This one too. Fanhome seriously needs to get this one too. Im finishing up ECTO with them and I will be looking for another model to start up in about a year. Im a huge Star Wars fan, so I would love love love absolutely love to see them do the M Falcon that DiAg did (obviously a sister company of sorts) So they should do this one too. Moreover, since the bigfig for 3PO isn't available anymore, it would be nice to see FanHome do a 1:2 scale of 3PO too in the same fashion as their Iron Man build.
It's your videos that convinced me to take the plunge and subscribe to the Back to the Future Delorean build this morning! Now, I find you're doing the X-Wing!! Mind has been blown!! LOL
I have no plans on building this one, but like Thunderbird 2, your videos might just wet my appetite. Not that I've got anywhere to put the thing if I do build it. Damn you Wayne!!!!
I´m from Spain and I´m subscribed to this collection and nowadays I have 31 issues ready to start assembling. Just I was waiting for your videos. Thank because now I´m ready to start it. Good Job Wayne.
The flat side of the sprue cutter blades go toward the part, away from the sprue. This gives a nice flat side to the part so little or no sanding is required. Doing it the other way round leaves a mall point from the sprue on the part to be sanded.
Hello Wayne! Excellent introduction for this collection! Here in Brazil im constructing the r2d2. I have all the 100 parts for the millenium but afraid to assemble yet... Cant wait for this amazing x wing collection!
Not sure if anyone else has commented on this but the UK warehouse for deagostini has closed so everything comes from Italy now. Been having issues with back issues running out in the UK and I've now waited since April for them to turn up.
So, we still don't know how large it is ! There was nothing placed beside the blueprint to give us anything to scale against and get a realistic idea of its size.
Before cutting the small parts off, use a strip of masking tape , stick it across one side. Then cut them. This will stop them from flying across the room.
On Step 4, when you push the smaller cannon onto the bigger one, was yours loose? Mine was loose and seemed to needed super glue. I haven't done anything with it, yet. Wanted to ask your advice. Cheers!
The force is definitely strong with you Wayne. .yes its a big model but just imagine if it was even bigger to the scale of your R2D2 then you might need to place it outside your house ☺
Wayne if you need any advance build info you can always check out my channel I’ll have another video out this week, and just a heads up I don’t use video editing.
Hi I would love to get this however I’ve been waiting for over a year and half for the last part for build the spitfire from this company so I’m very gun shy about taking on another subscription and yes I have contacted them repeatedly about it and they Esther say it’s out of stock or will be shipped shortly as I said a great looking kit have a great time with the build
Hi Wayne, I don't get it actually, why is it only available on Deagostini UK website and not on Modelspace UK? Because international subscribers like myself can't get this unless it's on Modelspace UK which does international shipping... I'm happy that you were able to snap this up.
Yeah I sent you a text that I watched your video of the X-Wing Fighter issue 1 is it possible I could get this through you or do you know how I could hook up for it you said it was coming out of Italy so please could you let me know because that would sure be something nice to get to make thank you Bruce from the US just to let you know what country do I live in thank you
Is that supposed to be Red 5? If so, then they messed up the canopy color. It’s a light bluish gray on the studio model. That looks like greenish brown/grey on the screen.
Well, Tamiya paint company out of Japan has dead on spray can colors that will match the main body color, canopy and the mustard yellow stripe. The others are pretty close to. I used their rattle can paint on my 1/72 Red 3 and Blue Leader.
Wayne I subbed to this back in January. Does your vid mean I could potentially be expected a package soon or is the delivery from Italy a work around. I’ve not seen or heard anything of an official UK release as the only response I got was they were waiting for stock.
Lack of weathering is a big disappointment for me. I was really looking forward to not having to go through that faff - I'm too scared to weather - it's a proper skill to get it right :(
R2D2 and the laser cannons will need lots of light blocking. One thing that is disappointing about this build is how many highly detailed parts end up being sealed inside other parts. They will never be seen, ever again, unless you want to leave parts, like the engines, un-assembled. There are some very fiddly parts, inside the engines, that I just left out for this very reason.
Nothing but trouble getting deliverys on time with the MF build. No thanks. Still sitting here unbuilt 2 years later. Having to wait for subscriptions whilst streaming ahead collecting others and taking months to back issues, Ended up In a box.
FAB365 made a 3D printed version th-cam.com/video/6RHvPUiAJUI/w-d-xo.html With how long Deagostini is taking, I could have printed an entire air force squadron of these...
Watching these videos is so bittersweet. I would just love for this to be in the US. I would love to do this model.
I really hope they make this available in the US again. So sad I missed this the first time.
Great build

So the first issue of Build the X-Wing and we go straight back to Build R2-D2. Looks good and glad you have started this.

Great I am so please you are doing this great YT Wayne glad we can do it together lol .......
My wife went let get this 😥😥😥 so I'm gonna have to drool watching your build
I’ve been waiting for you to start the X-Wing...now I can start my build🙂
Awww yeah! Here we go again
For a second in your intro I thought that was you in the cockpit of the X-wing LOL
The flat side of the sprue cutter blades go toward the part, away from the sprue. This gives a nice flat side to the part so little or no sanding is required. Doing it the other way round leaves a mall point from the sprue on the part to be sanded.
Looking forwards to seeing this develop, especially as I cannot afford the model myself. Happy building Wayne.
Hello Wayne! Excellent introduction for this collection! Here in Brazil im constructing the r2d2. I have all the 100 parts for the millenium but afraid to assemble yet... Cant wait for this amazing x wing collection!
That R2 looks about the same size as the old Kenner action figures. If you have any of those, it might be worth doing a size comparison.
I do have one.....but its mint on card lol
Month 1 of the X Wing build has been shipped to me!! YAY!!! Can't wait! I'm in the US, not sure how it's working in other parts.
wow, its gonna be beautiful!
I got my first two issue's from Italy but haven't started building yet, also building the Terminator, great videos !
Not sure if anyone else has commented on this but the UK warehouse for deagostini has closed so everything comes from Italy now. Been having issues with back issues running out in the UK and I've now waited since April for them to turn up.
Yep. I'm now 2 months behind on x wing.
Can't fault the customer service staff as they're very apologetic and extremely informative. Seems the move to Italy is a pain for them too.
Good show wayne i was thinking there was a difference between the test build and this build. Look forward to watching this build 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just got my two first issue,s as i decided to take the plunge and subscribe, Great video,s keep up the good work Wayne.
i'm getting 17/18 of this tomorrow
So, we still don't know how large it is ! There was nothing placed beside the blueprint to give us anything to scale against and get a realistic idea of its size.
Good point.
I think that I'm gonna have to jump on this one.
seeing this blueprint.. I kind of want them to do a R wing from starfox
Before cutting the small parts off, use a strip of masking tape , stick it across one side. Then cut them. This will stop them from flying across the room.
Used the same technique in my latest Bismarck vid
If you haven’t seen star gate SG-1 season 2 episode 21 you’ll love the reference!
On Step 4, when you push the smaller cannon onto the bigger one, was yours loose? Mine was loose and seemed to needed super glue. I haven't done anything with it, yet. Wanted to ask your advice. Cheers!
It was loose but it will hold unless i start wielding it around my head like I did as a kid with my Kenner one :D
We do hope as you do its the Full build , time will tell, what did you do Wayne with the "test " pieces you built last year of the X-wing
I threw them out ages ago
The force is definitely strong with you Wayne. .yes its a big model but just imagine if it was even bigger to the scale of your R2D2 then you might need to place it outside your house ☺
That would be impressive
Does this need weathering or does it look ok as it is (am new to modelling so wouldn't be good painting myself)
I haven't seen the body plates yet but I suspect it will
Wayne if you need any advance build info you can always check out my channel I’ll have another video out this week, and just a heads up I don’t use video editing.
Thanks Brian. I will do that.
I’ve got this but now having problems getting parts stuck up at 75 they blame COVID and brexit I went for premium and got boba fett as well
In Italy we have the full build already availavle on ModelSpace website.
I can give you the link if you want to check it out
That would be great thanks
@@WorldofWayneUK can I use the e-mail you give in this video?
Do you make your own sculpting Tools
No, only my gluing device
Oh yes

Yeay

I'm happy that you were able to snap this up.
I wonder if the UK licence doesn't start till August so to get round it they distribute from Italy which does have a licence.
@@WorldofWayneUK I see.. it may take some time for it to reach Modelspace UK.
Wayne, I'm from Australia. What's "welly"?, we don't use that here. Love ur builds btw. 👍
I'm from Adelaide. We used it all the time there? Give it some "force"
@@WorldofWayneUK OMG really?! U'd never know with ur accent! G'day then, from Bathurst!
What Brand of paint and Brushes you use
Tamiya laquers and Vallejo acrylics . No preference for brushes
did you get the premium version?
Yes
Hi wayne whats the monthly cost work out at? Thanks
Its 9.99 or 10.99 if you take the premium subscription
Yeah I sent you a text that I watched your video of the X-Wing Fighter issue 1 is it possible I could get this through you or do you know how I could hook up for it you said it was coming out of Italy so please could you let me know because that would sure be something nice to get to make thank you Bruce from the US just to let you know what country do I live in thank you
This is already available in the US. Just head on over to www.model-space.com/build-star-wars-x-wing-model.html
Is that supposed to be Red 5? If so, then they messed up the canopy color. It’s a light bluish gray on the studio model. That looks like greenish brown/grey on the screen.
Yep. I do think this is going to need some painting. In fact they make reference to it in the Build guide.
Well, Tamiya paint company out of Japan has dead on spray can colors that will match the main body color, canopy and the mustard yellow stripe. The others are pretty close to. I used their rattle can paint on my 1/72 Red 3 and Blue Leader.
I would like to do this but just don't see how it warrants 100 issues. What would you get by the end, a screw per issue?!
They normally pace them evenly
@@WorldofWayneUK I'm also conscious Ectomobile may come out. I can't afford both and that would be my first choice. Decisions, decisions!
Wayne I subbed to this back in January. Does your vid mean I could potentially be expected a package soon or is the delivery from Italy a work around. I’ve not seen or heard anything of an official UK release as the only response I got was they were waiting for stock.
It us in the official deagostini page. It just not in newsagents at this time.
i may have to cancel bismarck and terminator my interest is becoming an obsession
Lack of weathering is a big disappointment for me. I was really looking forward to not having to go through that faff - I'm too scared to weather - it's a proper skill to get it right :(
what number will the x-wing be up to august 2020
Im guessing about 54
Hows this stack up against the test build?
The R2 unit is a lot more detailed otherwise pretty similar
R2D2 and the laser cannons will need lots of light blocking. One thing that is disappointing about this build is how many highly detailed parts end up being sealed inside other parts. They will never be seen, ever again, unless you want to leave parts, like the engines, un-assembled. There are some very fiddly parts, inside the engines, that I just left out for this very reason.
On the subject of the laser cannon, you will need to light block the inside of the plastic piece that joins the two metal barrels together.
I believe the r2d2 sprue came in a later issue in the trial
not in the one I had. The projector pieces were fixed
Have you unlisted the videos on the trial issues as I can’t find them
Are you doing the premium Wayne?
Yep
@@WorldofWayneUK such a shame that luck is a exclusive and not part of the main build
Nothing but trouble getting deliverys on time with the MF build. No thanks. Still sitting here unbuilt 2 years later. Having to wait for subscriptions whilst streaming ahead collecting others and taking months to back issues, Ended up
In a box.
Is it all plastic?
I have no idea
How many to collect
100
World of Wayne Goodluck
ooooh dear
