      I finally found and bought the vintage Kenner Sandcrawler in my country (NL) last saturday. It was the holy grail to my vintage collection. Been wanting it since I was an 80s kid. :)

    I could have stared at that sand crawler for hours and not seen everything going on, it was one of the highlights of going to Wonderfest.

    I absolutely LOVED this video! Last month, I started building my first model since age 14; I went “big” and chose the Polar Lights 1/350 USS Enterprise w/lights. Though I’m 65, I think I can do this. I had to retire in ‘08 with PTSD after responding as a paramedic to the Pentagon on 9/11; my MD thought trying modeling again would be helpful- and it is! 😊 Chris is so impressive and has motivated me even more. Mr. Savage, thank you very much for these type of videos and all the hard work you do producing them. Norm- you do a great job yourself, Sir! God Bless-

      100% a proper paint and wash will make this already mindblowing model just be insane.

    Hope we get to see it finished. In 1978 I built a 1/64 scale Jawa Sand Crawler. I only had the SW movie program and a few Starlog magazine photos. It is far from 100% accurate but for the info I had pretty close. It is still today one of my all time favorite builds!! Thx

    Chris has done some amazing work here , the level of detail is amazing . The Randy Cooper crawler is real nice if you want to put in the work but the work Chris has done is on another level . Also check out his podcast where he talks about builds like this .

    Nerf Herder's Worksop member here. We have lots going on with our builds over there! You can lurk and see what we do for studio & commercial kit models there, and maybe you can start taking those steps into building your own studio scale model yourself. The TIE Bomber and Imperial Probe Droid Pod are great first scratch build studio models to start with!

    Really, really incredible build. Also love the concept of the de-merit badges, I'm sure I've earned all of them by now.
    Also, gotta say that the sandcrawler would make an incredible Burning Man art vehicle.

  • @somarriba333
    @somarriba333 6 місяців тому +1

    Damn that's nice! I always wanted a Sandcrawler playset. That way I can store all of my Star Wars loose pieces and kibble in it as junk for the Jawas to sell.

    @7:14 the Jawa on the left is looking into what seems to be the entrance to the Kenner Ewok's Treehouse playset. On the middle rear wall, it appears to be the Drive Sprockets, and Wheel Bogies from a Tank kit. The red lighted section also looks like a Lower Hull and the Exhaust Deck from a Tank. I love the ingenuity in making "other stuff" look like it belongs there! Fantastic build. The Force is truly strong with this one. 😃

  • @pendaco

    We don't see them getting C-3PO into the Sandcrawler, but we absolutely do see the Jawas getting R2-D2 into it. He's sucked up a big vacuum tube along the exterior side and then dumped into the main hold.

    Wow, the detail of the Sandcrawler is truly awe inspiring. 😀 I'd love to do that with a Imperial Star Destroyer, but I don't think I have a large enough building to even try to build it in...
    For the full set of all the badges, some naming suggestions: "Destruction Functions", " The 'I swear it', Demerit Bundle", or perhaps the "The Learning Curve Collection"?

    I saw A New Hope in '77 in Mystic Seaport, CT, and there is definitely a scene where R2-D2, The Savior of the Star Wars Universe, gets sucked into the sand crawler by a huge pneumatic tube,... (which I'm sure was not huge at all)

    I’ve always wondered if a sand crawler inspired gold wash plant would be efficient for Parker on Gold Rush. He seems to have found that using a conveyor to lift the pay material to the plant directly from the cut is more efficient than trucking the material all the way up to the plant so the wash plant ends up getting moved often for each new cut and looks very difficult to move.
