Over the past twenty years, veteren modelmaker Jason Eaton has been building studio scale X-Wing models in the quest to create the perfect replica of the filming miniatures used for Star Wars. From community-sourced kits to scratch-built originals, Jason has iterated his X-Wing builds countless times--each build using new measurements and reference. At WonderFest 2023, Jason brings his latest Red 1 X-Wing build: the pinnacle of his modelmaking journey and the one he's finally happy with!

Thank you for this wonderful interview with Jason. And thank you for coming out to WONDERFEST!

This is the greatest X-Wing model I've ever seen. It's crazy how accurate it it. Jason Eaton is truly a master modelmaker.

This guy can spin a yarn. What a fun video. Thanks, Norm and Tested team!

@EriksPlace Год назад

Man, what a great interview/breakdown. Norm's skill as an interviewer have soared since the old days of tested, and Jason is such a good and excited storyteller.

@IchabodNyx Год назад

Norm: Only says four words during entire interview. Comments: "Norm's interview skills have soared!"

@drunkmike6364 Год назад

Norm keeps his mouth shut! Amazing!

@EriksPlace Год назад

@@IchabodNyx Fair point, using hyperbole to fight hyperbole. But are you trying to be funny or something? Because honestly an interview where an engaging guest speaks at length and doesn't get interrupted once seems to be the mark of a good host to me. Forgive me if it wasn't obvious that I'm not pointing to this video as the hallmark of that. It just struck me how far he's come.

@halfvader8015 Год назад

@@IchabodNyx Nothing bugs me more when interviewers (see morning shows) think they're the stars not the interviewee and constantly interrupt. Jason is articulate, knowledgable and didn't need prompting, so Norm let him go. Speaks to both confidence and professionalism on Norm's part! I know you're being hyperbolic and looking for reactions (so congrats I guess), but yeah that's ridiculous. Erik's right.

It's nice when the modelling community comes together to help each other. Saying that there is a lot of gatekeeping going on

@RapidActionAnimations Год назад

Always nice to see some content on practical effects/models. Such artistry is required especially when scratch building as opposed to using stock kits.

@TheChipMcDonald Год назад

The proportions between the rear of the canopy, relative to the engine nacelles is right on his model, it jumps out - varying airbrush pressures... no out of scale looking canopy "glass" ... right ratio of chipping on the "race stripe"... he wins. Fantastic. I wish this guy would make a little book visually documenting his build and X-wing knowledge (torpedo tube differences)... Write the book!

Jason’s work is awesome

@bernardoguzmanarnao Год назад

Very nice model, although red leader's X wing (Garven Dreis) had a red astromech (an R5 unit, R5 K6). Nonetheless the level of detail and accuracy is great.

@jusdrewit 10 месяцев назад

That is correct, however the ILM studio model had the color astromech as shown here in this video, which is what Jason chose to represent instead.

@armandoolivasvideogallery3742 Год назад

Awesome episode! More Eaton! 🤘🏽

@erickvond6825 Год назад

I sincerely hope you guys are planning to do a video on the rest of the models. The rebel cruiser behind the two of you is pretty epic. That's not even to mention the imperial shuttle...

@beachcomberbob3496 Год назад

If I had a brain model I'd be tempted to adapt it to make the brain module of Hector from 'Saturn 3'. Hector is really underrepresented in the model making community.

Could you guys PLEASE align your B roll with the discussion?!?! Every time you do some model/prop review, the discussion covers some awesome details, that we'd love to learn more about and see the detail they are discussing, but (like the discussing the heat sinks here) the b roll is either skipped, or showing something else entirely. And, sadly, this is the rule w tested, not the exception. Please please PLEASE can you fix these?

Nice Omega Speedmaster Professional that Jason Eaton is wearing. We both wear 'Speedys'.

@@jasoneaton2662 Cool story!! Similar, mine is from 1976, my Dad bought it new when he was in the U.S. Air Force. It flew with him on B-52 missions until he retired in 1992. I later inherited it. Prized heirloom now to me.

@davexbit Год назад

Beautiful model. Streamlined like the original from the movies. Now I know why. The X-Wing always felt like the Lotus Esprit (71 Giugiaro theme) as a fighter.

@KnapfordMaster98 Год назад

Red 5 is now my favorite because of 10:57. That's a steam locomotive boiler backhead on the rear or the ship! I always knew one of the X-wings had that but I never knew which one. I love it lol.

@andrecanis4894 Год назад

The video description says Red 5, but this is actually Red Leader (says so on the plaque too)

@KnapfordMaster98 Год назад

@@andrecanis4894 Gahhh that's what I initially wrote based on what he said, but the description threw me off.

@solarismoon3046 Год назад

They all have that detail. It's from that Harrow train kit. I have an original ILM casting from this part. It's one of the Scott Alexander resin kits. But he worked for ILM through the nineteen nineties. Most of the detail is from battleships, motorcycles, trains, cars, trucks, tanks, and whatever looked cool as far as model parts. This is known as scratch building or kit bashing with other models. The Red 2 model had slightly different parts for the F-4 Phantom engines details. Otherwise these are mostly identical.

@garysprandel1817 Год назад

Oh geeze and I thought I went obsessive digging out the ROTJ issue large Xwing and detailing the cockpit, accurizing the jet fighter pilot figure to an actual Alliance pilot ( lot of sculpting and filling there) " fixing " the landing gear and adding landing lights and fueling nipples as seen in Rogue One. That Xwing is amazing. I will admit to being a bit distracted by the Imp shuttle and that huge azz Tantive IV behind you..

@jeremycatches9766 8 месяцев назад

Red One, right from the movie! it even has the same blast damage that the frames in the movie had before he crashed into the death star. I saw the other day they still have the model but it was changed to Red 3 (Biggs) but it wasn't actually used after they converted it. But it is amazing they still have it and it can be identified by frames in the movie. You guys sure did a good job. hope someday we can buy the files :)

@jaydonbooth4042 Год назад

That intro music you guys have been using is very nostalgic. Takes me back to playing the game Amplitude on the playstation, Cherry Lips, what a banger lol. I'm guessing that tune may have been sampled from a different song though.

@thedarkknight803able Год назад

@arthurlyons335 Год назад

Obviously an exquisite piece. Educate me on why a close faced helmet on the pilot? Was it simply how the ILM gang built the originals? In Light and Magic, Lorne mentioned that the originals were made from wood. Was he referencing master forms that were used to make molds?

@solarismoon3046 Год назад

Those are Hawker Harrier model pilots in 1/32 scale. I too am a member of the modeling forums. We go WAAAYYY back with all the ID process of parts. These were just ICONS models that were recast when I was a member there. Some guy claimed that he had an actual pyro casting but it was never confirmed. The ICONS models were recast from a form that was made based on a scan of the original ILM pyro models. This was slightly widened to make the fuselage the same width as the hero models. But the secret is that there is no secret. The pilots were filled in as the Ralph McQuarrie concept pilots had a face shield. This was in keeping with that concept.

@Games_and_Music Год назад

Not to be "that guy", but i've always been a TIE Fighter kinda guy, especially the mass produced version of them, not the special class ones, they're cool, but i prefer the giant straight hexagonal wing panels and single eye fuselage. The First Order TIEs are pretty cool as well, i like that they made them black. But i have to say, that B'omarr Monk is pretty awesome, never noticed those before in movies, and it's great to have something of yourself inside one of your figures, nice Easter egg. It would be cool to know what your brain looks like exactly (or not), and i do like me some brains in jars, i also liked the City of Lost Children's designs for that reason, or even the movie "The Man with Two Brains".
