Creality Ender 3 V3 KE first day printing Viper Mark III
Переглядів 47021 день тому
Full day of printing on the Creality Ender 3 V3 KE. All is excellent!! This is my 1st printer. After a month of learning and research I can say this one is a really good one for $178 that I Paid for it. It is a refurbished one from Creality on EBAY and ebay had a 20% off coupon. Ran it all day yesterday and overnight. Works amazingly well!

      I followed what they recommend off of the website. I printed it high quality 1mm layers. Filler primer, then flat black, then metallic silver all from Rust o leum. I then covered the entire model with quick shine floor polish. Then I used AK Grey and blue panel liner and rubbed it off 2.5 hours later.

    I like your choice of blue that you mixed, it is far better than most I’ve seen. Most of them paint it waaay too dark and it looks stupid, yours is very close to the tv show. I think the tv show color is very close to Richard Petty’s racing car from the 1970’s with the STP on it. I think it is “Petty Blue”, he was very popular back then.

    That’s the wrong thinner to use with that paint. Use the Vallejo thinner, or even just water. The thinner you used isn’t compatible with water based acrylics. Tamiya acrylics are alcohol based.

      At first I wanted to build this one to practice for the Bandai kit I have. Now I want to do the best job I can on this all the way from lighting to painting. The key is planning the stages and taking your time! This is the first model I am doing to this detail. Next video will show me applying the main color. Thanks for watching.

    • @maker.76
      @maker.76 2 місяці тому

      You got it brother! Planning is key. Technically this will be my second kit, just have to weather a Bandai 1/72 x-wing. After watching your video I opened up the box and realized that this is much different than the x-wing with all the glueing and stuff. I started cleaning up the bottom half of the falcon and thinking if I can MacGyver some magnets on the landing gear doors so I can display it in flight or with the landing gear down and maybe using some thin styrene to make panels under the canopy and in areas where there are missing panels instead of scribing them in, maybe even cutting the canopy in half like the Bandai one. Before I knew it I was filing out the little notches on the outer panel edge of the falcon for some extra detail. Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated. Look forward to seeing your next video!🙌

    • @sci-fimodeler1701
      @sci-fimodeler1701 2 місяці тому

      Yes, some of the parts are new. The side panels up front are shorter to make them more accurate. The solo and chewy figures are much nicer. The kit is still not up to the level of Finemolds or Bandai but its only $70 not $300 and higher. A good paint job and custom lighting and I hope to make it look really good.

    Very cool! I did manage to get a couple. One is a rescue - it was built but fortunately not painted and not a glue bomb. I plan on just re-assembling it, taking care of light leaks and adding some basic lighting like yours. The other I do plan on 'correcting' it as much as I can and adding LED's & fiber optics. Like you I do have the Moebius kit in the stash and will eventually built it up.

    So it seems this is the old 1/58 scale models top bottom cockpit and landing gears. It has new sides figures and radar dish......So the 1/72 after market kits that are advertised today will fit my older 1/58 version...... Is this thinking correct? I am updating my older extremely well painted cut away model I built in the late 90's. Making it more studio correct. I lived a nomatic life and a parent just sent my old models back to me now that I am a home owner. They aren't in the best condition after being moved around in a hot attic for 20+ years. I am fixing them. But I always noticed a difference in the model and the studio version back in the day. I spent so much time pausing the OT VHS's to get the details right. Bought the Technical journals. They never showed the bottom...... Uggh. The landing gear change drove me nuts then. Looking on line seams I wasn't alone. Anyways I like some of the after market kits available. Like the engine intakes and engine grill. The gunner wells and cockpit. I plan on taking on the outside details myself. But adding a light kit makes me want to look further into these aftermarket kits. They are pricey. So don't want to make the mistake of assuming I am correct in thinking these 1/72 will fit a 1/58 model.......

    • @sci-fimodeler1701
      @sci-fimodeler1701 4 місяці тому

      For a long time, the length of the falcon used to be 26.7m according to the official SW website, then several years ago it was revised to 34.75m. This resulted in different scale of the same 47 cm MPC falcon kit (incl. cut-away version). Now that 34.75m is the official length of real(?) falcon, 1/72 is the correct scale of both MPC falcon and aftermarket kits
