Love the orange. Like to think it denotes a Special Escort for Rebel VIP ships.

[@ScalerDan]

Thank you for your thoughts on the model. I really like the idea of ​​a special escort. The design stands out too much for a standard fighter. Regards ScalerDan

[@solarismoon3046]

This is really pretty! I love dioramas. They're so satisfying to look at. This is very inspiring. I am going to make one with the X-Wing Fighters that I have but I'm going to make a more industrial version inside a Rebel hangar. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us to enjoy!

[@ScalerDan]

Thank you very much for this kind comment! It means a lot to me that this diorama is being well received. I also had a rebel hangar in mind for future projects, dirty and packed with a thousand things to keep the eyes busy. We should just get started...Regards ScalerDan

[@scaleffect]

The scheme makes me think it belongs to some kind of security force, like CorSec. Very nice build, thanks for sharing your hard work.

[@ScalerDan]

Thank you again for your appreciation. I'm very happy with the result, although it comes out a little cleaner than planned. I had to google CorSec first but your impression fits very well. It's nice if someone thinks more deeply...Regards ScalerDan

Unmasking canopies is my biggest form of satisfaction ;)

[@ScalerDan]

Sad but true ;)

[@brungerbuilds]

Great detail! The cockpit work was insane! Currently prepping for a Yavin IV diorama and this was a great help!

[@ScalerDan]

Thank you very much for your nice comment. I am very happy to give a little inspiration. Enjoy your diorama build, Yavin IV will definitely be great. Regards ScalerDan

[@Iskelderon]

Great job! The style in which Bandai does its instructions takes some time to get used to, but after enough Gundam kits, your brain learns to switch modes. 🤣

[@ScalerDan]

Thank you very much! I should build more of these kits, then the brain will work. Regards ScalerDan

[@petrihiltunen4478]

Great video! Decalling a racecar model AND removing masking tape from any model are my two most favourite parts in modelling :D

[@ScalerDan]

@@petrihiltunen4478 Thank you very much! With the first decals it starts looking like a finished model and removing masking tape with high contrast colours is just satisfying. Regards ScalerDan

[@Quaralane]

Definitely liking the custom color scheme here

[@ScalerDan]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you like it. Regards ScalerDan

That looks great! Really nice work. Love the paint scheme.

[@ScalerDan]

Thank you for your kind comment. I had a lot of fun painting it and removing the masking tape. Regards ScalerDan

[@wonsworld61]

what a beautyiful build and diorama.. congratulations

[@ScalerDan]

Thank you for the kind comment. This motivates me to build another one. Regards ScalerDan

[@Leescreativeart]

Really nice build and those are some great droids. I just checked and I have this same kit but also Micro Machines made a bunch of starwars characters in the same scale!!! I have like 150 of them to play with…. My head is spinning with ideas. Haha.

[@ScalerDan]

Thank you for your kind words. That sounds like a great collection. I'm already thinking about a new Star Wars diorama but I can't decide which one. B-Wing or Millennium Falcon... luxury problem! Regards ScalerDan

[@Leescreativeart]

@ I see falcons all over. Maybe the B wing? Something different or less frequent at least. Haha. Great work again on the xwing. I’m off to church then cleaning and organizing my desk before the next build!

[@modelchili]

Looks amazing!

[@ScalerDan]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Regards ScalerDan

[@ModelNerd]

Looks really good. I'm looking back at some of your other Star Wars builds now. Was this X-wing OK with the thinner you used for the oil paints? I've read that Bandai plastic goes brittle and snaps when exposed to it, and that certainly seemed to be the case on my Y-wing - bits started breaking and falling off a few weeks later.

[@ScalerDan]

@@ModelNerd Thank you very much for watching and commenting. I like Bandai but you have to be really careful when using Mr. Hobby like thinners. I try to use as less thinner as possible. It also helps to use a good clear coat before weathering. On the X-wing I could avoid problems but I had a At-At which fell apart after a while. Regards ScalerDan

[@alvaro2338]

Good Job!

[@johnacsyen]

Where did you get the crew 3d models? Tia

[@ScalerDan]

I got the 3D files from thingiverse. Unfortunately I don't have the file name for the droids. It's best to search for starwars, hangar, droids... I also like to use 'Cults.' to find 3D files. Regards ScalerDan

[@johnacsyen]

@@ScalerDan thanks for the quick reply

[@Touchdown67]

Tremendous....great work!

[@billsfilmsinc]

Great build! I really like the red paint scheme on the X-Wing. It's a nice take on the classic look. Subscribed!

[@ScalerDan]

Thank you for the nice comment, that motivates me to keep going. I still have a few Bandai kits in stock...so it won't be the last Star Wars project. Regards ScalerDan

[@bearbergmann2782]

Funny, I hate masking the most. Peeling it off after is so much better!

[@ScalerDan]

I can absolutely agree with that. The only thing worse for me is filling and sanding. Regards ScalerDan
