I know that Bandai is still all the rage, but wow this kit was just a delight. I'd like to give a huge thanks to my brother for painting up the Biggs and R2-Q2. #starwars #Xwing#finemolds

Your additive masking technique makes so much more sense than how I've been doing trying to mask. Block out color, then mask what you want to keep. I'm definitely going to try this approach on my next model. Also explains the extra scribing in the beginning - I bet those paint layers fill in the details quickly. Awesome video and incredible work!

This past year I've learned better painting techniques so I think I can do this method again but in smaller sections. I'm glad that you like this method, I'm hoping to build a few more X-wings this next year as I was able to buy 2 more this summer and I'm anxious to add them to my collection :)

Beautiful build! Your brother even got Biggs' mustache! Fine Molds makes some excellent kits, on par with Tamiya, on my opinion. I'm currently working on their 1/48 Kawasaki Ki-10, which is a joy to work on. I'd even recommend it to builders who normally shy away from biplanes, because it just falls together. But watching this has inspired me to get to work painting my 1/72 X-Wing soon. I have the sub-assemblies done just as you did, but it's been on the back burner for a while.

Thank you very much :D I have admit the best part of the build for me was seeing Biggs and the astromech in the completed model. This one was benched a few times I'm sad to say. As things just got in the way, but I got tired of seeing that box of parts and I just decided that enough was enough and I got to work and pulled through this build. I'm really glad that I did as I really love this kit, I've even got another one in the stash :) The Ki-10 has been on my list for a while now, as 2 friends of mine have bought it and all they could do is sing it's praises. There are a few other Fine Molds kits I want to get first, but that Ki-10 is on my list!

Thank GOD someone still knows what real music should sound like - not someone choking Alvin and the chipmunks, or someone beating a tea kettle to death!!! Any way this is how I like to work - right the first time around with all the correct detailing. I built one of those Ban Dai bastards in 1/72nd but I haven't painted it yet. I am working in tandem with a 1959 Caddilac Edorado Biarritz Convertible at the moment. I'm trying to get it painted and all the details finished. Then on to the Tie Fighters that I bought last week on evilbay. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with the rest of us. Hopefully you can inspire someone else to do what I and so many others have done and still do since I can't after the photosuckit debacle. Thank you again!

Fantastic work J. I love it. I've just bought a few Bandai kits after I built my first ever a month or so back. It was the Stormtrooper from the original series. It was such a nice kit. So I bought a few more. Ha ha. You've done another masterpiece here my friend. Stay safe buddy and I hope these recent fires over your side of the pond are not affecting you again. Stay safe buddy

I agree, I've built a few of the Bandai kits, but this is the first Fine Molds I've ever built. As a result I've got a small collection of them now. I actually wasn't aware of any fires until you mentioned it. They were kind of close, but the snow has long put them out.
