Dear Christopher, you can be happy with how this new custom and model work turned out, indeed. Amazing job again. I have searched for clean pictures of the original astrogator and must say that one could not expect a better result at this scale. Bravo!
Looking phenomenal! I am still working on my Falcon build, but watching these and learning so I can apply those skills to my build. Thank you for posting these, you truly an artisan master!
Truly at a loss for words at the level of detail. Like... the little lights on the top of console don't even seem POSSIBLE what you did! lol just... amazing! And after watching 30-40+ of your videos, I think I can finally suggest something!!! Although motorizing the data wheels is great (can't wait to see how you use your new motor skills in the B-wing!), I don't think data wheels like that ever run at the same speed. Because you're using the same sized gear, they do; and all you really need to do is use two slightly different gears to let them run at different speeds. I think that's more eye-catching, too. As you could have just used a motor on ONE wheel and mechanically interlocked them (they'd run at the same speed)... but two DIFFERENT speeds... is an extra trick! And the way you built it actually makes doing that quite simple. Just a suggestion, I bow to the master in this regard. +cheers+ edit to add: You could actually have the motor directly connected to one wheel, and the other would just be a disc with a groove in it-- connect the two with a small rubber band. Depending on the size of disc #2, you can change the speed to whatever you like. :)
Holyshit man excellent job on those Motors are you an engineer by trade are just pure genius. What I like about your work most it's nice and clean you use the right tools to write gears and the effect is spot-on very professional now if you could make food come out of the Galley eating table on the lower deck or makes a motor work that makes the little couches pop out of their compartments in the science lab were Smith stowed away then I would be over-the-moon impressed. So much fun watching you put it all together it's like watching This Old House on leased to Jupiter 2 in in miniature absolutely brilliant work. You are what I call a Master model builder and what do we do before epoxy
@@modelsbychris ,.. hey Chris thanks for texting me right back I appreciate that. man your work is mind-blowing the tiny tiny tiny tiny fiber optic lights on the elevator lift control amazingly perfect you are a perfectionist to the Core. And what really impresses me man is that you're not a little tiny man you got big fake hands and big six fingers but you move gracefully like a sculpture great work. I think it takes an adult fan with skills like you I really appreciate your model making at this time where materials and background material is so readily available. I remember my one wish as a kid back in the sixties and seventies was to have my own Jupiter 2 so over the years I have built about five of them all different scales. wow I just like watching people perfect the art on video like watching This Old House I don't have to do the work , the excitement is I just enjoy watching and learning so much from u by watching your excellent post. When you turn on all the lights including the LEDs in the elevator Lyift ..l squeel in amazmemt and just shake my head and go man that's perfect perfectio!n. Good enough for 1960s camera work.
JUST AN FYI, ANY TIME YOU NEED TO USE A MOTOR ON SOMETHING SMALL, MICRO MOTORS WORK GREAT. YOU CAN FIND THEM ON LINE OR TAKE THEM OUT FROM AN OLD CELL PHONE ITS WHAT MAKES THEM VIRBATE, THEY ALL HAVE ONE. YOU CAN USE A RESISTOR TO SLOW DOWN THE SPEED TO BOTH OR JUST ONE...LOVE IT....!
@@modelsbychris if you look at all the season's 1-3 the Gibson the table top and the fins on the trunk of the astrologer have aluminum trim. In addition look at the raised circular section on the table top just before where the dome rests there is aluminum trim.
@@j1035ak I just found a shot in season 3 where I can see the silver tie taking about. Other shots, it looks like a darker brown. The lighting affects it so much. I may have to try and add the silver trim. We'll see
hi chris I"m wondering the 3D printed millennium falcon hazard light housings at 0:35 min part 6. do you have any more. my friend tim is building the jupiter 2. he love the model. he would like to get 3 of them off you he will pay s&h. or the file to 3D print them. thanks
Thank you for sharing this.. Very nice !!! Especially the spinning tape reels !!

I am always in awe when you are making a model. The details you add are just amazing!
Impeccable detail

Brilliant work, well done.
Look forward to these videos coming out Chris. Some fantastic work.
Great work! Also, great time to have a project like this to help pass the time.

in the next episode he makes a fully autonomous robot that will move about the inside of the ship.
Great work as always.
Excellent work.
Out standing work.

Thank you. Not an engineer. Just going for it by teaching myself from watching videos online and reading forums.

I’ve watched your builds in awe! Great work! I do have a question: where do you get the tiny motors and gears you use? Thanks!
The motors in this build were from Amazon. And the gears as well.
I would love to see y our work on a Master Grade or Perfect Grade gunpla kit. Would be epic.
i like all the details you show on your video, the motor is it a 9v ? and do you take a speed controler ? waiting for the other video, thanks body !
WOW !

Great but you missed aluminum on the fins of the astrologer base and on the top table fins
What season? I was pretty thorough in checking with the episodes. Some of my stuff I added and not actually that way on the show, also.

No, I do not have any of those. But here's where I got them.

@@dannyhardman8090 no problem
What, the astrogator spindle doesn't tilt and move? Fail.
Wish I could've. Well, maybe could've, but not with the lighting in the spindle

Oops. Typo. Fixed. Thanks
