deck from a Tank. I love the ingenuity in making "other stuff" look like it belongs there! Fantastic build. The Force is truly strong with this one. 😃

Looks like an Empire themed sand crawler!

This is just so amazing...I still have mine from 1978 although the remote no longer works.

Wow! What a fantastic build. Thanks 🎸🔪

Very nice sandcrawler. And a nice suprise visit by the Bad patch at the end =)

They will be back... and in greater numbers....

The ship of my dream for the vintage kenner… with a great scale … Haslab maybe one day !

Awesome work Chris! I'm glad more people are getting to see your fantastic build.

Thanks Jonathan

I kind of love a sand crawler that's solid white like this. Even if it doesn't make much sense

you guys need to meet again next year

Always love Norm’s, now yearly, Wonderfest model room videos! Love this art form!

Wonderfest at the good ole Crowne Plaza. When I worked there as an Maintenance Tech. these shows helped make up for the low pay. Wonderfest was always a win with the nicest and most creative people showing off their Models and Projects.

Noticed that there's a B2EMO (B2 groundmech) from Andor in there, that's a pretty neat touch to combine some of the old with the "new".

I’m doing an Excelsior that’s been in the works for a decade and so many people have helped me along the way.

Wow😱 you are blessed with talent. Great job 👍

Next Haslab right here!👍

Tree of Wisdom Badges; without failure, without adversity, without going back to the drawing board, there is no wisdom gained to pass on. Goes without saying how truly EPIC this sand crawler build is. Please post a post paint vid to youtube or forward to Tested PLEASE!

incredible and yes there's a scene in star wars where r2 is sucked into the sandcrawler

I saw those Rolls-Royce Pegasus engines from Harrier kits. Total ILM move.

I'm so glad stuff like this exists and I don't feel the need to collect any of it.

Some videos, you can click the Like button even before you view it. This is one of those. Utinni!

HOOTEEENY!!

I did get almost all, with the exception of the Lizzard and the double decker car, diorama from the intro associated with movies I have seen. ... Oh gods! I have become old!

Great job!!

Oh my freakin god! 😳

07:17 The "wall" with the red lights seems to be made from a german Jagdtiger ... it's the engine deck behind the crew compartment. :)

Very cool!

We don't see them getting C-3PO into the Sandcrawler, but we absolutely do see the Jawas getting R2-D2 into it. He's sucked up a big vacuum tube along the exterior side and then dumped into the main hold.

The Fandom is the Force.

Great job! Adam we'll see you in dallas!!

Beautiful build and great diagrams… but we do see R2-D2 getting sucked up into the sand crawler in Star Wars (1977).

@chrisbenware7876

Oh yeah Your right.

I saw A New Hope in '77 in Mystic Seaport, CT, and there is definitely a scene where R2-D2, The Savior of the Star Wars Universe, gets sucked into the sand crawler by a huge pneumatic tube,... (which I'm sure was not huge at all)

Norm did a great job with this one.

The Jawa hanging upside down.

"The whole de-merit kit n kaboodle" is my suggestion 😊🤘🏼🇺🇲

Unrelated request. History Hit just did a D day movie thing and they had these fake paratroopers called Rupert that they tossed out of planes as a distraction. They look amazing and it seems like a super fun restoration/reconstruction right up your alley

I would call the bundled the true tested maker Merit collection

I spy some harrier jet exhausts at the back

There's a bunch of tank model parts inside this thing.

I saw the Jagdtiger hull as a wall piece behind the probe droid.

thats cold

Worthy of ILM.

GONK, C3PO, and R2, noice.

Definitely need a video on that Gigahorse model from Mad Max

Here is a name for the demerit badge bundle: The "We Need To Talk About Your Lack of Flair" Bundle.

Holy heck❣️🤩

Call the badge collection the "Demeritus Collection"!

Regarding the De-Merit badge bundle for all badges, perhaps the Catastrophic Success Bundle?

Call the all badge package the " Big Blunder Bundle"

Wow

Who here thinks the Sandcrawler is the coolest Star Wars vehicle ever! Imagine if you owned a real sandcrawler, what would you do with it?!

Go on vacation.

6:15 you DO get to see R2 brought into the sandcrawler in the film.

I’ve always wondered if a sand crawler inspired gold wash plant would be efficient for Parker on Gold Rush. He seems to have found that using a conveyor to lift the pay material to the plant directly from the cut is more efficient than trucking the material all the way up to the plant so the wash plant ends up getting moved often for each new cut and looks very difficult to move.

What does a Jawa order at the bar? Martini!

still the most amazing Star Wars scale model is a real walking AT-AT built by Brazilian modeler 15 years ago.

R2 is vacuumed up a tube into the Sandcrawler

Where does Tested get their badges/patches printed? They look high quality and I can't find any company that can consistently create good patches.

I am ready to buy your full bundle of all demerit badges, I think you could call it "The Punishment Bundle", and I take one please.

That is really cool Adam 🙂

It's a Greeblie trellis.

the spice harvester looks great or sorry I mean "Sandcrawler"

Very cool model indeed ohh no the cockpit looked out of scale with the rest I don't think those figures could have fit in that cockpit area they looked under scaled back great job nonetheless.
