Revell Star Wars TIE Interceptor Model Kit | Build & Paint.
hello kids and grown-up kids and on today's video we're going to make the
Revell Thai interceptor 190 scale as you can see there in the picture there
that's the finished model overlaid on to a background image so that's what the
end product will look like just arranging the pieces there that's the
model kit in place so we'll start cutting out the bits and pieces I'm just
reading the instructions there it's a relatively straightforward model to make
and if you can make flat pack furniture then you'll have no problems making this
model and it's relatively simple in comparison so our cutting out the bits
and pieces that's the seat the cockpit seat which is number 13 on the
instructions on all I'll say the numbers as we go through if it's any help to
anybody making this model so there we are we have the cockpit seat there
filing it off and I just I'm just cutting these pieces out in a methodical
fashion so that I don't get things mixed up because I tend to get things mixed up
at times so there's the TIE fighter pilot I'm just so loosely assembling the
pieces there so he's a cool little thing that's amazing how much detail goes into
these models the actual end model ends up being about 4 inches long and there's
the side arms there or the control panel for the seat which is number 12 the TIE
fighter pilot is number 15 so we just kind of followed him down and assembling
them ready to glue later on so I love this tie fire design or tie interceptor
as its called I had one of these toys when I was about
10 or 12 years old I don't know what happened to I think I
gave that way to kids when I got a bit older
might be worth a bit money now I think they were made by Kenner or palitoy
there was like two firms making and maybe they were part of the same firm I
don't know but yeah I like this one as much as I like the original TIE fighter
you know the ones with the flat wings on the side in the original Star Wars films
well they're in pretty much all the Star Wars films except for the prequels of
course so there I am assembling the cockpit we got the exhaust part there so
that's parts 11 14 8 and 22 so you can follow us in your instruction book so
there are just piecing them together so free there's a lot of Star Wars fans out
there on the big star Wars fan on the big science-fiction fan all around stuff
I think science fiction is a bit like heavy metal and rock music what's this
in your veins that's it you're done for life is there forever it's only I wore
it on so there we are assembling the cockpit there and we got pieces 10 7 & 9
it's known as piecing it together I piecing together so I know I'm doing
like later on when we get to glue and paint so there's the the transparent
cockpit top and the window at the front also which I'm not sure if I showed you
that where you can see it there on the cutting board it's just cutting out the
main parts of the body which will house the cockpit of course and we'll fix the
wings on to the size later on so the cockpit numbers are self-explanatory
really but it's number one and number three top of all so if there's any Star
Wars fans out there maybe even have a discussion in the comments below
one of my favorite characters is Boba Fett's I think that's a favorite amongst
quite a few Boba Fett the bounty hunter I also like the new Star Wars films as
well I kind of stand by they've been slated and they've had bad reviews cuz I
really enjoyed them and I really like the Maz Kanata character as a cannot or
cañada I think she's absolutely fantastic so they go to a replacement
I think she's accident and can't wait to see more of her I really like rogue one
as well like the offshoots and wash hands solo a solo story the other day I
thought that was absolutely brilliant I thought the actor did a good job and
he obviously had a hard act to follow with Harrison Ford so there's a transfer
there which goes over the cockpit at the end and you'll see later on our trouble
with the transfers who ended up paying up the cockpit some you know that the
bits that hold the glass in the cockpit frame so there I'm cutting out the wing
panels we've got the wings there also so the wind powers of 20 and 6 and 18 and
16 there is a left and a right hand wing so
it all fits together quite nicely when you fit the wings onto the actual body
the little of the jointer bits match up so you can't go wrong with fitting the
wings the wrong way around so I fit in those parts to the wings so
the wings are numbered 5 and 17 so we get around 2 which is again around just
obviously assembling these ready for gluing shortly so should maker make it
easier I find it best to familiarize yourself with the pieces before gluing
everything together and what we'll do is I glued the cockpits pieces together and
then paint that before we actually assemble the main part of the TIE
fighter what I intercepting so as you probably noticed I put a little model
demonstration at the beginning of the video and it will be on at the end so it
actually took a picture of the tie fire and overlaid it on some animated gifts
bit rough and ruddy were like to pursue that a bit more and hopefully get some
good effects with photography and video filming with backgrounds and effects to
make creations stand out a little bit more I used to love the film's the old
science fiction fantasy films like as a Harry Harry rouse Mouse and what's his
name Harry oh that's pretty bad I forget his name because he's sort of like the
Godfather of special-effects he did the Jason the Argonauts film Sinbad the
sailor and there was a UFO film which is in black and white where he made the
flying saucers I think it's attack off the flying saucers or flying saucers of
Asian I came up with called now but I got on DVD in the house and the effects
are actually amazing for those times you know so nineteen forties fifties and
sixties you know it's law respect for the people that made all those films of
course got CGI now so there we are painting up I still lost myself there
just waffling on and going off on a tangent so I painted up a TIE fighter
pilot and I'm using acrylic paints I'm not using model paints I'm using acrylic
paints and we painted up the TIE fighter pilot with a iron Ross and sorry and a
iron rust color sorry cast iron I can be worse mixed up here sorry about them so
we are assembling the cockpit there are gluing everything in place I mean I
paint you at the inside of the cockpit but once it's finished once you put
everything together you can hardly see anything anything inside anyway so I was
a bit anal there so I decided to do though so if you get your magnifying
glass you can look through the windows and see everything inside I love that
you don't see anyway so paying at the floor of the cockpits silver and a light
gray for most of the inside of the cockpit in little details using a black
wash to kind of give it a worn look and fill in the details and make the detail
stand out a little bit warm so are gluing up the tie fire wings there it's
y-intercept to wings
so yeah so the toy interceptor comes to Return of the Jedi
that's where I was first featured and I saw Return of the Jedi 1983 Yeovil
cinema in summer Sam United Kingdom England and I was 10 years old and I was
so excited to see Return of the Jedi cuz that was the first Star Wars film I saw
in the cinema I'd seen a new hope on video and I think I don't think I saw
the Empire Strikes Back until after I saw returned the Jedi wish is also on
video VHS video over here in the UK VHS is the most popular video I think beats
of Max was the most popular in the USA I might be wrong I thought that was the
case so yeah I got so excited about seeing return of the Jedi I think I
ended up most of the time in the toilet because I was so excited I'm the one to
pee every five minutes but yes fantastic brilliant later on in my adulthood I saw
Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars the remastered versions that was in taunton
cinema I was probably about 20 years ago now so yes I'm 45 46 in March so this is
I think I'm gonna call this series the midlife crisis series so revisiting my
youth and making all of these bits and pieces I said before Boba Fett's my
favorite character so I wouldn't mind making up a Boba Fett suits maybe
sometime in the future or make the helmet at least also like I love the TIE
fighter designs of course a stormtrooper designs but I like the outside driver
and the Empire Strikes Back I thought he looked pretty good
and the biker Scouts of course in Return of the Jedi so now again geeky with all
the character and different names of things so anyway let us know what your
favorite Star Wars character isn't and favorite vehicle fighters spaceships and
so forth so there we already got the cockpit assembled there unpainted with a
wash you didn't see that cuz my battery ran out so I couldn't show what I was
doing there with the painting and assembly we start on the wings or the
TIE fighter so basically black washes and filling in those solid panels with
straight black so there we are painting the panel's there after we've put a wash
of black over those wings so carefully does it of course a professional model
model makers use an airbrush and mask everything I've got a steady hand it's
okay with the paintbrush
it's also yeah there's obviously a lot controversy surrounding the new Star
Wars films after Disney books the franchise from George Lucas I'll be
interested to know or interested to know what people think of it you Star Wars
films I thought they were good I thought they were as good as the Episode four
five and six Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi
without people my age of course have an affinity towards those films the
original films fantastic films was way ahead at that time back in the day the
Star Wars is 1977 I believe the Empire Strikes Back 1980 and return the Jedi
1983 so there we're putting more black wash onto the tie fire body so basically
when we put the black wash down we just put what wash a black over and then just
wipe off with a damp rag so you expose the lights or areas and the darker the
darker bits of paint stay in the details and shove the detail a little bit more
it's a lie to go for a little bit of a worn look on this tie fight sir
I think they're easy to paint as well if you put that worn look in and say for
instance with the solid black panels on the TIE fighter wings if you put a wash
over it tends to make them look more precise if you can have a clean looking
vehicle you need to get those straight edges and details perfect
there we are fumbling about with the TIE fighter body putting the cockpit inside
just relatively straightforward some pins that go and some holes on the
bottom of the cockpit there I'm messing around with the cockpit front window so
glue that into the Bob while I glued it into the bottom first because it sits
inside the cockpit here's some Greaves once that's ready we can put the top
part of the tie fire body on to the top
so there we are so far
so I haven't met anybody from the prequel films that likes Jar Jar Binks
is there anybody out there that likes Jar Jar Binks I'd like to know if
there's any fans of Jar Jar Binks I think he gets a bit of a hard time there
er there's the TIE fighter body assembled just took at the top on there
and there we are so now we're ready for the wings
just touching up the top of the cockpit there with a bit of light gray
and just put a wash of black over the top by the cockpit also there is a bit
exposed glass or plastic and that's up by the cockpit warm zone
inside on another wash to the winds a little bit more depth I may have pain
there's a little bit too dark I expect the hardcore Star Wars buffs will
probably give me a hard time about that all the time interceptor should be
lighter than them
so I'm gluing on the wings
now I'm trying the transfer this is a fail I couldn't I couldn't get this on
to save my life
bloody fiddly thing so I abandoned that idea and like I said before I just
painted the parts that needed painted on that cockpit window so there we are job
complete I also painted the parts there's some little red parts on there
as well which probably don't pick up on the camera I'm not sure sure where
whether it's where the lasers come out or I'm just lights on the time fire so
where there's a finished piece so it's quite pleased with them I'm a done err
fix all these model kits or revel kits for a long time
I did quite a few when I was a kid I did one about five or six years ago of a
Spitfire which was free in a newspaper so that was fun I might do some more now
my midlife crisis is setting in but if you want midlife crisis videos in the
future so they are just showing you the outside fire their various angles
there's a few pictures of the model just superimposed over the top of some images
and just as it is so thank you very much and may the force be with you
