[@Dman0001]

i have a question - i assume you are using xwing attack wing ships which are not strong plastic - and people do warm them up to correct them when they warp - what about just giving them a quick uv coat of resin first since that dries quick and should maintain the intergrity - also maybe try the star trek attack wing ships might do a cool job

[@robintranholt7720]

Great work Ben looks phenomenal.

[@liwarder]

@Ben's worx
If you put the tie fighter in uv resin would it warp the plastic from Heat or will uv resin not get hot

[@liwarder]

Like u did with X Wing

[@pamelamathews1389]

Hi Ben do sell the light display for your egg creations. I have 2 already and will be purchasing several more I plan on giving them as Christmas presents, and the small light up stands that I've seen you make. It will show case the eggs beautifully.

[@rachkate76]

Ben don’t ever feel down about ‘fail’ projects- they still are a learning curve for you but also for us living vicariously through your projects.
A strong person still uploads their fails in all their intended educational glory!
Well done on this one it looks great!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Rach 🙂

[@yowgyrl]

I like how it can be viewed by so many angles, top, bottom, side to side. This is my favourite of your worx thus far.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@johnvictorvaldez592]

Beautiful says it all

[@CurrentElectrical]

Ben, if you only knew how much many of us look forward to your videos "fails" and all. We all get to learn with you through your videos. Thank you.

[@dhd8850]

Absolutely amazing Ben, you should never doubt yourself even your "fails" are fantastic!! 💖👏👏👏👏👏🥇

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mand

[@MixedCrayonz]

Yeah, I need to fail like he does😭😭😭

[@naptimecreations]

Very cool, I love that shimmering effect. I swear everytime I use resin I learn something. I always say it's a success no matter what the outcome was, if I learned from it 😊😊😊😊😊

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@naptimecreations]

@@BensWorx 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@LFNC]

Wow very cool man and you should put led lights on the bottom and the top to

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate 👍

[@LFNC]

Ben's Worx No problem man

[@katiejarvis3652]

I love how the x wing has the bent shooters in front! It really adds to the battle scene look as if it too had been damaged. Good job!!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Katie

[@richardslade1337]

Only word I can think of to describe this is masterpiece. I especially like all the colors you used. The exploding TIE fighter came out perfect.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Richard

[@mkdrivingzone]

Mate you absolutely nailed it. The colours used on the TIE are perfect! Brilliantly done, next we have to go bigger! Red lasers from the X-Wing, green from a TIE, full combat diorama. You know you want to! Well done.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate 👍

[@amberskyecampbell]

That looks fantastic. Even when things don't turn out how you expected I love that you upload it. Makes us who are novice resin makers feel better. Thanks for always inspiring us to try and try again. 👍

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Amber

[@fbrdonr1989]

Very cool! I love how you can't even tell the x-wing is in resin. The damage to the tie is really neat. Please keep posting win or fail. We love seeing you and your work.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@KellseyMae21]

I love that he time lapses in the pressure pot. Its so cool and I don't see anyone else do it as often. Its interesting to see what happens

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Kellsey

[@EweChewBrrr01]

That fighter in the resin before you put it in the vacuum looked awesome. I think that would look amazing doing an underwater scene. The fighter laying broken on the bottom of the sea in murky water. Having some underwater monster like a giant angler fish swimming up to it with a light on its head would look good too.

[@BensWorx]

👍

[@Machtimus]

Majestic is the best word that comes to mind...with the colors

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Andrew

[@NikkiHades]

Oh Ben, that is absolutely stunning!! Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Nikki

[@jaydiarae]

A fantastic outcome! I especially love how the two different colors of the crystals helps to identify the night sky and the ground.

[@rachelruwe219]

Wow! That turned out so good! The way you made the ty fighter on fire was genius.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Rachel

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

That really awsome. Well done Ben. Never be afraid to show your fails, its the pathway to victories. It shows how far tou come as a maker.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Daniel

[@Sulzie65]

Love it. Amazing job! Love that the x wing warped a bit again. Makes it more realistic in the crash.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Janet

[@SuperBeardWill]

So awesome Ben! That small paint job you did to make it look like it's been/is on fire, really added to it! Great you weren't too down and hit a homerun with this project

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Will

[@amari7057]

This turned out amazing. I love the effect from the metallic colors. The melting of the Ty fighter gave perfect finishing touches.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@christrophercooper5663]

Oh Ben!! I'm speechless! Absolutely beautiful my friend! Love it..

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Christopher

[@jeannehinrichs5734]

failed projects are a good learning tool all ways show that video and dont let it get you down
thats how we all learn

[@marty01957]

That came out great, Ben! Fantastic!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Martin

[@BelladonnaButterfli]

Everything you make is always pretty

[@chartier67]

I love all your creations, but this one is definitely one of my favorites.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@dekopuma]

I'm glad you went for the higher quality X-wing tabletop game minis. They look so much better than those hot wheels.

[@presidentjoebamama7665]

That’s so cool. I love seeing work that differs from the normal wood turning. Great job.

[@shastahaldane]

I love when you use the color changing "glitter" looks so cool

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@TheConwoman3]

That is really cool. More miniatures. You are truly an artist. 💖💖💖

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Connie

[@kennethyoung141]

Clear coat nail polish really helps to strengthen plastic models. Cool idea,always a pleasure to see you work. Still want to see a puppy project for your pup or inspired by.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@maxdannecker2077]

Absolutely stunning! You really outdid yourself this week! I love how you steered “into the skid”. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature! Great inspiring piece, brought back memories of the Aquaman cube with the sand!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Max

[@JerryBWagoner]

Another great video! In fact, I enjoy as many as I've seen, regardless of the end result. These are both inspirational and educational. I also find the "pressure-cam" mesmerizing.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Jerry

[@alisonmary1443]

You never fail cos whatever happens in that pressure pot is on your side! That is a mesmerising piece, love what you done with the broken bit and of course the use powders 💖💖💖 it looked fantastic on camera but in the flesh, I can't imagine. It's a stunner 👍 PS your paint work was great too!!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Alison 👍

That is really amazing! Don't feel too bad about any fails you may make. We all make them. It's a learning experience.

You’re such an amazing artist Ben NEVER doubt your talent! Even your fails are amazing and I hope you see what an inspirational person you are to all of us❤❤❤

I am a massive fan of both Star Wars and Batman and that was what drew me to your channel and you never fail to disappoint! Keep up the amazing work I really can’t wait to see what you create next and never be ashamed of the fails I would happily pay for those fails 👍🏻 you should start selling them I know I can’t be the only one that would buy Star Wars and Batman themed creations 😍

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate 👍

[@frankstriker281]

wow the fail of last video made a great idea for that
i am impressed by the final result, a great touch when seeing the melted wings makes it look like it had just been shot down by the enemy ship or as if it were hit by some asteroid in the middle of space. I loved how it was in the end

Very cool! Love the shape! The X-Wing has the new guns that shoot around corners! :)

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Wendy 👍

[@lorrieruff4402]

Looks good.
It turned out better than I would of expected. I love the Hour Glass Shape, and the suggestions to keep the X-Wing intact, and use the warping on the Tie Fighter. I will have to peek back and see who suggested all these great ideas. Because this turned out wonderful.
Maybe a sea scape next time? I don't know if you have a couple of divers, and one of those glow-in-the-dark jelly fish. I think this shape would be fun with a underwater cave effect.
Stay Safe, Stay Healthy

The Hourglass turned out even better. Nice job.
For a future video suggestion would be a racing theme. 2 Funny cars taking off as the Christmas tree turns green or one catches a red. Alternatively you could use Top Fuel dragsters or motorcycles. Have fun.
