Thank you

[@AmbientAcademics]

Thank you very much. I will be building a y-wing from Bandai myself soon and this will help me a lot.

[@bb82870]

Crazy details and modifications. I m speechless. Thanks.

[@MrPhife333]

This is so beautiful, it makes me want to weep for joy. Truly Mr. Olson, your attention to detail makes the world a better place. Thanks for sharing!

I love guitar string addition, I would never have thought of it.

[@Iwan_Cigfran]

Wow, Great work with the sound and light!

[@ianleszczynski6902]

I'm going to try the masking fluid applicator for the paint chipping. Excellent video on this, it's a great reference for everyone!

[@BearCubXXX]

Didn't expect it would have sound! thumbs up!

[@MrBMBuilder]

[@AmbientAcademics]

[@daleyorke]

[@charlierivers631]

Wow, it's definitely an impressive build. I'm a newbie in scale modeling, love details, but sometimes get anxious to see the final product too soon. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated my friend.

I put one of these together but made it Blue Squadron and weathered it a bunch.

WAUWWEE !!!!

[@salc9593]

Hello Christopher, Thank you for posting this video I've found it most informative. I would like to ask where did you purchase the Small Drill Bits you are using. Keep up the great builds and instructional videos.

[@modelsbychris]

Got my bits on Ebay. Lots to choose from. .25mm - 1mm

[@marcosfernandeznanita7150]

Awesome job man, I got the soundboard but now o see you can link the lights with the sound, how you do that man, I'm try to follow you best i can for my speeder

[@modelsbychris]

I created the sound file first and adjusted my LED flashing timing to match my audio. It's not perfect, but pretty close

[@marcosfernandeznanita7150]

Well man, yours turns out real nice, hope I don't ruin mine...

[@tanitatt]

do you have a listing of all the lights and boards you used on this build?

[@owenauer3406]

When you fire a gun in space does the soot setting on the hull or just drift away?

[@modelsbychris]

Good question

[@AmbientAcademics]

What kind of black wash are you using. Black pastel with water or something else.

[@modelsbychris]

I use either Tamiya black or German Gray and mix myself with water.

[@AmbientAcademics]

And the water does not mix with the base paint? Or is the base paint an oil paint.

[@modelsbychris]

The base paint I used is Tamiya rattle can acrylic lacquer, and I do a gloss coat over my paint before applying my wash. But the water has no affect at all.

[@imyerpepper]

Is there a risk of the rust pastels coming off, or do they stick because of the primer?

[@modelsbychris]

I always spray my models with a sealer after, so it's never been an issue

[@imyerpepper]

@@modelsbychris what brand would the best kind be?

[@modelsbychris]

@@imyerpepper I use Tamiya TS-80 clear flat coat on all my models.

[@toddrotolo1329]

Can you tell me where to get the Incredible White Mask from?

[@modelsbychris]

Bought mine on Ebay.

[@toddrotolo1329]

Thanks

[@msimo7007]

Can you share the link to the screen used Y-Wing please?

[@modelsbychris]

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find that link anymore. I had downloaded all of the photos to my personal computer though. I may be able to upload somewhere for use.

[@msimo7007]

Christopher Olson to a Google cloud?

[@modelsbychris]

I'll have to look into something once I'm home in the evening and can upload.

[@jesseatteberry8684]

Hey Chris, amazing build. Did you ever find or come up with a way to share the hi rez studio model pics?

[@davidf2281]

@@jesseatteberry8684 Late to the party here but there are some _incredibly_ hi-res shots of a screen-used Episode IV model here:

Where did you get the photo references

[@modelsbychris]

Books i have, and usually just Google searches for ILM studio Model. But modelermagic.com/?p=85503 has a model reference section of photos people have submitted from exhibits and such of studio models
