Lorcan Nagle I'm not a maker but I've just bought a Revell kit again after a long time, and I am thinking about giving it my own touch by adding some weathering to it, not sure about it yet though. It can make models look so amazing if done right, but if not it just looks weird ^^'
That man's passion and the way he clearly loves to talk about his projects is very endearing. Some of these interviews can be a bit cringey but I enjoyed every minute of this one!
@@Aolian Maybe something from WWII like the Helldiver is a better real world equivalent, with the TIE fighter being a Japanese Zero and the X-wing being a Hellcat or Wildcat.
Absolutely marvellous. The y wing is my second favourite ship after the falcon. And I never knew about the origin of the escape pod. A fabulous video. Thanks for sharing.
That is one beautiful paintjob on the Y-Wing. He's right, making the fuselage a darker, metallic colour really sells the of 'technical' areas that should normally be covered up. And I really does remind me of jet engines, amazing work.
I just finished putting together Lego's new UCS Y-Wing at just under 2000 pieces. It is amazing looking at that set and this one here and seeing how much work they put into getting as many of the details as they could into the Lego set. I think it is pretty close to studio scale.
Thanks to Dave Goldbergs drawings im gonna start my scratchbuilt Gold Five -very excited! I dont think even ILM models guys spent that much time on their Y-wings!
I wonder if he's even seen The Clone Wars series, where there are MANY Y-Wings in their original, completed form. Shown on screen flying in Squadrons by the Clone Troopers of the Grand Navy of the Republic. He talks here about Joe Johnston's early statements about the Y-Wing's intended aesthetic, meant to look like many of the body panels had been removed and just left off for easier maintenance. So, he's clearly aware that the history exists, I'm just curious if he knows that history has indeed been shown in Star Wars media since then. Such an iconic design, and it obviously makes for an amazing display model. 👍
You get rust on things in dry desert areas. It takes more time, but the heat makes any moisture that condenses at night caus rusting like what you see on the vaporator.
I got to see the Lucas Collection of the real props in San Fancisco Mosconi Center back in the 2000's! It was an amazing experience. Went 3 days in a row so I could catch as much as I could.
6:31 Oh yeah, you can see it on Luke's face. He's all like: "Oh hey Aunt Beru! Didn't see you there. Yeaaaah just, ugh... checking the moisture evapo- *cough* *cough* - rator. Yeah...uhh...."
The y-wings were in the star wars the clone wars tv series. They had all of the paneling. In the more recent star wars rebels tv show the y-wings were without panels and were in line to be scrapped. The rebels took the y-wings from the empire and put them to good use. Nicely done with all your models.
There should be a retcon of some sort where the Y-wing is literally cobbled together from common components... perhaps the sleek cockpit is from a common racing speeder, while the central T and engines could be the powerplant and business end of some industrial-scale asteroid mining jet flame thing. Would be a nifty Y-wing origin story comic, I imagine.
Incredible stuff. Now, he made me wonder how the Y-Wing would look if the rebels had put all the covering panels and had it look very aerodynamic as Dave said. Edit: Thank you to those who have commented about the Clone Wars Y-Wing! I should have read the comments before adding my own!
there's more, actually. In the crossection books (either the very first one or the first compilation, I'm unsure if it's featured in later crossection compilations) there's an original, first picture of a y-wing with panels on, it looks very similar to the "naked" one and much different from one from Clone Wars. If You google "y-wing crossection" there should be a picture of it, it's in the right down corner of the page.
I love the ingenuity of the props & special effects of those old movies. The limits of technology brought the best out of their imaginations. I've never heard of computer 3D/CGI animators making props from KFC buckets lol
That's just one of the many inconsistencies between the VFX and live action footage in the film. There is a small rectangular window on the original model but it obviously doesn't match/
Its funny how even something as simple as an escape pod is more interesting and magical than any ship in the new trilogy...It just shows how the original will live forever as classic cinema and the Disney ones will be forgotten as hollywood blockbuster trash
Search for "Clone Wars Y-Wing" for lots of pictures of the "fully enclosed" versions. The Rebels TV show has some "in between" models - with more body work than in the theatrical movies, but less than "all." (Presumably as the "work in progress" Y-wings - ones that hadn't needed all of their paneling removed yet.)
I absolutely love the weathering on those models, they look so used and dirty, like they have a real story behind them
I've started using weathering powders on models in the last year or two and it can add so much to a kit or a build.

Ibakon Ferba I totally agree you
I personally am the opposite. I like cars/ships/planes to be highly polished, as if they've rolled off the factory floor completely untouched.
That was one of my problem with the prequels. Everything looked shiny.
I just love the designs of everything in the Original Trilogy, they all felt so functional in the mean time out-worldy and also Iconic
He is an absolute modeling master! The details and weathering are mind blowing.
Instablaster
Been wanting to do a Y-wing just as long.....time has come.
That's amazing craftsmanship
Storytelling through model building, love it, love it, love it! Who could possibly dislike this great presentation?!
That man's passion and the way he clearly loves to talk about his projects is very endearing. Some of these interviews can be a bit cringey but I enjoyed every minute of this one!
I totally LOVE Dave's description of his details and build. Great video.
Always loved the Y Wing, the A10 Warthog of the Rebel forces.
more like an F105
CantankerousDave well said!
@@Aolian Maybe something from WWII like the Helldiver is a better real world equivalent, with the TIE fighter being a Japanese Zero and the X-wing being a Hellcat or Wildcat.
@@Akm72 industrial light and magic said it was a space P38 when interviewed, if we're going ww2
@@Aolian Good point. I had a vague memory of a WWII equivalent being mentioned by them but couldn't remember which one.
Absolutely marvellous. The y wing is my second favourite ship after the falcon. And I never knew about the origin of the escape pod. A fabulous video. Thanks for sharing.
Man, all of these are absolutely stunning, but that BTL-A4 Y-Wing is a showstopper. Damn, she's gorgeous. Love it.
Amazing, as always. As much as I love the Clone-era designs there's something "romantic" about the OT-era
Its called industrial or lived in.
Amazing work wow !!!!!! As a life long star wars fan I am in awe
how adorable is this little Y-Wing. an awesome rendition
Insanely good work on all 3 of these
These are my favorite Tested videos

These things look incredible

That is the best Y-Wing I have ever seen!!! (Better then screen used!)
Beautiful Y Wing 💜
That Y wing is amazing! I'm trying to do something similar with Slave 1 on my channel.
Awesome Y-wing. Hoping to build one...... someday.
Gorgeous models and fantastic paint jobs. :)
These are gorgeous.
The Koensayr BTL-S3 is just an amazingly beautiful starfighter.
Dave si a Genius. Everything he builds is Fabulous!

I love the Sherman tank suspension parts in the escape pod.
Man that Y wing is ..gorgeous!
Now everything's all CG . Great video I love this 👍
Working for Savage must be a great gig! So cool!
You get rust on things in dry desert areas. It takes more time, but the heat makes any moisture that condenses at night caus rusting like what you see on the vaporator.
You can almost tell from the name that the moisture evaporator is exposed to moisture :P
Incredible talent and passion - thanks for sharing

Good job Norm. You're getting better!
The moisture evaporator is really a super bong, just ask Mark Hamill. Lol
6:31 Oh yeah, you can see it on Luke's face. He's all like: "Oh hey Aunt Beru! Didn't see you there. Yeaaaah just, ugh... checking the moisture evapo- *cough* *cough* - rator. Yeah...uhh...."
LMFAO :-)
Y-Wing is my favorite fighter craft! I will pump those out of the factory all day every day! 60% of the time they win the battle everytime!
That's absolutely fantastic work!
That Y-wing is fooking sexy, they also look pretty cool with fuselage too.

amazing stuff, the man is a genius
Beautiful model work, really wiped the mat with these models. He should have a catchphrase, something like "WHAT'S NEXT"! :)
Brilliant y-wing!
Wow these are great
"used shit"
10/10 best video.
The Y-Wing is the absolute best looking ship in Star Wars.
Dave G is the man!
That Y-Wing is frickin boss😲
Wow, just perfect 👍
Damn, some nice replicas
Norman can we please see some fan made replica helmets?
There should be a retcon of some sort where the Y-wing is literally cobbled together from common components... perhaps the sleek cockpit is from a common racing speeder, while the central T and engines could be the powerplant and business end of some industrial-scale asteroid mining jet flame thing. Would be a nifty Y-wing origin story comic, I imagine.
I raise my glass of purple milk to this modeler’s skills.
Now that the new Y-Wings with the covers on have been shown in Star Wars Rebels, he can make the outer panels so they can be attached and detached! :)
Incredible stuff.
Now, he made me wonder how the Y-Wing would look if the rebels had put all the covering panels and had it look very aerodynamic as Dave said.
Edit: Thank you to those who have commented about the Clone Wars Y-Wing! I should have read the comments before adding my own!

I recognize a lot of parts on these. I used to build model tanks and all the gubbins are from Tamiya and Italeri kits.
I love the ingenuity of the props & special effects of those old movies. The limits of technology brought the best out of their imaginations. I've never heard of computer 3D/CGI animators making props from KFC buckets lol
OMG SO PERFECT! YOU'RE A GENIUS! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
If you watch the clone wars you can see what the y wings look like with the paneling
It makes me realize the Clone Wars y-wing was pretty spot-on
I wish these models were being produced on a wider scale. I very much prefer pre-painted model sets.
Absolute unit
I never knew the escape pod had a caution stripe on it.
Awesome!!
Awesome.
that is a sexy Y-Wing I really love Y-Wings its great that Dave loves Y-Wings as well he did a fantastic job.
This guy should be working on the next star wars
wow the whole panel missing topic on Y wing was amazing info, and KFC chicken bucket, origins, great interview
Now THAT is something to be jealous of...
RIP Tiree and Hutch. They were come-from-behind kinda guys.
i spot a ww2 german tank fire extinguisher and a jack. Thats so cool.
too cool dave
You cant be wrong if everything in the model is wrong. I like his logic! Kidding aside, amazing models.
I adore star wars, but I really want to see that Samus helmet in the background
Where's the window on the escape pod (C3PO looks back and comments on damage on blockade runner)?
That's just one of the many inconsistencies between the VFX and live action footage in the film. There is a small rectangular window on the original model but it obviously doesn't match/
Maybe it was a screen rather than a window.
Why did 21 people dislike this video? I find their lack of faith disturbing!
Its funny how even something as simple as an escape pod is more interesting and magical than any ship in the new trilogy...It just shows how the original will live forever as classic cinema and the Disney ones will be forgotten as hollywood blockbuster trash
Is it me or the Y-Wing's livery is the same as the Vanguard Squadron one in Star Wars : Squadrons?
Star Wars porn 😍
Nice.
Vanguard y-wing!
Fun interview but *_what the heck is on Norm's T-shirt!?_*
Amazing model maker.
What was the scene he was talking about at the beginning?
I’m now going to go build a Y Wing in scrap mechanic
Хоть я и русский, ничего не понимающий в английском, всё равно интересно смотреть видео с канала, который создал кумир детства.
Things don't rust in space,. even in Star Wars. The only ships highly weathered are those that enter atmospheric conditions, which is most of them.
Are you really trying to make a point about scientific realism in a Star Wars video? That's so cute.
I'm referring to Star Wars trying to emulate reality. The best scifi does ground itself in reality, this is what helps make it feel real.
Can you purchase any of these?
And of course, I had ti IMMEDIATELY queue up my copy of Star Wars to the escape pod sequence...
How long, in cm, is the Y-Wing? And indeed, any other fighter models...
Chris sonofPear the Y wing is 22 inches so 55 CM
71cm
wait a minute. Y-Wings originally had fuselage on the rest of its bodies? has my whole life been a lie?
See the Clone Wars also, where there's a longer, enclosed version.
It's canon too. Ever seen the Clone Wars animated series? The Y-wings are shown with their coverings there.
Search for "Clone Wars Y-Wing" for lots of pictures of the "fully enclosed" versions. The Rebels TV show has some "in between" models - with more body work than in the theatrical movies, but less than "all."

Yes.
Lucas think a pic of it with its covering is in on of the cross sections book
That dude waving his hands around those models while he was interviewing was making me a nervous wreck
His y-wing is better than the original.
Video is called Y wing model and you only see it talked about in the last five minutes :c
While watching, I think of Simone, how she's doing after the bad news I heard two days ago.
ok, now let´s make a movie
Ya 10k or wait for Bandai to make a perfect grade Y-wing for $350
