Ultimate Pyro X-Wing Unboxing
This is the coolest model kit of an X-wing ever made. Not only is it studio scale, it has lineage to production made pieces and cast they way the original pyros were.

People take notes. As intimidating as gar are, they’re quite docile. I have caught several, and not 1 has ever attempted to bite me. Flap my way, sure… but never open mouth trying to bite me. I Love gar! And well done man, ❤️👏👏🫵

OH Man! I would never turn away a studio prop mold cast by Frank Cerney! Especially since it's from molds made by Dave Jones!!! THE DAVE JONES! A MAN WHO HAD A JOB I COULD ONLY DREAM OF HAVING! Rest in Piece Dave, you are missed by those of us who knew you were behind the scenes! If only I was living in the region where I could have been in the right time and the right place. I feel the same way about MPC model kits. As model companies do, MPC is a lot less accurate nor fastidious about model cleanliness and detail, unlike kits like Revel/Monogram or Tamiya. The one thing about MPC models which is a bonus, is the plastic is a lot more forgiving than resin towards types of glue used. The Glue you need to use for Resin needs to be a bit more harsh than for plastic. One building tip I offer to anyone with low experience with resin models for the serious glue I have used for Resin kits the best way to ensure the good grip on the resin, is to use a mildly abrasive household cleaner called Vim. It has a very fine pumice in it that allows you to clean the parts of their release agent and very gently abrade the surface to allow the glue to have more grip, and with some resin molds I have gotten the surface was too shiny smooth for the look I was going for so I used the Vim to clean the whole model and it worked great for the overall look I was going for. In a pinch some regular non-gel toothpaste would do the trick too. Thanks for sharing the unboxing of the "grail" item Ultimate Pyro X-wing! It's beautiful! And very big!
Yeah it’s pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing the tips.
LOVE the Video!!! and Glad you like the kit!! We should have a page to share Build tips!!
You got some balls dude I would have cut the line n unwrapped it. Never getting my fingers that close lol
I'd definitely light this one, do it justice and go full bore studio on it even if it takes years. Do it for Porkins man!!! Congratulations on picking one up.
You are 110% correct. #forporkins
W saved him
i was watching at some of your book reviews. In your opinion which are the top 5 SW (Original trilogy) books when it comes to reference pictures? Im doing some modeling. Cheers
Chronicles vehicles is the best but it’s very expensive. Second I would say the regular chronicles book. Third would be sculpting a galaxy. Fourth would be Objets Du Mythe. Not sure I’d recommend a fifth for modeling.
@@dustinwalruff hmm, i suspected those would be the ones. :) and i agree totally. Thanks for the confirmation.
Wow. You are doing a good job on this video
Would you recommend any methods for turning a hales brown similar to cold blueing?
I haven’t tried to rust anything myself. I know just applying salt water will induce rusting. I’ve heard about some method about putting it in tea, but I’ve don’t know the particulars of that method.
Why you lying? We know that thing is for you! 😎
Man I wish lol. I did pick up a converted male just recently.
Thanks for the review buddy! She sure is shiny isn’t she! Lol keep up the great work!
Beautiful
Thanks
Hello, do you sell a copy?
I do not sell them. But I have seen them on Etsy.
That’s always the best way, take a break, come back fresh and it will all be alright.
Thank you.

That is such a beautiful piece! Great work!
Thank you
Nice one! What is the thickness of the leather strap used? 28:55
Unfortunately I don’t have it anymore. I think it was about half an inch wide.
Like 'The Mask' replica, a whole lot. Obviously, it's from the movie, but is it from the Jim Carrey version, or the original 1966(ish?), Peter Cushing horror film🎞️???
It’s from the Jim Carrey version.
Great video! Thank you as it is very well done. I was able to change the brake light on my 2008 Boxster. Thumbs up! 👍
Thank you. Glad I could help.
What should i expect to pay for one of these?
I would expect at least $1000. The couple I’ve seen for sale recently were listed for $1500, pretty complete but in very worn condition.
Congrats. Quite a grail prop item.
Aawww! I’m so glad you documented this! Had so much fun watching your expression! Teecrooz is the man, and has helped so many in the community obtain these hardest to find items. I’ve been watching and supporting your channel since day one, you’re a kind, passionate member of the community, you have no idea how happy I am for ya!
Awesome pickup congrats now to find that vintage Booster :)
This is such an amazing example man. Huge congrats, they’re only getting scarcer and scarcer. Ive got a male 16 hole balance pipe from Lewis on its way to me at the moment, so I’ll need to get somebody to convert that - probably the best I’ll get the way things are going! I have a question also. My hales is in lovely shape, but is covered in the light brown / red paint. Do you have any advice for stripping the paint and re - spraying ? Or re - blue-ing? I would love to know how you do it 😊 Huge congratulations again. So so happy, and very jealous of you.
Awesome, yeah I almost went for an uncut one too. Pretty much whatever you do is going to remove the blueing/patina on the part that has the paint. I've used a couple methods, I tend to prefer using a wire wheel with a Dremel, but it's kind of messy. Chemicals work well but you have to make sure to neutralize them, and again they are messy. Applying the blueing is easy, make sure it's very clean, I would heat the metal slightly, apply the blueing, rub with steel wool and repeat until it matches in darkness. Hope that helps.
@@dustinwalruff Now that you have a reference in the female pipe, I might just have to commission you to convert a male somewhere down the line 😉
@@ZaratDCV you should get Scottjua to do it, he’s got the proper tooling, my lathe is actually too small to do it.
@@dustinwalruff I will do just that then. Maybe all us converted BP owners should have some form of inscription on the inner bp to protect buyers, seeing this way might be the only way sooner or later.. Enjoy being one stop closer to the real deal mate. Looking forward to seeing you get it done! 🤞
That's awesome! Congrats! I have a converted male on my Obi. Probably the best I'll be able to do, so I'm happy with it. If Dave P has any left, his adapter works great!
Oh yes! I’m so happy to see you get a pipe. You need to put the bevel on the back. That inconel metal is so hard, it took me a bit of work and courage to do mine. Score, congratulations!
Congratulations! Your reaction to opening it made this one of the best videos to watch!
So glad I found this! I want to do the same thing but I want to make mine into a flight stick so I can play the old x wing games with it.
Check out the thread on the RPF, I put a lot of info there and there has been a lot of contributions from members there.
You want to sell me that chuck in the box with out the key
Where did you get the light assembly? Or do you have a part number for it? Thanks for the video!
I just googled cayman 987.1 third brake light and it came up. I think I bought it from Pelican parts, it’s been a few years since I bought it so I can’t remember for sure. Hope that helps.
@@dustinwalruff Yes, thanks. My light isn’t as bad as yours but it seems to have paint on the plastic shell which is peeling and bothers my OCD (joking). Not sure it’s worth the effort to replace though.
@@MadMike991 I would also recommend replacing the connector if you can. Mine was broken and I didn’t have it on hand so I made it work.
Very very cool love this helmet build :)
Hi could you give me a mask please !!!!!!!!!!!!😢😢😢
Beautiful work on the mask, I've built one myself. It's one of my favorite movies props
Yeah I find it has quite the presence
Love ya work, thanks for posting the builds, good luck for 2024
What means prop casting? Looks good
It means someone got a hold of the real prop, made a mold of it, and then made copies.
Good video 👍 can't wait to receive mine to install.
By all means, keep doing what you do! Just found your channel and subbed! I'm an old skool prop nut and I love this stuff! Keep it up!! Kenny
Thanks man!
Love this build very very cool, your the prop man👍
You deserve more subs.
Thanks!
That's a lucky find. I'm currently looking at talking someone into selling me theirs. Do you guys/gals know anyone who likes money?
Hope you find one
Great work. When you mentioned the bubbles in part one I thought, “Well, how bad can it be?” But in this video you really show how far gone the original mold was. Lots of work. Great job. Also, my BEANS shirt is holding up better than yours. I get lots of compliments. Thank you.
Awesome, glad your shirt is doing better than mine. Once I put the primer on you can really see how many bubbles are in the casting. I knew it was bad but didn't realize how bad until that point, it's was even hard to see with the naked eye.
Very cool prop another great video, thanks
This is really really cool!! I read somewhere in the RPF forum that user Peter.... (can't remember the rest of the name) bought a last pull hero cast from the original mold. If it's the same prop, I think what you're holding in your hands is technically an original mask! It looks beautiful and I look forward to seeing the painting process. I have three masks, one made by a seller from Brazil, the other is from ReelArt, and the third mask is a recast of a first gen replica that I would like to repaint because it is identical to the original prop but it has too much brown paint.
Yep, that’s the one I have. It was two years ago that I bought it.

Nice quality tool! Start messing around with it on aluminum, brass, and maybe some soft steel. Have fun. By the way I saw your helmet in the background- were you/are you a pilot?
No, I’m not a pilot. I’m in the process of converting it into an X-wing helmet. Some of my latest videos are about it.
I finally found this book under $1,000. Yeah, most cost $1,400+ now. It sucks but if you really want this book, you're going to pay big $$$
Congratulations, yeah the price tag hurts.
@@dustinwalruff But it's so worth it..
