Bandai Super Star Destroyer model kit: amzn.to/32sKAfb
Finally someone who paints the engines the right color! I love it!
Glad you like it!
I painted mine pumpkin orange
I thought that too. That orange / red colour.
I use pumpkin orange for my engines
"It's an older kit, Sir, but it checks out..."
Vader’s flag ship was awesome. I was disgusted how that ship died. American battleships were built with emergency steering should the bridge be damaged or destroyed and with a ship as large as the super Star destroyer there is no excuse for not having emergency steering control inside the main hull.
Long Live The Empire
agreed, it was sooo stoopid
It was a ship filled with Nazis.
Tim Collins no Nazis, they were patients, doctors and nurses aboard the super star destroyer mercy hospital ship. I don’t trust a thing those traitorous evil rebels say about the empire that was operating for the people and by the people and at the will of the people under rule of law to benefit all life in the universe with peace, mercy and prosperity.
@@t.adamcollins2162 the Nazis were a particular organisation that was destroyed in 1945 on Earth. They had very specific beliefs.
The people that crewed the fictional Super Destroyer Executor were from a fictional organisation called The Empire. Other than being a fascist regime they have no further sumilarities.
One of the design briefs for the Executor was "no identifiable kit parts" which is why you can't see any.
Sadly I can't find the article I read to confirm this for you.
I know much of the upper superstructure detail was hand-cut styrene sheeting, and that the model cost over $100,000 dollars to build at the time.
Yeah you can certainly see the stacks of sheeting.
Bandai did their homework on this one, and there are a few identifiable kit parts, even at this tiny scale. At about 2:20, you can see, toward the top, a Marder hull flanked by the mudguards from a Churchill tank, at about two-thirds of the way down, a pair of M1 Abrams turrets, and under them, two more Churchill mudguards and the base of a Panther turret (also used on the Millennium Falcon miniatures). I love that Bandai has such an obsessive attention to detail.
Ah cool, good catch. 👍 Yeah I can totally see the Abrams turrets, they're even slightly offset like the real thing.
Oh my god, there is so much freaking detail on that for how tiny it is. Oh my god that is literally mindboggling that they managed to fit so much detail onto such a tiny thing
Yeah Bandai really take it to the next level!
Missed opportunity for a starwars quote in the first 20 seconds lol "It's an older kit sir, but it checks out"
Yes, yes I did.
Your model kit will make a fine addition to my collection
A fine addition indeed
I kinda wished they made the dang thing a bit larger though. Seriously, one of the most iconic vehicles in Star Wars and the difference is a small kit with a "decent" price tag between a humongous LEGO kit that sells for an arm and a leg - nothing in between. I've got a few Star Trek kits and they're even more abundant in every size scale you can find than a SSD from Star Wars. That's my one and only gripe, yet the kit in the video is probably one of the better ones out there that doesn't break your wallet.
Check out the Star Wars Armada SSD, it's a wargaming miniature so it's not 100% accurate, but it's a decent sized model that could easily be repainted.
Fun fact: this is Darth Vader's 2nd flagship called the Executor and was destroyed in RoTJ when an A-Wing went straight through the bridge of the Star Dreadnought and exploded after colliding into the 2nd Death Star.
These Bandai mini-kits are fantastic with their details. I've built this one as well and thoroughly enjoyed all 5 minutes of construction. Nice work as always
It was brief but a fun build!
Man this guy does the best star wars model kits on RUclips
Great model ! Would have been good to have a star destroyer at the same scale included in the set. I guess that's where 3d printers are coming in action...
Thanks! That'd only be a few mm long!
Just purchased the Armada Super Star Destroyer model. I’m going to give it a repaint with the Vallejo colors you used and give the top and underside a blue-gray wash. The engines are painted blue on the model so I want to go over it with a screen accurate orange. Was thinking of using Green Stuff World’s Fluor orange to really give it a glow.
Sounds fun! I've also got the Armada SSD, it's one big model!
@@modelchili You ahould give it a repaint!
I picked up this kit the other day. My paints mainly consist of Tamiya and what I have over of testers. While all the stores now stock the Valejho and AK paints, I’m a little hesitant on investing on a whole new set of colours. So I’m going to match my Tamiya to what you’ve used. Very impressed with all their “mini” kits.
You're kinda like the Bob Ross of model building... I find these videos very relaxing. I used to build, but it has been a very long time since I did my last model. One day, maybe I'll get back into it.
Great build!!! Really like this one. Thanks for putting these videos up!
Thank you!
Your videos are one of the few things keeping me sane right now. Thank you
Awesome to hear! 😃
I will be following your lead and picking up one of these kits shortly. Thanks for sharing. Cant wait to see the Star Destroyer kit.
Nice! Thanks for watching. 👍
Probably my favorite space battleship
Another great vid! Going from an almost 3 meter filming model down to an almost 10 cm model kit, the likelihood of being able to replicate anything from a kitbash used for the original would be (I believe) impossible. Looks like Bandai did a phenomenal job with this kit at this scale. Much better than the giant panel lines on their Death Star. Again, great walk-through and great build!
Thank you! Yeah it really is astonishing what they can achieve in such a small size, I feel like I hardly had to put any work in!
@@modelchili As a fellow Space Battleship Yamato fan, have you put together Bamdai's super small version of the Yamato? I found it a lot of fun, like this seems to be, with only one real issue of how the nose fit. Might be worth a look.
Yeah I have seen those, might take the plunge on one or two. I've still got my 1/1000 Yamato to build!
The power of 3D modelling programs
8:05 - that looks really nice
I've learned so much from watching your channel. Thank you! I'd be interested in learning more about your masking technique as I often have some bleeding when I mask. And how you decide when to use masking vs hand painting.
I use masking when I want a nice clean straight edge, that's pretty much the only reason. They can be long edges or short, but handing painting lines is very difficult!
What a great build, throughout the video I am amazed how much detail Bandai put into it. I’ve just started Model building again after 20 yrs and I’m a huge Star Wars fan so cannot wait to get my first kit to build. Can you recommend a kit for a beginner who doesn’t have an airbrush yet?
Cheers! I'd recommend any of the Bandai small scale ships, they're molded in the base colour and can be enhanced with just a bit of brush painting or a pin wash.
Despite its size this is probably the best Executor model you can get.
It is pretty good!
the reason why people think you needed to add panel lining is if you were trying to make a space ship from a fantasy story, there would be depth and shadows in various panels. if you were trying to simulate a studio model then you be right to not panel line it. two entirely different view points
This is amazingly detailed, I can't even believe it?! I hope I can still buy one of these somewhere.
Thank you!
It's very small but good detailed. Star Wars forever.
This is amazing! You have really inspired me to try my hand at models
Awesome, go for it!
Another brilliant job mate, I've looked around for this kit, only seems available on evil bay.
By the way, I notice that the TS-80 can says don't use on decals, stickers, but from memory this has never caused me problems with decals on my models.
Cheers! Yeah I did a bit of an experiment a few years ago, I sprayed TS-80 straight onto some large decals and it did make them a little bubbly. Maybe not an issue for smaller decals. Might be an idea for a future video.
You can buy one that is twice the size from Amazon.
Agree with your comment about panel lining. It seems like some modelers want to add too much detail.
Absolutely
Bandai certainly divides opinions of people, but I think the attention to detail is very good.
You are to model making, who Bob Ross was to painting. Love your vids
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful job Sam! Such an amazing amount of detail for such a small kit. Without your hands in the frame for reference, I'd have thought it was two or three times the size.
Thanks!
You can buy the complete model, twice the size, from Amazon.
I've got one of these lovely little kits to build. I've actually seen pictures of one that some absolute mad head lighted up (engines) I'm not sure I even dare try at this scale....
I would love to see you do the Macross SDF-1, I think that you would make that ship look fantastic!
I'll look into it. 😎
Concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Quedó bastante bien, seguiré tus consejos
Saludos desde Rancagua, Chile
Thank you!
It’s a great model. I wouldn’t even begrudge Bandai attempting a bigger one at say 18-inches long.
and the rest, say 12 inches to the kilometer. . . .
and fully illuminated
The problem with Super Star Destroyer model kits, either resin garage or official model kits is that they're either too large or too small, i'd love one that's more that 1 foot long but no more that 2 feet.
Great Video! You need to supply the links for the paint as well!
This man has some amazingly steady and accurate hands
Thanks 😁
Fun to watch another lefty brush paint.
I watched this and went out and bought it, fine. But I had no notion of how out of condition, so beginner level, so not ready for how difficult all that is. I hadnt built a model since my late teens maybe early 20 and three decades plus of not doing something like this completely threw me off. I had no idea and no chance. I've had to come back this vid and accepted I ain't gonna be doing any of that, I only bought two colours and even with reading glasses and a magnifying glass I still will never get into those parts. Now I got to admire my man here that's no ot some average hobby man's can just pick up and start all of a sudden.
This looks great. Is there a larger scale of this ship produced? I've searched to no avail.
Thanks! Not to my knowledge. You can get a bigger version in the SW Armada tabletop game line.
Other than tabletop games, you have to build your own super star destroyer.
It's funny -- they really haven't done much merchandise-wise with this ship.
I think they could have made it in a larger scale but given how basically shit the Star Wars merchandise market has gone to because of the Mouse it's understandable any remaining SW licensees are anxious when they put out new product.
You can't blame Bandai for keeping the kits small and not going crazy on cranking out 3-ft long model kits.
If there wasn't a large fan base for the TOS Enterprise, I doubt Polar Lights would be making those 1/350 scale/3ft Enterprises, either...
It's kind of a rough time for ALL the major science fiction franchises which aren't Gundam.
We all know the reason why they're struggling has less to do with age and more to do with how these TV shows and movie series have been managed in the last 7-8 years. The corporations are forgetting they have to produce entertainment for fans and not to use these shows as blatant propaganda.
I think you can buy some resin kits online that will give you a 4ft version but they are really expensive, £400/£500 per kit.
TY people for the replies. For now I stick to this one. Can't afford a resin model.
There are some on Shapeways as well
Thanks for the tips Sam, great work. Love the relaxing music too. Likes from Florida!
Awesome, thank you!
I love your builds!
Just wanted to say I found this kit undoable. The walls @ 3:00
Thanks!
you can literally add a hilt to it and it becomes a dagger
It would be nice if modelchilli made a custom jango fett figure out of the Bandai 1/6 scale boba fett
Brilliant work, definitely got me thinking of picking one up.
Though not keen on that seam line, no reflection on you, just odd given that bandai are normally so good at hiding them
Thanks!
I bought this kit in Japan last year. Had to ditch the box to fit in my luggage. Wish I could have taken a photo of the guys face in customs when I went through Sydney International.
oh noooo!
Thank you for sending me here! Love the video and I am a sub now for sure my man!!
Glad you liked it!
Great looking build and you did a great job on the detail. I'd thinking about picking one up but I'd like to know how long it is when finished.
22.90???!!! WOW i paid like 6 bucks for mine ... GREAT model !!!
You gotta do an ARC Trooper Echo or Fives, and Captain Rex!
Looks great Sam! I've built about 6 of these mini kits and they are always fun to build and paint up.
Cheers! They are quite addicting...
Very enjoyable video. I've always loved the Executor since I first saw her utterly eclipse the Star Destroyers in TESB in the 80's.
I don't think anyone does a larger scale of this ship unfortunately though.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah it's strange there hasn't been many attempts at making a scaled replica. There's been a few plastic versions but not much when it comes to scale models you build from scratch.
Nice kit, good job !
Thanks!
The Tamiya TS-13 Clearcoat doesn't affect the Vallejo acrylics when you spray it over them?
Not at all, just gotta make sure the paint is dry.
@@modelchili Awesome. I'll have to remember that.
Красота то какая! 🤗
Thank you!
I love The Executor!
I'd love to get a model like this!
Gotta love a good Bandai kit. If you're missing Star Wars, I invite fans to enjoy a completely free novel, just Google Legend of the Harp Jedi.
So, the ssd is a huge cursor eh?
Gap filling or not❓Also, what are all the fine lines around the superstructure supposed to be❓
I've been watching for almost a year on,I love the content and keep up the great work!
Thank you, nice to have you around! 😎
You can buy a model of the Executioner that is twice the size from Amazon.
Saw 2 tank turrets on the engine part right off the bat.
Could they make it any smaller? I can't even see the thing that little.
Enjoy the chill videos mate! Keep building.
Thanks, will do!
You should make a 332nd trooper from one of your clone kits
How much would the paints cost?
Could I do this part 4:29 by brush-painting it?
Wish it was bigger... it’s perfect
the greebling on this bad boy....
Man I want bandai to put out a much larger scale version. This one is just too small for the ssd
Another World in the comments. ♥ AWESOME!
Nice one. What compressor you use for airbrush? I need to buy one and that sounded quiet that could be use in block without neighbors are disturbed
Thanks! Just a cheap no brand one, it appears in my model room tour video.
oh it’s a teeny tiny super star destroyer! lol!
As always, a nice job, BUT the hull of this ship is much blue than grey.
It just looks blue in the movie because of the color grading. The miniature it is based on is grey in real life.
@@pho3nix- Dear, I saw this model, and I mean the real one used on the movie, and is not just grey. I'm also know Lorn Peterson from ILM, he sent me a paper with the right color airbrushed on, is much blue/grey than grey.
Relaxing and learning tips thanks🖌🖌🖌🖌😀
My pleasure 😊
You should make an arc trooper
I have two! I want to recreate the Battle of Orinda with them! :D
Nice!
thats amazing detail!
Thanks!
I just checked your channel and subscribed! Great models, could be great for camera projection mapping techniques to simulate the miniature model effect in movies. These models have tons of details. Are there bigger versions of these?
Nice. Can I use the same paints say on a smaller hot wheels Super Star Destroyer? I was able to find an old stock of one from the last triple force Friday so snagged it up while I could :P
On what site can I buy scale models from Bandai? I can't find it anywhere.
There's a link to Amazon at the top of the comments, you can usually find Bandai kits there.
Ooooh yay! its so tiny
She didnt tell me that though😏
You guys are hilarious.
You probably get this a lot, but any interest in doing a Gundam build? I’d love to see custom paint and weathering on one!
Super cool! Now I have my correct references to build mine. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Does Bandai have the Eclipse or the Supremacy? That would be narly
Nice work! 👍😁
Thanks Mr!
una maqueta muy bonita pero demasiado pequeña
When do you think they'll release a 1:35 scale version? :)
Might need a bigger workbench. D:
You gonna move in when it's done!??? I laughed my ass off on that one!!!!
Now if only they’d make this one bigger like the ISD...
Length?
Nice job I ordered 2 for myself
Nice!
Perfect as usual.
Cheers!
Definitely gonna pick up this model :D
Do it!
ModelChili Scale Models ngl I can’t tell if this was a very well placed Emperor Palpatine pun or just you giving a stranger some motivational words! Lmao :D
It's a little of both. 😁
Beautiful
Thanks!
