Good looking pieces. I can hardly wait to see the final Bob Ross job applied to them.

[@bonbon4903]

I saw these on your Instagram first and you’re painting skills are amazing!

[@rebelines]

I’m never concerned about the length of your videos. I love the details. Absolutely great work.

[@geoffmanfre3306]

Max Rebo and the band look fantastic. Have been wanting to add into my thrown room diorama.

[@ilikenothingtoo]

You should try Magic sculpt for filling big gaps, it's an epoxy paste that you can smooth with water.

[@RP752000]

INCREDIBLE ! ! ! Now make a Lego version, it would sell like hotcakes !

[@DarioDarrow]

I appreciate that you leave all the disasters in for the final cut 😅

[@2epete]

Try Millliput, Apoxie sculpt, or Tamiya Epoxy putty for filling large gaps. You can smooth it finger or cocktail stick moistened with water and easily shape it and sculpt it. This will greatly reduce the amount of sanding required.

[@stren6587]

Great video and beautiful model. Gentle Giant is very close to releasing these as Jumbos, very exciting lets hope they follow through!

[@epocherbs91977]

For Max Rebo depends what style you want him as. Vintage style he’d be as tall as he is compared to the characters standing next to him. Realistic style or Black Series style he would be much shorter. He’s actually sitting on the top of the organ using his feet to play the keys. And the things we always thought were his ears are actually his arms, or “flippers”.

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

Yes, I covered this in my Max Rebo Jabba's Palace Roll Call video a few years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHyZfHernqp0hpo

[@th8ast8]

@17:18 "Miss Snooty if you're nasty". LMAO

[@TehStoneMan]

What a lot of people get wrong, mainly because of the original figure that was released, is that he was actually sitting ON the organ and playing with his feet. His "arms" were flippers on either side of his head. Yes, those are flippers, not ears.

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

I address this in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHyZfHernqp0hpo Personally, I don't think it's wrong to say that Max Rebo has a humanoid body, since that's how he has been represented literally everywhere in the years since ROTJ was released, but it's a cool piece of trivia to think that they may have originally intended him to be playing with his feet.

I would love to have a much bigger 1/6 or bigger scaled Star Wars Unleashed Slave Leia statue ... That pose is the best with the spear.. I still don't own any Jabba with throne figures yet...

[@gojirazillasaurus6341]

Imagine if all of those fails were because that the people who custom designed the eligoo sabotaged it XD lol just kidding

I need this!!

[@onemansvideos2134]

I like meshmixer it comes in handy alot

[@Obscurewatchcollector]

Love it, looks awesome, I really wonder if Joost at jazzinc will ever be able to make some kind of diorama in 1/6 for people who have most of the Jabba figures!

[@thebellslast1779]

my favorite characters are those 3 and i'm a black series collector without a 3d printer jealous.

[@brycejames7829]

awesome video, parts not fitting could be design, often times though sla printed joints need absolute minimum exposure times to get correct dimensions

[@rickykrk-]

Hello! Have been watching your videos for a while, but just subscribed today as I finally purchased a 3D printer (Elegoo Mars 2 Pro) and I hope to learn from some of your videos of what's out there (Star Wars models-wise). Hopefully I will be able to get the hang of this and print, cure and paint these files as good as you have been able to (will be using Chitubox). My plan for now is to print up to 6" scale items (already bought a Mandalorian file from Etsy). Great video!

[@googleuser3163]

The Rebo band is and always will be a trio! This was awesome! Have you ever considered making an "accurate" no-arms Max Rebo figure?

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

I like that idea! Might be a little challenging though

[@TKs3DPrints]

i find models into 3dbuilder for windows 10 will auto repair and make the stl one solid watertight model. i tend to use this all the time to check models even the models i create. you can do the same with meshmixer with the make solid command in the edit tools but you would need to set all the details to high to save the details when converting. but if your using a pc with windows 10 then 3d builder is the way to repair models. awesome print. :)

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

Very cool. But, I’m always surprised that people have 3D printers without understanding the basic principle... it’s resin that hardens with UV light. You can just brush on the same resin and use a UV flashlight to harden it. No need for glue or putty. And you can repair a lot of support marks that way too. 😀

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

I’m certainly aware that it’s possible to do that, but I think glue is a lot easier and more reliable.

[@willierants5880]

Tamiya putty can easily be removed/smoothed using Lacquer Thinner on a Q-Tip. Saves quite a bit of time and cuts down on the dusty mess and can save details that might otherwise get sanded away.

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

I’ll give that a shot!

[@willierants5880]

@@MightyJabbasCollection hey there Might Jabba, just wanted to correct my comment. Please make sure you use Lacquer Thinner. It does work and works great. ISO doesn't work at all. I have Tamiya Lacquer Thinner on hand, but any Lacquer thinner will work. Apply to Q-Tip and rub until satisfied.

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

Got it. I haven’t actually had a chance to try either yet

[@handznet]

I just love your channel, always some cool projects and Jabba stuff I would never find out :) I am still deciding which 3d printer to buy, I want to print large objects - so probably some CR-10 larger model, or?

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

How large do you need to print?

[@amymurphy6526]

@@MightyJabbasCollection have you ever thought of doing a tour of your office?

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

It probably won’t happen anytime soon. My office isn’t arranged in a way that would make it easy to see things, and of course it’s been kind of a disaster area this year in particular... but maybe I could think about doing small sections or something

[@3DModelsToys]

Nice work! Thanks for the tip i really need to increase the exposure time of my Saturn, every time i try to print larger objects i get fails. I got my Saturn last week, im new to this.

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

Yes I don’t know if it’s my environment or what (some have speculated that if the temperature is low it will require longer exposures). But I have to increase my exposure time for all of my printers to avoid failures

[@3DModelsToys]

At least i know when my fdm prints fail, the Resin prints are more unpredictable.

[@MSnell]

The models are a little pricey considering all of the headaches you went through printing them. Maybe I've been spoiled by companies like Loot Studios where everything is pre-supported and essentially just plug 'n print with no issues. Regardless, these still turned out awesome!

[@eugenerusselnash]

Superb Printing as Ever! I wish someone could give me a 3-D Printer!? I guess that I’m gonna have to save up for mine! Even so there’s a Lot that I’ll have to learn and I’m a bit worried about my Dyslexia? Adding and taking away and altering ratios within the model programme may present me with some issues? Great Stuff!

I really like to have this!!! amazing !!! but I dont know anything about 3d printing! some body can printing for me ??? thanks !!!!!!! amazing video !!!!! your work is amazing !!!! congratulations!!!!!✌✌✌✌✌✌

[@iunboxstuff635]

I love the Saturn but failures with this machine are very frustrating when you consider the price of resin.

[@stevebragg4256]

They look great! The canon thing is Max's legs are playing the keyboard. He doesn't have any more limbs unlike the figure. He's basically just sitting on there on a flat pillow rather than having a lower being down inside the round keyboard, at least that was the original designer's intent. But I understand you using this model more like the figure from the early 80s. Here's more on that www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-mysteries-getting-to-the-bottom-of-max-rebo

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

I address this in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHyZfHernqp0hpo Personally, I don't think it's wrong to say that Max Rebo has a humanoid body, since that's how he has been represented literally everywhere in the years since ROTJ was released (every action figure, every statue, etc.).

[@stevebragg4256]

@@MightyJabbasCollection I agree with you.

[@emilflognoid1532]

Started watching this video Saturday morning but had to stop for several hours to do Saturday chores, yard work, came back 5 hours later, opened up my KZbin to 18:27 and could NOT remember what I was watching! Very disturbing out of context...

[@IkerArroyoMoso]

Nice content! I really enjoyed all the process. I was wondering how do you wash and cure the inside of the prints? Thanks!

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

That’s one reason why you have to add drain holes to hollow models. It allows you to rinse out the inside with alcohol. When curing, the UV light is able to penetrate into the inside, partially through the drainage holes and partially just through the shell of the figure, which is not super thick. And even if it’s not perfectly cured inside, it shouldn’t matter as long as it’s not dripping or something

[@IkerArroyoMoso]

@@MightyJabbasCollection Thanks for the reply! I actually use drain holes in my prints (2-3 mm) and happen to have leaks and spills over time... I guess larger holes would do the job better...

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

Obviously it depends on the size of the print but yes I use much larger holes

[@SeithonJetter]

Sadly, this is something that happens frequently when you have 3D sculptors making models without any consideration for the mechanics of printing or restrictions the software might have. It's something folks will have to work on :)

[@SeithonJetter]

Also just to add, part of the issues your having is that the longer your exposure times, the more the object "grows" beyond its defined size, its never going to be perfect but a 3d designer can account for it somewhat by allowing a little more play in joints. Otherwise yeah you have to just sand it down :) Its very noticeable on peg joints as you end up with the socket being smaller and the peg being larger.

[@CaptainFettCosplay]

Would have been great to have a model or figure of Max as he is supposed to be. Those aren't his arms... those are his legs. He's similar to Sebulba.

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

I'm aware of that theory: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHyZfHernqp0hpo And yes it would be cool to have a version like that, although I suppose the alternate version that is attached to the organ is pretty close. But this model is heavily influenced by the vintage action figure (which I have a lot of affection for and has basically become canon) so I'm fine with it this way.

[@CaptainFettCosplay]

@@MightyJabbasCollection 100% same. Was one of my fav figure sets... Max's diaper and all

What 3-D print You use?

i would love to have these in 1/6. can i buy a set off of you

[@getoninja1702]

very cool but is there a place to buy them in 1/6 scale?

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

Not from me but I’m sure there are some people who might be willing to print them to sell

[@ManyLegs]

20 minutes to reduce the polygon count? You can do it in seconds to a minute using zbrush (I assume your PC is not obsolete)

[@TheSerpent753]

whatever happened with your life size, 3D printed R2-D2? Also did you ever finish and paint your life size Jabba?

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

R2 has been on hold for a long time, but I think I might actually be able to finish it this year (famous last words). I decided not to go ahead with the painting of Jabba because I turned out that I can't fill in the gaps and do a lot of sanding in the basement, and because frankly it turned out to be more work than I think it's worth. I'm trying to keep my projects more limited in scope now so this kind of thing doesn't happen, since I realize that it's annoying to have things left hanging. I really prefer to make them fit into a single video but I thought it would be too long in this case.

[@xxserpok_259xx8]

Max rebo actually plays with his legs and doesnt have legs

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

I am aware: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHyZfHernqp0hpo

Oh ok

Keep up the good vids!😁

[@hz_rd]

I get those blank spots all the time where supports just don't print using Lychee. Does anyone know why???

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

Interesting. I’ve only used the program a few times so this was the first time it’s happened to me

[@hz_rd]

@@MightyJabbasCollection it could be too short of exposure times during colder weather? I'm not sure but it's strange that it'll print the raft just fine, then skip the supports entirely

[@TheGozonuts]

$93 for the whole set seems pretty expensive for an intangible toy

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

They do go on sale from time to time, but even if you pay for the models and materials like resin and paint, it’s still a fraction of what something like this would cost from a high-end manufacturer like Sideshow or Gentle Giant. I would expect a set of 1/6 Max Rebo Band figures or statues to cost at least $500 and probably more, considering a single 1/6 scale figure routinely costs well over $200

[@KardboardKenny]

i take it that you don't build store bought model kits? because that's very inexpensive for something so large.

[@gavkiwi]

Any chance to buy these, unpainted even ?

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

I don't really sell things in general, and these take long enough to print and finish up that I just wouldn't be able to do it for other people. I imagine there are people who would be willing to do it, although it's worth mentioning that they use a fair amount of resin so they probably wouldn't be cheap.

[@gavkiwi]

@@MightyJabbasCollection understand that Great video ! Thanks

[@scotthammond6589]

that might be the vintage action figure version, but max is anatomically incorrect here. his hands are his feet.

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

I'm well aware of this theory. I introduced it in my Jabba's Palace Roll Call video about Max back in January 2017 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHyZfHernqp0hpo) and I even have a custom statue of Max in his original form (instagram.com/p/CPtAXlUgQYb/ ). However, I think it's questionable to say that Max as a bipedal humanoid is incorrect, considering that literally every toy, piece of artwork, and sculpture made since ROTJ was released shows him that way. It may very well be all have been influenced by Kenner's original interpretation of the character, but I'd say the humanoid version of him is canon until we see something to contrary. Frustratingly, we never saw enough of him in Book of Boba Fett to be sure what he looked like.

[@emilflognoid1532]

The little people inside the alien suits are human sized too! Just saying…

[@MightyJabbasCollection]

Indeed, I was referring to the “12-inch human” size that I talked about earlier but it certainly could have been phrased better

[@CapitalNick]

Isn't max's hand's technically his feet?

[@austinhinton3944]

Max’s species has always had trouble in the EU for their anatomy. Most depictions are like this, a squat humanoid shape, but apparently the intent was that the species was an armless biped, with Max actually sitting on a stool in the organ, playing with his feet.

[@CapitalNick]

@@austinhinton3944 That's what I thought.
