Hello everyone! OK this is a pretty long video, so I do apologize. I try to make these about 30 minutes long, but the segments just went a little longer than usual, as I'm trying to document this build extensively given the age of the model. The next video (Chapter 4), WILL be the final reveal, and will be out very soon! In the meantime, keep sending those pictures of your work, and don't forge...

    Hi Shawn. Just watched the video. The falcon is a revell kit, one of the latest tooled version of it and the Jupiter 2 is Mobius if I remember. The falcon kit I think is a retooled version of the mpc kit but not as big, although I could be wrong in that lol. Revell 06718 Star Wars Millennium Falcon (Han Solo) 1:72 Scale is the kit scale and kit number.

    Regarding the issue of your liquid mask pulling up your paint.... I suggest that you seal the paint with something like dull coat first, that may solve that problem. That should act as a barrier.

    Something to consider on what to use in the future: regarding the impulse deck at 9:55... latex caulking. It cleans up with water and and is very easy to apply. Same stuff you would find at any home improvement stores. Takes paint very well too. I would get the one for kitchen/bath if you have any concerns regarding mold. Great for small openings like this.

    Those look great 😃. Nice job with the weathering. For the chips around the lens, you could try paint. Just a drop at a time with a tiny brush or a toothpick. Let it dry and repeat until filled. Take a bamboo chopstick and sharpen it to a pointy bevel for cleanup. It won't scratch the plastic. Awesome job.

      @@thescifimodelguy They have mini-Toys R Us stores within many US Macy's locations (451 according to online article). It's kind of sad, yes, but it's better than nothing. I walked by one within the local Macy's and honestly wasn't that impressed. As of 2023, there are only TWO large locations for TRU. I don't know how they compare to the old "standard" TRU warehouse. UPDATE: According to an online article, the Mall of America flagship TRU location is slightly smaller than the typicall 11,000 sq ft store most of us were familiar with.

    Thank you for encouraging us to use our imagination and make what we think is cool. I got some negative comments for my builds of the NX-01 RE-REFIT and Pike's Enterprise refit. At the end of the day, we're building these models for ourselves. I can see if you are entering a contest or building for someone else. I've been drawing starships and redesigning them for 35 years. It's fun and I love it. Updates to come on the Enterprise D.

    Hey Shawn, this was awesome! I grew up painting models & did a few SW myself (I def. recall doing an AT-AT, a Snow Speeder, and a roughly 8" tall R2-D2.) I don't have the time for this these days, so it is a lot of fun watching you do it 🥃🥃

    Thanks, Shawn! Remember that this model was one of the original vintage Klingon D-7. The lighting "kit" (4 light bulbs) was included, and the sides of the bulb top were actually green-tinted clear to be lit. A 9V battery was stored under the "shuttlebay" on Engineering, which is why it is shown not attached. This kit has travelled across Canada and more over 40 years or so, and is in "pre-drydock" condition, waiting for a complete repaint. Thanks, again, for the showcase.

    Your dads ship is now a artificial reef off the coast of Florida. She hasn't really been under the water that long she was intentionally sunk probably 10 years ago or less.

    • @AvengerII
      @AvengerII 14 днів тому

      No, Oriskany was sunk as an artificial in May 2006. It's been underwater for nearly 20 years now. I've seen videos of the wreck taken shortly after and as late as 2010. She was definitely showing signs of further deterioration (some large holes in the flight deck and the rust is spreading all over the interior) but the ship had minimal maintenance since it was decommissioned in 1976.

  • @mikedicenso2778
    @mikedicenso2778 21 день тому

    @19:15 The torpedo tube piece rim should be flush with the hull, a good gap filler applied, and then sanded smooth as is the case with both the original studio model (At the Smithsonian) and the master tooling model (At the Museum of Pop Culture, Seattle, Wa). Unless you're trying to make your model look like the D7s from the 1973 Animated Series which used this kit as reference.

    • @thescifimodelguy
      @thescifimodelguy 11 днів тому

      Hey Mike, Yeah, I saw that from all the reference photos... But the thing was, that the kit was completely hollow - there was no piece in the back to serve as a stop for the little insert... So, if it went in too far, I could have easily lost it as the kit had already been glued together. I thought about gluing it on to one half of the piece, but it was just a bit too risky for me to decide to do it.. I also considered sanding it down, but that would have been a lot of work for something that I considered to be a minor detail.
