1978 Star Wars X-Wing Restoration - Luke Skywalker
Переглядів 2,619,124
3 роки томуAre you a Star Wars fan like me? In this video I restored Luke Skywalker's 1978 X-Wing! This was a really fun restoration project. I used a method called retrobright to bleach the plastic and remove the yellowing. It was really satisfying to bring this one back to life.
Some of the items I used in the video:
50W UV LED Lights: amzn.to/39ZjfE3
Hydrogen Peroxide: amzn.to/37HEn1K
Never Dull Metal Polish: amzn.to/3mJnwzy

Minus the scuffed up canopy, the yellow aging on the plastic made it look like it had come right out of the original movies. I do like the pristine look of the Xwing at the end, but it had more "life" in the beginning. Like with the water damaged Millennium Falcon toy in a different video.

Completely agree. While it is neat to see something over 40 years old resemble how it looked brand new, the modelers of today would have paid for that grime!
@bent.5062 3 роки тому
@@ccgsweaw It's got an audience. People who grew up unboxing this toy probably would jump on a clean one that looks like it did when they were a kid. I'm a bit younger than that, and so I grew up with this stuff being at flea markets and yard sales. To me, and to other people my age, that grime is part of my nostalgia rather than a mar on it. I'd prefer one worked in, but I get why someone who was like 10 when the movie came out would want an X-Wing exactly how they remember it
@caios18 3 роки тому
True, I mean it's a rebel ship. They tend to always look old and outdated. This "restoration" basically amounts to; clean everything out, take out the old paint and stickers, fix the electronics, apply new stickers and be done. No weathering, no new paint job, nothing. Even R2-D2 got a new paint job. It's like the laziest "restoration" ever. It looks good but there is no "soul" to it.

@@paulavram6319 I always do, and I love TP, but Dave always says that he prefers to do restorations and repairs using tools and materials that can be easily found in any house or bought for a quid; that's valiant, but when every single tool/material you use for restoration is professional/expensive, of course you can see the difference. However: the de-yellowing process plays a good part in making the result look great, but as far as I know it only lasts a couple of years, after which the yellow parts will turn yellow again.

Beautifully filmed and really impressive how easy it is to follow even without any narration. Great result too obviously! I have an old X-Wing, but have lost the cockpit canopy and a couple of the laser canons sadly. Wonder if you can 3D print them...?

Interesting question, how good can you 3d print clear materials?

@@JangoAC no idea on the cockpit, I was thinking more for the guns
@steprockmedia 3 роки тому
@@cameralabs Theoretically, yes. It would be really hard to accurately create those in the computer, let alone print to that level of quality. A resin type of printer would be the best bet. Or some kind of casting process instead of 3D printing.
@eswift8318 3 роки тому
Unless you get them done with someone who has a really nice setup, you'll probably notice that the parts are 3d printed. Plus the plastic may not match. But if you know someone with a printer, it's probably a cheap option. You could print the "metal" frame of the canopy and glue in some clear plastic panels. Printing clear, even with resin, isn't going to be clear. I may be wrong. Technology advances so fast. Go to thingiverse and see if someone has already modeled your cannon parts.

@@JangoAC in theory, if you use a resin printer with extremely good resin, you can achieve this

As my wife and I watched this great restore, my 3 year old daughter came into the room asking what was happening. We told her you were fixing it. At the end she shouted "IT'S READY TO FLY!" Great video.

There’s something charming about seeing an old, grimy model of something that’s meant to be all beat up. Yet for the OG Star Wars fans that had these toys as kids, I can only imagine that feeling of nostalgia as the remember when they first opened the box
@deadmetal8692 Рік тому
Nice; I realized that I still remember putting the stickers on my X-Wing when I was a kid.
@CarguyEd5150 3 роки тому
I have to say watching this video was surprisingly satisfying, especially since I had the same model X Wing back in 1978 and it great seeing it restored back to it's former glory. You definitely have some serious craftsmanship there going on there and well done!

Is it me or does that vintage STAR WARS toy look so darn good like when it’s fresh out of the box from the 1970’s when it’s finally restored?

My mom got me one of these awesome toys in 1978 when I was 6 years old. I still remember how cool it was having a star wars toy. I got the Luke x wing pilot version too....did he come with it? Yeah, I lost my wingtip cannons too! They wouldn't stay on for anything. Thanks for sharing your amazing craftsmanship with us!!
@erikliljenwall8185 2 роки тому
Wow, I had that exact X-Wing when I was a kid. The blasters were gray on mine, but otherwise, it's exactly the same. It's amazing to see one like it today. Great job restoring it.
