Dude. The tone of your voice, the subtle music, and your steady, deliberate pacing all combine into this... hypnotic trifecta, which happen to be the exact ingredients needed to form the Perfect Storm of KZbin model builds.

Lol

[@Plasticstarwars]

Thanks for the encouragement! I’m glad you found it therapeutic somehow..😂🙏

[@jemakrol]

+1 on that one. I was immediately hooked. I consider myself a pretty seasoned SW fan and model nerd in general but this was just... extra satisfying and interesting. Good work!

[@andrewtenn923]

Absolutely fantastic video! So clear and amazing how you build up a truly epic model🙌🙌 Loads of ideas to take away and try out!

[@moehoward01]

Nicely produced video.

[@Plasticstarwars]

Thanks my friend!🙏😊

[@viceroy7792]

I've built this model so many times - but I'm getting such a peaceful feeling watching this man do it. So many good memories here!

[@Plasticstarwars]

Thanks for watching my friend.🙏😊

[@pqsnet]

Great! You even ditched the decals and did it your self! 🧐 I love the Fiberoptics. Really makes me wanna go and repair my old half destroyed (from playing too much as a kid) plastic models from 1990's, polish them up, repaint and put in leds! It looks just about the same except the x-folding feature is manual.🤓 Also, like the music, reminds a lot of MYST, an old old game from the early 90s.

[@dgomezan71]

Great job! It's amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@PrimalShutter]

Nice, I'm 3D printing one to gift my brother and got into this wormhole of x-wing painting accuracy, that bandai kit looks great

[@Plasticstarwars]

Yes, Bandai Star Wars kits are really good and accurate to the filming models. Thanks for watching.🙏😊

私が今までに見た動画の中で1番エピソード4の模型に似ています

[@toniii1999]

More please!

[@quigonkenny]

They make pink or magenta LEDs? Those would work better in the engines than the red. Great job on the detailing.

[@peelscalemodelers4709]

Love the model. May I ask the specs for the LED that you replaced for the cockpit? Would like to do the same with mine, but don't know what type of LED (voltage? size) should I get? Thanks

[@Plasticstarwars]

Hey there, thanks for watching.😊 I lit the cockpit fiber optics with standard 3mm bulbs. I choose to go with 3v white/warm white leds because I’m not good with electronics.. This way, I can power my builds with 2 standard aa or aaa batteries without the need to solder on resistors.

[@chrismayer8601]

Can you tell me brand and color that you used for yellow body accents. Your looks great!

[@Plasticstarwars]

It’s Tamiya Yelow ts 16. But I misted a coat of Insignia white over it.

[@OIFEagle]

Are you going to re-paint the R2 unit to match the droid for Red 3?

[@Plasticstarwars]

I was referencing the filming miniature Red 3. It has a regular r2 in it.😊

[@Habu12]

So good! I just wish they’d have included magenta LEDs for the engines instead of red.

[@Plasticstarwars]

Thanks! Yes, it would be more accurate to the colour graded look of the films if they were magenta.👍

[@ILSRWY4]

It actually WAS red, however color variations in the 1977 film processing techniques made it look magenta. So to be accurate to the ship, it should be red, to be accurate to the film it would be magenta.

[@Habu12]

@@ILSRWY4 and to the SE, since they also animated it magenta.

[@LedZeppelinHK]

hi, i came acrosss your miniature of Kaneda's favorite Neo-Tokyo bar, scratch-built . do you still make them and sell? im interested

[@Plasticstarwars]

Sorry, it’s just a hobby. Thanks for asking.

[@TrayChester01]

Biggs Darklighter's Astromech is a grey and black droid named R2-Q2. Not R2-D2.

[@Plasticstarwars]

I was referencing the screen used prop. R2 is on that.👌😊

[@frederikofonseka]

Where I can buy this model in scale 1/48?

[@Plasticstarwars]

Try searching online for Bandai or Revell 1/48 X-wing.

[@rastanz]

I like what you did with lighting the cockpit and R2 but personally I prefer the original stand as it looks stylish and conforms with the X-wing, the box just looks plain to me perhaps you could've made it into a Deathstar tile, and also not keen on the connector as it looks bulky.

[@robertjensen1438]

Just a comment for the algorithm

[@albanmahoudeau1779]

PLACEBO.2 ARAIGNÉE.

[@rcbdo]

i don't really get with the chipping and the battered style. it makes a spaceship looks like flying junk.

[@Plasticstarwars]

George Lucas intended it. He wanted to create a ‘used’ universe:)

[@jefftregre2798]

Really good video. This guy's tone really sucks. At least it is in English. You might just wish to watch the good video and Mute the Audio.

[@Plasticstarwars]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@daviddiazsantander7498]

MUY BUEN TRABAJO AMIGO ...............CONGRATULATION .....

[@Plasticstarwars]

Thank you amigo!🙏😊
