@@hoonter08 Thank you

Hey! I used black acrylic paint at a pretty high water ratio - didn’t exactly measure but I would guess 1:8. This part was really forgiving because if you apply too much you can basically wipe it off and try again. I did several passes to gunk up different areas and get some contrast going. It was easier than I thought it would be! Just give it a try :)

@@hoonter08 Thanks for the help

Not sure I understand?

@@hoonter08 apologies, it was just a random nonsensical comment as there we're no other comments in this video. I'd just recently purchased Eclipse second dawn & I wanted to learn Planta strategies.

@@hoonter08I'm also kinda glad it elicited a response. Can you tell me anything about playing as the Planta faction?

Haha wondered if it was a 1st comment situation. My thoughts, Planta has the double explore benefit, so early on you should reveal lots of tiles and create a good ‘base’ for yourself. Don’t hesitate to throw away tiles in order to choose the best ones. Go for high production tiles and align your worm holes to minimize entrances into your base!

@@hoonter08 apologies I should of replyed to this, that's great thank you for the tips.

Thanks Ethan! I did SEVERAL passes of clear coat at the end. It’s in decent shape overall, though admittedly I baby it a bit 😅 some scuffs on the main feet area but overall it preserved well! Can’t wait to see you imperial version!

I can't wait to show it off! The hardest part so far is finding a case that has enough depth to fit everything.

Congrats! Looks great and very cool to see another version out in the wild! Nice work!

@@hoonter08 Thats HUGE coming from you buddy! But YOU were a big part of why these two cases were made! (I accidentally found this video while doing a search for Xwing 2.0) Your idea was beyond "too kewl" I just HAD to do it to have something different to bring to the gaming tables! I hope others follow your lead and make other versions of these cases!

So two methods. and I'll do my best to convey this with words alone. But the short answer, you need to cut all the way through. Pluck the whole piece out. 1. For the main pieces which require the full depth of the foam, just pull them right out. On the top two layers of my case, I laminated some black card stock cut to size of the whole piece of foam, then after plucking all the main sections, I glued it to the bottom of the foam -- ensuring you don't spread any glue over holes that are fully plucked. It actually makes the sheet a bit more firm and easier to remove. I also pinched two small straps in on either side when I glued it down to make handles to lift it out. You can see the little grey strap poking out at 7:08 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6mwcpxsr6mdqtE 2. For ships or parts that do not require the full depth, still start by cutting the piece right out, then measure the depth you need and cut the removed piece accordingly. Use a sharp, new, Olfa blade extended out and try to make the cut in one motion. For some of the thinner ones I glued these down to the laminated sheet at the bottom of the cavity, but most just fit in and hold snug against the foam - afterall it's a perfect fit! Hope that helps. btw would love to see what you've got going on!

@@hoonter08 This helps-Thanks a TON! BTW-Look me up on FB as I will be doing my own tutorial and reveal on what YOU inspired me to do!! I will be posting that as soon as I get everything "plucked" correctly..

Glad you found the link to the case. The foam inside is called 'pluck and pull' foam and is made up of tiny squares which are scored so they easily separate. All you need to do is lay your item down, loosen around the perimeter and remove the piece. Google pluck and pull foam and you'll get a better sense of what it looks like and how to work with it. Hope that helps!

@@hoonter08 I am sure it will-I am BIGTIME inspired and I would love to start showing up at the local gaming nights, & future tournaments, loaded for bear (Rebels of course!) with a case like this one! Again-GREAT WORK and I will keep in touch!!

Here are the dimensions, and link to the product online. Internal Dimensions:: 16-3/4 x 11-3/8 x 6-1/4" (42 x 28.95 x 15.8 cm) External Dimensions: 18-1/4 x 14-3/8 x 6-15/16" (46.3 x 36.5 x 17.6 cm) www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/maximum-waterproof-tool-box-medium-0581544p.html

Two foam sheets came with the case, they also sold extra pieces that are the right size so I bought 1 extra which also fits!

You can see the 4 cans I used at the 30sec mark - Matte Black, Matte Grey, Matte Red, Matte Beige

Thanks Mercury! I love using tools to visualize a project before getting going, anything where I can iterate or version the concept before committing. Thanks for the comment!

Case was the most expensive piece, aside from that about $50 in paint!

I used the matte beige colour as a base coat, then did designs with gery, red, black. I clear coated at a few different points during the process, basically anytime I wanted to preserve what I had I would clear coat it, then continue working on top. Hope that answers your question

Jason Hunter Thank you kindly for replying 🙏

I wasn't sure how easily they would be removed and replaced so I didn't bother. The handle still moves freely after all the paint so it didn't seem to cause a problem. If you wanted to paint the handle a different colour than the case it would make sense to try and remove it.

@@hoonter08 Thankyou for the response I really appreciate it

thanks very much!

Спасибо!

Thanks Andrew!

Thanks Juan!

ahh that would have been good! I'm pleased with how the weathering turned out, but it is certainly more 'dirty' then 'worn' -- good advice, will keep in mind for the next one! ;)

Thanks! It was a fun project

Give it a go for sure! This was my first attempt so hopefully after watching this video you are already more experienced ;) You hit it on the head that patience is the key, don't rush! Each step you see here was a whole night of taping and masking

@@carrickdubya4765 Nice one! Its amazing how much better something feels once you've customized it a bit, matching your bike sounds awesome! Best of luck!

Hey Oscar, it has held up pretty good! There are a few gauges where I hit the case against a sharp metal corner of a table, but other than that there is really no damage. big thumbs up!!

Hi Chris, here is a link to the case. They often go on sale up to 70% off, I think I got it for around $60 at the time www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/maximum-waterproof-tool-box-medium-0581544p.html

You should do it! I'd love to see what you come up with :D

Thanks man!

Thanks Patricia! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Hi Raven! My current collection is only Rebels, so I'm not needing an Empire or Scum version. However it would be lots of fun to create! Thanks for your comment!
