Bandai 1/72 B-Wing Starfighter Pt III S Foils and LED Lasers

[@miamijules2149]

I’ve got…. no bulls****, about 15-20 models waiting for me to start building (B-Wing, A-Wing, Ties & X-Wings, I’ve got AT-ATs and ATs, Connies & Galaxies & Mirandas & Excelsiors and man am I STOKED I found this channel!! Unlike so many build videos, these actually show precisely how you’re doing it so it can be repeated. I am, honestly, much obliged - can’t wait to play hookie at work tomorrow to build! Hahaha

[@modelsbychris]

Cool. If it helps others to build models, then I've done what I wanted. Give ideas, pointers and inspire for your own builds.

[@SpencerWolfe]

Ah ... metal tubing, fiber optics, thin wires and small spaces. Dealing with that on my Bird of Prey right now. Awesome work!

[@bogrot69]

I built the Boba Fett kit and immediately became addicted. I've since completed the X Wing Starfighter Red 5, Vader, the Tie Interceptor and I have three more on deck. R2/3PO, Millennium Falcon and the Scout Trooper w/ Speeder Bike. I haven't ventured into lighting yet but the detail in these kits makes it such a pleasure to take time with the painting and weathering. The finished product looks amazing. Looking forward to seeing the final result!

[@modelsbychris]

They are amazing kits. I have half a dozen more waiting to build. I also recently completed the speeder bike kit. Photos can be seen on my Facebook page.

@@modelsbychris Nice, I'll check it out. I just came home with two more myself 🤣🤣

Very cool now I have an idea of how to do my AT-ST battle diorama.

You are a skilled craftsman Chris. Enjoy the day. Ray L

Another great video. Thanks and keep up the excellent work, waiting for the next part.

[@sdmproductions2949]

Great work on the guns using the metal tubing makes a big difference so cool.

[@scalemodelereric]

Great video Chris, that gives good ideas for my B-wing fighter

[@artus928]

Amazing, as always. Many thanks for your great and helpful vids!

[@benjaminfulcher4729]

since you're using fiber anyways , to prevent light leakage , I would recommend having LED further up barrel inside metal tubing .

[@modelsbychris]

The led won't fit down the diameter of the tubing I used.

[@MrTerott]

I really like how you make these vids

[@ryansergeant2896]

Great build. So glad I subscribed to your channel. Question, where did you order your .4mm copper tubing?

[@modelsbychris]

I got it on Amazon.

[@ryansergeant2896]

@@modelsbychris Thanks. Very kind of you to take the time.

[@modelsbychris]

@@ryansergeant2896 Actually, if you're referring to the 1/32" tubing for the guns, I got it at Hobby Lobby. All of that tubing came from Hobby Lobby. I did get some 1mm tubing from Amazon with a .3mm hole though that I used for the Jupiter 2 model. www.amazon.com/dp/B07NMJT2LL/?coliid=I2HVQ45OIWJOA&colid=17UEKPCTSE47L&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

[@DarthPerfidy]

Excellent work. What drill bits do you use? Is it a particular set?

[@modelsbychris]

Just whatever I find on Ebay usually. I haven't gotten enough to find if there's a particular brand that's better than others.

[@k2flagship]

Where do you buy your LEDs and fiberoptics?

[@modelsbychris]

Ebay. Plenty of sellers and very reasonable prices. My fibers I get specifically from seller me80 on Ebay.

[@bellwitch007]

Do you mind sharing where you are able to find the studio model references? Please.

[@modelsbychris]

modelermagic.com has a gallery section where people have submitted photos from different Star Wars conventions where the studio models have been on display. And also just Google searching ILM studio models.
