Could you give plastic items a layer of epoxy the uv quick drying stuff to give it a bit more integrity when it heats up. Might not bend or as much. 👍🏼
Is it possible you can make small resin rods to hold the wings together? Like put a rod on each corner of them kind of tie together...great job, thanks for sharing!!
Wow Ben. Another Masterpiece. I've seen way out crazy wood turning, and I have done some too. You are up there. Its BEN Great Watching you Resinate your idea on this project. The camera inside the vacuum pot ... priceless. Whenever I think I've seen your best, you pop out something different. Love, Love, Love your work.
Hey Ben!! I have a few suggestions on how you can prevent your Star Wars diecasts from melting and deforming and how you can prevent your resin from cracking and giving off exothermic reactions!! When mixing resin and hardener together, they generate heat!! Try pouring thinner layers of your resin into your molds at a time like a few hours for each layer until you get the right amount of resin you need for your projects because by pouring in thinner layers the heat disperses and the resin cures properly!! Also, try cooling down the temperatures of both your workshop and your resin because by cooling down the temperatures of both your resin and your workshop, it will help in slowing the curing process as well as controlling your epoxy resin’s exothermic reaction!! Have your resin cure in cooler temperatures until it gets to be a soft solid and then expose it to room temperature or higher to complete the curing process!! Hopefully, these suggestions will help prevent your all of your diecasts (including your Star Wars ones) from melting and deforming in your resin and also help prevent your resin from cracking and giving off exothermic reactions in your pressure pot, too!! I hope these suggestions help you in your future resin diecast projects!! :)
Absolutely beautiful work!! Love the color changing resin you use, and that glitter that shows up when dark. It’s too bad how those plastic toys reacts to the heat.
Stunning as ever Ben, noticed in the vide the convection current caused by the resin going off and that it hardens from the top down, if you ever did want to try a resin model again may be find a way of suspending the burl inverted on the container. In theory the resin contacting the burl will harden first and then travel down, could be worth a shot ?
Another gorgeous piece. Had a thought on keeping the ships from warping/melting while the resin cures. Maybe paint on thin layers of resin gradually building it up around the model and sealing it up?
Holy Shit!! You just gave me an idea on how to make the lightsaber Ive been trying to for weeks!! I need precasted, hollow fitting for the LED (because they break easily) and I haven’t been able to figure it out!! YES!! THANK YOU SIR!!
The "curved" wings of the fighter do not deter from the overall finished project. Nicely done and keep them coming. The fact that the attachment rod disappears is far more interesting & cool. Thanks
What if you coated the plastic parts with UV resin and cured it for a few coats before submerging it? I might insulate the plastic from the heat and keep it from warping. I love your videos. Thank you for what you do.
Tip with the straw: You can seal the straw by holding a pair of pliers near the end of the straw and melting it with a lighter. Once it's melted just pinch the end to completely seal it off. This way you don't have to use so much tape to close off the end.
From a ‘scientific’ viewpoint, there is such thing as a solar wind, and if the fighter is doing a high warp speed it could create the illusion of the wings bending. That’s would be my story about it, creative license and all.
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL TIE FIGHTER CASTING FROM THE SNOW SPEEDER BUILD THAT WAS FILMED IN MAY! I NO LONGER USE PLASTIC MODELS

Ben's Worx So does that mean you are going to find metal models? Or something else?

I like the dipping in resin first idea, just give it a hard layer to stop the warping
@@misterhangman3586 "Tied-fighter", lol.
My son (31) would love this!! Another great video 😊

Thanks Caren :)
My favourite piece ever!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks Mate
Thats a lot of material.
I didnt notice the bent panels until pointed out. Though it was the curve of the ball.
Beautiful work sir.
This is my first time seeing somebody put a camera in their pressure pot and with the glitter it makes for such great content
I agree. I was affraid that he wont show it when just before start he changed the camera. But fortunately whole process was shown :))
It wasn’t glitter they were air bubbles.
@@konstantinethegr8 Nope, at 3:52 he adds the glitter to the catalyzed resin mix.
@@waylongroves200 oh thanks must have missed that part. But the whole reason for the pressure cooker is to remove air bubbles
Just what I was thinking
Absolutely ridiculous talent and creativity. Nicely done
Thanks Mate
This is now my #1 favourite turning video. Awesome!

Wow!!!!!!!!! Ben you've done it again!!!
I'm amazed every time watching you create these absolute works of art.
Thanks Mate
That was 15 minutes well spent, loved it.
I love the time lapse in the pressure pot it’s interesting to see how it hardens.
Yay the return of the pressure pot cam! Also, that base is clever! Great project!
Здорово!!! Наверное можно часами залипать глядя на такую красоту
Oh wow - when you took it out into the sun it looked totally amazing.💜
Thanks Kim
Ben's Worx Yw💜
It' looks great!
Thanks Carol
You knocked this one out of the park. That is pretty amazing!
Thankyou 😊
Idk why but i find these videos soo relaxing lol. Always enjoy your work good sir, thank you for the entertainment
Absolutely Gorgeous, Ben! Great work!
Thanks Mate
Just wow. Just found your channel. Im obsessed
Thankyou
Well done that looks really great . have a great day and stay safe 😀
Fantastic as always- really enjoyed the other videos but missed the turning videos for sure!! Keep it up ole boy
Thanks Mate
It's still awesome Ben and my wife says thank you for making her starry night dragon egg she loves it
No worries mate anytime 👍
Total genius 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️
It's like a snow globe that's frozen. 😁 Got a couple of visually interesting artefacts in this one, and I really like the base. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mate
Amazing !!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mate
Enjoyed it pour in the turn thanks for sharing you have a blessed day
How could someone not like this. Guess they are jealous they can't do it. Great job.
I love your sphere jig. It’s so fancy.
Wow, that came out looking really good. Like really really good.
Absolutely beautiful work!! Love the color changing resin you use, and that glitter that shows up when dark. It’s too bad how those plastic toys reacts to the heat.
That was so Awesome!
The Jetsons!!
You really need to get that in resin.
This might be the best use of resin in my opinion.
That's impressive! Really nice piece of work!!!
Fantastic work as usual, it whoud have looked fantastic with a light in it as a night light
Amazing is that so perfectly round 👌👍
Brush on a coat of artist resin on those plastic ships and that will help protect it from warping during curing my friend! Great job!
Wow Ben, you always amaze me with everything you make. It turned out beautiful 💙
Thanks Kristine
Awesome as always thanks for sharing
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! ❤️
Another Piece of art Ben love it, I find your videos very restful to watch much like Frank Howarth, something to just enjoy.
Thanks Robin
Another great video and project. You have to have a nice Star Wars collection going on. Hope all is well! 👍
Thanks Mark, you too mate
How about an AT-AT on a white field.
Make a hollow snow globe so you can shake it up!
I wish I had some burl wood like yours, it’s all amazing. Thank you Ben for sharing your wonderful skills. I love all of your videos.
Thanks Mate
The sphere and the ship look incredible, even if the wings melted, they are perfect inside the sphere
Thanks Mate
Brilliant mate, is like a big star wars crimbo ball ball and glass with glitter very cool
It is amazing!!!! Love it.......👍🏼.....
Ben you did it again.......I’ve noticed that every new video gets better better......🥃🍻
That was fascinating to watch. Such a beautiful piece you created. Mesmerising.

Incredible!
Wow. You freehanded the sphere shape pretty well! Special jig didn't have to remove much. Love watching those things in action though.
Thanks Mate, yeah I’m getting better at the free hand spheres 👍
Wow very incredible you should be proud of yourself there was so cool
I really don't know how some people can thumbs down this, amazing work.
Thanks Mate
I didn't down it... but didn't up it either. The hole and red resin was a mistake.
LOVE it, but I love anything Star Wars.💜💜💜💜💜
I love the composition of this video man. I love your other style too, but the no VO and chill cuts over chill music are fantastic. Glad I subbed.
Amazing work!! Love your video
This is beautiful!
Thankyou
When you brought it into the sun making it pop, was amazing!!! Looked just like nebula behind the tie fighter
Best ever ben love loved it wow wow wow
Thanks Mate
I love seeing my sticker on you pressure pot!!! This was so cool!
Thanks Mate
Ben's Worx thank you Ben!!
Another gorgeous piece. Had a thought on keeping the ships from warping/melting while the resin cures. Maybe paint on thin layers of resin gradually building it up around the model and sealing it up?
This is the best one by far the others are all good but this one puts them in the shade well stay safe🐨🐨🐨🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks Mate
Still love Potcam
Watching it move, twist and turn while curing
I've not seen anybody else do that.
Thanks Mate
Great workmanship well done.
Holy Shit!! You just gave me an idea on how to make the lightsaber Ive been trying to for weeks!! I need precasted, hollow fitting for the LED (because they break easily) and I haven’t been able to figure it out!! YES!! THANK YOU SIR!!
I'm not gonna lie, I'm new to your channel but you have a subscriber for life. I can't stop binge watching your videos, they're just too damn good.
Thanks James and welcome to my channel
Same here second video that got recommend I can proudly say im a subscriber now

Love it love it. I love your work. Not a fan of Star Wars but the sphere is brilliant.
Incredible!!
