Part One | Revell Star Wars TIE Fighter Model Kit | Build & Paint.
so here we are today with the Revell Star Wars TIE fighter the original TIE
fighter and we're going in this part of the video part 1 we're just going to
construct the TIE fighter and we'll do a little bit of painting also so as we
like pay inside the cockpit and do some a little bit of paint washing on the
cockpit also as you will see in the video so just get everything prepared
we've got some files got a knife craft knife there to cut their pieces a
plastic away from the frame or resin parts or whatever you want to call them
so right so just sussing out where things I regard instructions there I've
got in my hand here also I don't know if anybody gets any better for these videos
maybe I just go stretch the paint job in the future but kind of just stick it up
anyway so anyway we just can't parts party we've got you've got a pilot
course a TIE fighter pilot which is number one the chair and number two and
the base number three and just cleaning out the nozzle there of the glue and a
handy trick if it gets blocked up because it's quite a thin little tube
that comes out of this particular glue thingy and I use a guitar string just to
stick through the hole and that clears out all the glue and it's quite handy
glue gun things a square thin achieve that the glue goes down and so therefore
you just get like little splashes of glue just where you want them on small
models so where are we right it go another part there which is
the tie fire controls and that goes into the front of the cockpit which is number
five and number four we're just fighting off our pieces there there's a transfer
that goes on see the cockpit window I tend to use my find those really hard to
get on because I did a TIE Interceptor if anybody's watching this channel I
stick up the old model video from time to time and I put i intercepted plus
Boba Fett's slave one but the transfer - I'm a bit fiddly in some places
especially on the cockpit because cockpit window does a bit curved of
course so I I will probably paint that in myself and set up in the transfer on
and I'll be in the next part of the video where I scan our pieces together
he just painted the pilots and I've been using I'm not following the paint's are
recommended in the instructions I just use them I got here quite fancy using a
metallic cast iron it just gives a little bit of a metallic look on the
black and you can see I'll just paint the base up there as well just get that
out of the way put that at one side so that's the same color I'm using there
which is the cast iron black which because you get coverage as well so
that's all I give a few coats where we need it in a solid places what I'm doing
now is watering down the paint as it's a an acrylic paint you see there just got
a little tub thingy it was just something microphone and just worn that
down to put some washes on the cockpit so just apply with a paintbrush though
and wipe it away with a cotton wool bud or q-tip just so that the pain kind of
hangs around in the recesses it gives a kind of worn look and it shows up the
details in the model so you be familiar with this technique yes a very common
technique I use a lot of models on this channel
also so we got there the cockpits nearly ready with the washes and we will start
to assemble the cockpit and glue it together ready to put inside the main
TIE fighter body so of course it's best to paint
these parts because they will be housed inside the main so for our body so of
course some things you need see paint if you want to paint it before you assemble
other parts so just clean it together there and there we are
you got the cockpit ready to insert into the main body of the TIE fighter if
you've got to say that some of the parts the makeup the cockpits which you
haven't mentioned is number 6 and number 7
along with number 8 which is the back of the TIE fighter right so now we cut out
the main body of the TIE fighter with our middle section which is 9 and 13 but
before we put the pieces together we've got a piece number 12 and we've got our
transparent pieces which is the the cockpit lid which is transparent and
we've also got the cockpit glass windshield at the front with the lid on
the top of the toe fire there is also a plastic piece which go
there houses the window parts and put that inside one of the parts of the TIE
fighter body which is number 9 I ended up fiddling around with it for ages but
basically you just got hinge on that top lid and you can let move it in and out I
don't know where they bothered but that really good so make
totally like but I still went ahead and did and we start the thruster on the
back I think the videos go quicker than I'm talking here and that was number
eight put it all together with the cockpit windshield number 14 and 11 for
the top I think I said and number 10 for the top on top of the top of the lid so
now we're on to the wings number 16 and 18 for the two wings plus 17 and 19 for
those two attachments that go on to the wings of the tie fire so that's it for
now in this part of the video you can see there there's some other models that
we've done in some other videos they've got a slave one out because I just want
to paint the base of the slave one the same color as the base the Typhon we're
doing so I just got that out just to do that while I was there doing the paint
job and had the paint out look at the times are set to which some of you might
have seen wish we did over a Christmas I think over a year ago now Christmas 2018
a thing there's slave one again so in the next video we'll get everything
together and we'll see paint the wings of the TIE fighter there's another model
there the female mechanical soldier of garage
kit yes so we're just waiting there and in the second part we were paint out the
wings and paint the whole tie fighter and assemble the whole thing and that'll
be the finished piece there's a stray cat she's hungry she wants something to
eat so see in part 2 when we finish off the
TIE fighter so thanks for watching and see you in part 2
