Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer - 1/2700 Revell Zvezda - Sci-fi model

[@Unforgiveness]

degree of diffculties: easy, medium, hard, extra hard, legendary, and then there's Plasmo

[@sttm1283]

id give up just by the thought of drilling all the optic holes. came out awesome though, thats the difference between regular modelers and plasmo :D

[@sylvainh2o]

yeah i wish they would sell some already made make an easier chain production factory of those.

[@sukhoisu-27flankerbdude92]

Im A medium level builder

[@stopredless8447]

So true

[@pinguspringus8356]

Difficulty levels: Clip together no paint, Clip with paint, Use glue, Use glue and paint, Use resin parts, Use Photo Etch parts, make it yourself from scratch, Build the Thing 1:1, Plasmo

[@SSmith-fm9kg]

The Force is strong with this builder...

(before lights are added) "Your lack of fiber optics is ... disturbing."

[@lilHamster9t7]

Star destroyer: Hi- This dude: *immediately cuts the entire fucking hangar bay out*

[@fulcrum8583]

And puts a new one in facing the wrong way. :D I love plasmo's models, but with this Star Destroyer kit, you could do so much more, especially regarding the proportions of the superstructure (it's too flat) and the addition of studiomodel-accurate details.

[@crook7493]

Fulcrum k

[@fulcrum8583]

@Bob Dole I have.

[@Jin-Ro]

@@fulcrum8583 Would genuinely love to see it mate. I think you're right, the Revell model has so much potential.

[@DavidRLentz-b7i]

He supplants it with an aftermarket 3D printed replacement.

[@wanzhaf932]

few specialties are involved here.... 1.scale modelling 2.electrical/electronic 3.programming 4.video editing 5.youtuber

[@khymaaren]

Is being a KZbinr really a speciality?

[@ezgreviews6775]

bigdud No because not all KZbinrs are entertaining

[@ezgreviews6775]

bigdud what that’s not what I said lmao

[@ezgreviews6775]

bigdud not all KZbinrs make videos for entertainment yes some make videos for other reasons

[@ezgreviews6775]

bigdud yes I see where your coming from

[@Seemsayin]

I realize I'm a little late to the party, but... this has to be one of THE coolest things I've ever seen. This man has off-the-chain skills. Nice job, Plasmo.

[@AudieHolland]

Next, I put in tiny, working fusion generator but be careful, install good working cooling system or model may have melt down. Following, some industrial grade lasers (cannibalized from old CD-players) to give the turbolaser batteries a bit more 'oomph.' Do not forget safety goggles when demonstrating the lasers.

[@cool_beans2299]

don’t forget to add the ion engines

[@obviousdude]

I had an anxiety attack watching through the entire build. The painstaking effort to route all those fiber optics... The technical skill, electronic knowledge, modeling and painting knowledge is next level. Great work David

[@eligebrown8998]

Same

[@raphaelrae8186]

To get such a complex model kit, and make it so much better that it was intended, is nothing short of astonishing! You are a legendary expert.

[@AlejandroNitsch]

A few months ago I came back to the scale modelling world. I bought a couple of kits, searched KZbin for some tutorials and here I am watching PLASMO in awe while my kits patiently wait in their box. Awesome work, Mr. Damek! thank you

[@daspacechoechechoz9028]

This build deserves a trophy, medal, nice wooden plaque, blue ribbon, major award, or something. At least a solid attaboy!

[@MrColin159]

When Plasmo says "easy peasy,"the rest of us just sit here, wide-eyed with wonder.

[@SEPK09]

Pure Talent 110%, I am quite please there are people like yourself out there still keeping modelling alive, congrats on an amazing build, so much patience,incredible.

[@MichielvanNieuwkoop]

"It will be difficult to make it at least a little bit interesting, because it is... grey triangle" - I was on the floor

[@johndaugherty1830]

Sir, you have the patience of a saint. I am learning a lot from watching your videos. Thank you for sharing these.

[@TheTrblesm]

So you want a challenging model build? Plasmo: Yes How about 3d printed parts that involve cutting up a huge star destroyer. Plasmo: that's good...but not good enough. Hmm.... What about a few led lights? Plasmo: Harder A mile of fiber optic cable? Plasmo: Go on.... Umm.. Soldering? Plasmo: okay but it all sounds pretty easy still. Video record and edit the whole assembly, then record a voice over in a language that isn't your native language? Plasmo: Getting closer. *Sighs* How about an Arduino with some coding? Plasmo: Say no more.

[@MrMirosz]

This is insane. This could be easily used in the movie making as a prop if they didn`t use CGI...it`s so realistic looking.

[@rurushu8094]

MrMirosz this is from the original trilogy, and they did use models during filming

[@douglascampbell9809]

Do a search for original studio scale star destroyer pics or ILM model shop. There are tones of pictures from making episode 4,5,6. The largest beast (they made several scales) was around 5ft or 1.5 meters long.

[@unbarredhalo7327]

They did... at least in the originals

[@dimitrhsrap65]

That's actually the same way they built the original models in the original films difference is there was a whole team building it. David did it by himself ofc in a smaller scale but none the less a large time consuming proccess to build this and put in all the optics etc. Hats off and standing ovation for David!

[@gsrc95]

They did, the Episode I had more models than the original trilogy, even in Episode VII.

[@howtocameronsyoungerbrothe5837]

It’s always good when Plasmo uploads.

[@vtm89]

Mate, you've outdone yourself with this one. Especially like the engine lights. Keep it up!

[@madmax8620]

Wow...such cool dramatic soldering music!!!

[@Irishrebel092]

with the quality of the work, and the lights, this legit could be used as a ship model for filming in the actual movie

[@tomarnold7284]

It's so beautiful! I love how lights turned on sections at a time, and how the engine glow slowly from weak to full throttle.

[@ArtasKronid]

This cruiser can be sold to Disney. For the next films

[@Lordsevan]

DISNEY IS A PIECE OF SHIT

[@Lordsevan]

its cgi anyways

[@Finngolian]

then it gets exploded with millions of lens flares

[@ferchorps2224]

no porque disney lo hará desperdicio

[@krankysfirebrand485]

fercho kn What?

[@SharkMinnow]

This is maybe the greatest model I've ever seen built.

[@Zezeze.]

When it came to the shading part and you said 'this model is good for learning, you will never have a problem with other model ever again' I was laughing so hard. I will sometimes get myself into projects that require techniques I've never trained before, but it rarely is a small surface but instead a huge one like here, so it really ends up being amazing training. It's like 'oh no what have I gotten myself into I never did this before' and by the end you do it like no problem. Great model and amazing work, thanks for sharing!!

[@davidnelson7786]

The Force is strong with you, Plasmo. Exceptional job. Thank you for sharing.

[@nickdg507]

Alrighty then, amazing work! I'm just going to smash every "model" i made and cry in the corner of the bathroom, you beautiful, brilliant bastard

[@mlyspniak9801]

I don't even have any words to say how cool and beautiful it is

[@RD-RD-66]

The Force is strong with you. Awesome job! 👍

[@breakshot7451]

after watching this i thought man we don t have to worry about you you are a smart and talented guy you will solve all the problems life is throwing at you wish you all the best greetings from germany

[@DarylSmith-zp9st]

Hi Dave. A jolly great video. We'll done.

[@alfredconqueror4422]

10:45 got me into tears, that dark imperial voice was awesome! Wish I was talented as you are, that simple revell kit now is worth thousands

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Ummmm............yeah, don't give up your day job, David - lol

[@scottmarikirito1719]

Actually it's worth about $403, the dude is selling this model on eBay I'm pretty sure

[@porbos]

I got a tik tok ad instead

[@TAPRACKBANG]

Film-level masterpiece. Bravò

[@JaxTheReaper21]

Not even close. Imperial Star Destroyers are not gray. They are white. The color is actually called Star Destroyer White. This guy painted it the wrong color. From Wookieepedia: _Star Destroyer White was the name given to the pigmentation of paint that was applied to the hulls of Star Destroyers in Imperial service. It was the only color of paint that was produced in enough quantities to be reasonably-priced for applying to Imperial II-class Star Destroyers. Booster Terrik, who had wanted to paint his Errant Venture red, declared that this was evidence that Emperor Palpatine had been out to annoy him personally all along._

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Wow... That is one of the best-done and most interesting modeling projects ever. Truly excellent work!

[@hondot8740]

Wow. I'm a former Green Beret who has just gotten back into building models. It helps with my PTSD and wanting to break Adam Schiff's neck. Lol. I'm am in awe. Of this video! You sir are I master! I pray one day i may be able to perform a mission like this

[@dztechtools7762]

Amazing Skills. I don't know how 223 people can dislike this amazing piece of craftmanship. Great work. Carry on. Cant wait for more.

[@p_3219]

I wish I could devote the time and love to something this special, really amazing to me. Well done, and thank U for posting this. Love it!

[@heavyassaultcollectables1731]

[@sobralfabio1]

Congractulations! I’m a Star Wars fan and you are the best artist that I never ever seen!

[@PigeonWarlord]

Your voice is soo soothing and your skills are next level

[@carlosallende2595]

I am in awe of the incredible attention to detail you always put into every model that you do. I could not believe the details in the Bismarck with all the brass parts you painstakingly put together. But I noticed on this Imperial Star Destroyer you actually put the hangar bay (where the Tantive IV was captured) back to front. At first I thought that I must have been mistaken, and checked several times, but I guess with all of the detailed elements that you employed for this model it would have been difficult to keep track of all the fibre optics as well as the orientation of the hangar bay, not to mention frustrating once you already had all the fibre optics in place, to discover the orientation being back to front. Aside from an insignificant, barely noticeable flaw on this vessel, your workmanship always borders on High Art in my opinion. I have watched your videos many times over, I enjoy no one else's work nearly so much as I do yours. Thank You so much, for showcasing your incredible skill sets, I myself could never even approach emulating them. Sincerely, Carlos.

[@kevinm3751]

Dremel makes a cutting wheel designed for plastic, if you use it at a slow speed and minimize how much you try and cut through at once it is easy to make those cuts without melting much of the plastic, or any at all. Just do a search for Cut-Off Wheel for Plastic and you should be able to find it. Key is to use a real slow setting and not be in a hurry.

[@GTA.Sven.Andreas]

Das ist einer der beeindrucksten Bauvorgänge, die ich jemals gesehen habe. Alter Schwede, dieser Aufwand.....RESPEKT!

[@robertt.7673]

It gave me the chill at the end with the destroyer in the dark with its lights on and music started playing. Simply awesome!

[@seth800]

Oh yes more Star Wars. My favorite! Nice model man keep it up.

[@ezequielblanco8659]

Looks awesome! Congrats! In particular, I think the paint job is a masterpiece.

[@collegerichards312]

OMG that is the best.... looks like 40 or 50 hours of work at least but wow did it turn out amazing.. nice work...

[@simonblackwood4672]

I don't make models. I haven't the time nor the money. But seeing thins makes me want to get started. That's one beautiful creation. Very well done.

[@fridaycaliforniaa236]

Oh damn, that is a perfect idea !!!!!

[@lebarosky]

You know you are doing good work, when a professional, Mr. Nicastro, is compelled by interest to make a few suggestions. Remember, professionals have a budget and resources unheard-of for a guy like Plasmo. Plasmo, you are a genius!

[@M-WC]

WOW, just WOW! A whole mess of wires indeed. When you said “easy pease” I rolled my eyes, laughed and literally said aloud “ya, sure, no problem”! I’ve never even thought of attempting something along this magnitude. The hours involved, just staggering. Keep building man, such a great channel. Take care. Jeff🇨🇦

[@comingupooo]

Me: I got work in the morning, I need to go to bed. Plasmo: *uploads* Me: ...well maybe one more.

[@lideresunidosmexico_]

I have just discovered your work today, what a great experience to watch your videos all of them incredible... you are a master... you should work for the movies...awesome!

You're a genius, congratulations for this amazing work, this is real passion

[@VC301000]

Thanks a lot ! When I was young, I like model making a lot. However, the busy life make me forgot about this hobby. Now, when I see your movie, just remind me how much joy and fun during model making. Real thanks ! Tears dropping on my clothes.

[@rogerbond408]

Mind blown! To say, “Nice work!” just doesn’t convey my astonishment and appreciation for your work.

[@AnimaDweller]

This is one of the most beautifully build kits I've seen. I always dreamt of having my own Atar destroyer and I actually bought this exact same kit. I hope it looks half as good as yours!

[@barmetler]

This is soooo cool... Also bless the guy who invented LEDs, literally one of the cooler inventions.
