Hey ho! Welcome to a new series in which, thanks to DeAgostini, I will spend the next two years building a massive 1/18 scale Star Wars X-Wing fighter, as part of the "Build Your Own X-Wing" partwork series. Each month I will work through whatever issues I have received. In this episode, I explain the plan and tackle issues one, two and three.

The way you say “suck” at 44:49 sounds like the noise Unicron makes when he dies in the 1986 Transformers movie

[@GrossModels]

I enjoyed issue 1&2 much more than 3. I quite like watching you build something I’ve already done. Makes a nice change to me following you. ;-)

[@simonvaughan1270]

Great video as always, nice bit of beat boxing at the end there Sir. 🥁🎶

[@gurufoxx]

Ha ha I think you are the only person who actually saw that ^_^

[@shimaichiban12]

Seven??? You will probably get to part ninety Six and then leave us hanging. Just because...😅

[@guilhermegaspar]

"Part 7" just killed me lol

[@4ngu54110tt]

So... no more jokes about 'six' please...😊 Well played old man, well played.

Episode 7 \o/

[@gurufoxx]

I knew YOU would spot that :)

[@jameslamb4573]

Are these episodes coming every 3 months?

[@gurufoxx]

I was hoping to produce an episode each month as I received the magazines, but as yet the publisher has not sent me anything past issue 3, despite me chasing them up regularly ( I am not subscribed; the publisher and PR firm approached me to create the series). At this stage I am unable to confirm whether I will continue to receive further issues as time goes on and therefore make more videos, or if this project is dead in the water, as it is not under my control.

[@lightspeedbear]

Nice video. What's putting me off getting this model subscription is the wings (ok, S-foils) look way shorter than they should be. Am I crazy? Could you tell me if they seem accurate?

[@gurufoxx]

I've only received up to issue three so far so I have no idea, but they look fine on the 1:1 blueprint.

[@lightspeedbear]

@@gurufoxx Thanks, maybe I'm mistaken then. It just looks really stumpy on the trailer compared to the films. Now need to decide whether to invest £1000!

[@spartanoverwatchgamesandho8593]

you should not have glued the connections to the front of the Laser Cannon housing as you will need to remove it for the next issue if they do the same thing as the trial did for the fiber optic cord.

[@gurufoxx]

Oh, oops! Ah well, I can always snip close to the housing if need be ^_^

[@spartanoverwatchgamesandho8593]

@@gurufoxx You can see this in World of Wayne video of the trial starting at 12:40 of the video. Here is the link to video - th-cam.com/video/cmc8lWbEkrs/w-d-xo.html

[@Sonderax]

So the model comes with a slight weathering job done to it like the images show???

[@gurufoxx]

I haven;t seen more of it yet but if it is like the Falcon then yes, it will be pre-coloured and !"pre weathered". But, most likely it will be "meh" level and crying out for a re-paint and weather, which I shall do at the end ^_^

[@Sonderax]

@@gurufoxx Ok. im about to order the 1st part and wanted to know before i do. Will 100% keep watching your series as i wanna see how you weather/paint your version.

[@gurufoxx]

@@Sonderax Cool!

[@TeeKsmodels]

LMAO part 7 ^_^

[@jamiebone3107]

With the subscription do you get a figure of jar jar binks in space marine armour 😁

[@gurufoxx]

Heresy! ha ha

[@jamiebone3107]

@@gurufoxx or would it be a transformer attacking a gunpla

[@redlen08]

I see what you did there lol

[@GrossModels]

‘How we differ”. You mean how I do it, then you show people how to do it properly?

[@gurufoxx]

Ha ha no, I mean I am sure we will come up with different solutions to stuff ^_^ Also I just put the blueprint on my wall and FUCK this thing is going to be massive.
