[@musicmate70]

I have just purchased this model looking forard to building it I have not done any modelling for well over 45 years so am feeling a little apprehensive atm so I will be watching this video closely so I hope I dont go wrong :)

[@bb-yk8oe]

how did it go?

[@musicmate70]

@@bb-yk8oe went ok liked wow it didnt need to be glued have not painted it or done the decals yet but happy with how the build went cheers for asking

[@jasongould405]

Looks great, how did you get away with the enamel wash not cracking the model? Impressive👍

[@AlexModeling]

Protected the surface with clear coat. After all "clean" applied dull coat

[@hakunamitatas8525]

I'm quite happy it uses transfers and requires almost no paint 👍🏻

[@UKscalemodeller]

I have GOT to get me one of these. Beautiful work Alex. Panel accent worked superbly. Great to see you enjoyed this one.

[@AlexModeling]

I didn t even painted it... aplyed the wash and a small filter tontone down the white and then a matt coat to get the plastic shine down... lot of fun...

[@jimr7154]

Wow Just saw this incredible job with the weathering on it 👍 I was skeptical at first because you were not painting per say as you went but came together nicely at the end Awesome 👍😉

[@ColonelRebScaleModels]

AMAZING!!! Loved watching you use the Tamiya Panel Line Accent, can't wait to get some and use it on all my Gundams!!! And leaving it as additional grime really added to the dirty, weathered effect!!! Great work, buddy, really enjoyed watching u work!!!👍

[@AlexModeling]

Colonel Reb's Scale Models Thanks! its an amazing kit... and the panel line reall acted as a filter... leaving it white but not as white... i thought some of it should stay... thanks

Hello Alex. You have the talent to build the diorama. Hope you had a great Christmas and got lots of kits to build. From across the pond Ray L.

[@AlexModeling]

jbll36 Thank you! ;)

[@jjab99]

Great Job Alex and a great looking model too, well done my friend.

[@Musky4489]

Awesome build. Only suggestion is, believe it or not, the exhaust port is actually flush to the floor of the trench..its not standing upright. Makes Luke's shot even that more impossible ;)

[@AlexModeling]

Andy Muscarello never olnoticed that... thank you! :) cheers

[@Musky4489]

AlexModeling Since it is raised up a bit you could probably take your exhaust port and just plop it on the edge of your main base s3files.core77.com/blog/images/lead_n_spotlight/lead_400_40400_.jpg

[@AlexModeling]

Andy Muscarello agree... thanks again

[@LINJ638]

Just out of curiosity, since the colors for the X-Wing body is already molded in for you, what color did you use to paint the pilot and R2-D2 Figures?

[@jimrogers2089]

Great work. I have built the Bandai R2-D2 and just picked up the X-wing and General Grievous kits. I love the technique near the end that you used for paint chipping. Is that a piece of sponge you are using. And are you applying paint, paint wash, or panel line? (I mean on the wing edges, nose, etc.) Again, great job.

[@AlexModeling]

Its one of those electronic dark sponges... clean the execess paint first...im applying Tamyia panel line! :)

[@jimrogers2089]

[@scottmcleod5428]

Great vid and work. I was wondering what do you use to add detail to the lines in the model? I'm new to modelling and would appreciate the advice😀

[@aeglosdir6368]

It's Tamiya panel line accent

[@SonOfAnder1989]

Hey Alex, that vallejo acrylic matte varnish you used towards the end - was that aerosol? Applied with a regular brush? Or something you put in an air brush?

[@finnishmodelling1608]

Nice work! You may wanna use next time a wash with abit more brownish tint on it, so its not pure black. But its up to you!👍🏼

[@dionsybico9098]

hi there! im a bit of a newbie and was looking into getting this kit for myself. i was wondering if u used the waterslide decals for this or was this the stickers? also what was that u used to brush the pilots dashboard? :)

[@idiot5214]

Awesome, my dad got me 2 bandai kits. Excited to do it on my own. You guys got tips for first timers?

[@aeglosdir6368]

Do you use any micro set or microsol? Can I just use microsol without the micro set?

[@dannymontoya9469]

The details are fantastic. You made a toy look like a fine scale replica. Nice work.lm in a building slump and your videos are very inspiring.Thank You from America

These are not toys these are action figures well um action models.

[@fedeky1]

Hi Men, nice wok!!!... Un your expirence for this model, Is it best apply a coat before the panel line?

One before sothat the wash can flow... a Clear one.. and another clear to seal all befire the mate

[@chwalimir9502]

What brushes did you use, when you were washing panel lines? BTW nice build :)

[@dionsybico9098]

Chwalimir would like to know this as well

[@LINJ638]

Hi Alex, in your opinion, what kind of paint do you use to paint the plastic so it doesn't get too brittle and where do you think is the best place to get them? At offline such as Amazon or at your local hobby shop, which is becoming harder to harder to find these days.

[@AlexModeling]

I like tamyia paints very much.. and i 99% of time go to my local hobbie shop! :)

[@LINJ638]

which do you think is cheaper though, online or in in stores? and is it the same with the brush that you got there though?

[@AlexModeling]

Well.. online is always a bit cheaper there are no middle men... but on local shops you sometimes get that small discount or product you saw and... il take it... you know?

[@LINJ638]

Yes, I have heard of many people say that before. Oh, this came to my mind, did you use water decals or stickers and what you recommend modelers to use for this kit?

[@AlexModeling]

I used both! I wanted the decal quality but also to try the stickers.. good quality both

[@ArmourEmpire]

Big thumbs up. Nice job indeed Alex

[@AlexModeling]

Armour Empire Thank you for this one Mark! you have quite a colection of these also... saw yoir video today... thumbs up!

[@AlexModeling]

+Barnabas Soh yes.. simple as that!

[@khoinguyen5063]

What kind of tools do you need? I just got this set and i'm a complete beginner

[@brianrussell2083]

Nice build up my friend keep up with the good work

[@dragonfyre79]

Did you use any other paints on the x-wing itself, or just the panel line accent?

[@megatron8490]

hey I just got the rogue one version for Christmas yesterday and was wandering how to did the decals so easily and perfectly.

[@AlexModeling]

+Scarecrow Syndrome This one has half decals on and half stickers

[@megatron8490]

okay thank you. I didn't notice till after the video.

[@steves1112000]

If it helps, I built the Bandai Snowspeeder. The decals weren't too bad. A little thick, but in register.

[@Nyte166]

Hey Alex, do you know if there's a model that is already painted and/or already stuck together? Greetings

[@AlexModeling]

+Ti St hello! I don t know but revell makes some dantastic snap fit kits. .. all you have to do is cut from sprue and snap fit thenpieces and... voila! :)

[@solarismoon3046]

I take it that you don't have any proper references. I built this same kit. However it doesn't have the same decals as yours does. The new Ban Dai kits are of Red 1 and the only thing that they allow you to modify is the call number stripes. The stickers are horrible as are the decals. The vinyl stands out like a sore thumb and the decals don't stick to the plastic once dry! I now have vinyl chevrons and decal stripes that I had to cobble together so that they would look at least half way decent. I might STILL remove them even though I clear coated them and repaint them so that they will be correct and hopefully the same colour as the red between the two mediums are not exact. You did a great job until you realized that the wing assembly was upside down!! Don't feel bad - my vision is bad now but I had to pull the laser canons apart at least TWO of them so that I could put them together right, I didn't know that they had different shapes on the ends so I wondered why they wouldn't go together until I got to the last one and saw that it too wouldn't go together! UGH!! Whoever designed this that way should have it shoved up their ass!!! They should've made all the laser canons the same so that it wouldn't make a difference how you assembled them until you got to gluing them to the wings. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us. Keep on building - it IS a dying art!

[@alessiodecarolis]

Only a question: how is possibile such an engineering Marvel? I remember the awful AMT kit, and then from the Far East arrive the definitive X fighter

[@thinhnguyeduy412]

[@LINJ638]

that you put on the plastic models? Not made. sorry.

[@AlexModeling]

[@LINJ638]

Would the stickers on top would be affected as well?

[@LINJ638]

Did you manage use up all the stickers and decals on there or both?

[@LINJ638]

Separate question, I don't know if I am asking this right, but which part did you use stickers and which part did you use it for decals?

[@megatron8490]

i was also wandering how you got the black paint to be so water-like and able to use it so easily?

interesante este tipo de montajes y aunque aparentemente parece sencillo, ya te digo por propia experiencia que no lo es. Tengo en proyecto futuro 2 modelos y uno ya terminado que me ha impresionado los acabados y aplicando algunas tecnicas, como muestras en el video, queda muy pero que muy bien. Gracias por el video compañero, como siempre muy interesante.

[@LINJ638]

Hi, I want to know is did you just glue the decals on there? If so, what kind of glue or solution did you actually use?

[@AlexModeling]

Some were stickers other decals... and for the decals i used Humbrol Decalfix! :)

[@LINJ638]

and can you use Microsol and Microset solution for decals? and for modelling, what kind of brushes do you use? and if so, how thin are they?

[@AlexModeling]

Well.. all i can tell you is that for decals you should use microset and microsol... as for the brushes... if you see my videos.. for detail i use double 0 or triple 0
