Thank you for keeping one of the most beautiful parts of my childhood alive. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and commenting. I guess you are also a child of the Eighties? The first SW films were mind blowing and I think all of us that witnessed these films for the first time remain massive fans and look back at those years with a great deal of nostalgia. Wishing you the very best for the New year and hope you continue to watch my videos. Best regards...Tony
When he brought out the original "Kenner snowspeeder" nostalgic memories came to me , it was good to see it again. Especially in such pristine condition really nice to look at.
Hi and thank you for watching and commenting. I love this ship, probably in my top 3 from the original SW movies. I purchased this in Mint condition but with a highly damaged box about 10 years ago and sent it off for grading. It must have been old shop stock as it had never been out of the box and it achieved a 90 Gold from UK Graders. The value of these old vintage toys has rocketed in the last 5 to 6 years and the cost is now a joke.
I watched the first Star Wars movie in a theater when I was 15 years old. The special effects at the time were amazing, nothing like they are today, obviously. This model is beautifully done! Thank the misses for allowing us into her realm. I'm looking forward to the next installment of the Hetzer build. Cheers!
Hi Michael, yes, like you, I was blown away by the early SW films, but Empire remains my favourite. Back on the Hetzer and videos up soon. Have a great weekend.
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing and congrats to the winner of this amazing piece. That is museum quality right there. I was fortunate enough to get the 1/12 scale Hasbro Black Series Snowspeeder which is also an collectable and an incredible value and when you considered what you got for the MSRP. This 1:6 Snowspeeder is just on whole other level. Again thanks for sharing.
Thank you. This raffle is actually being launched next week. If you are in the UK and follow "nxt win collectables" on FaceBook there will be a notification when it is released. Up close to this model, you can see the attention to detail that the designers have gone into...it is spectacular. I too have the 1/12 scale Black series Snowspeeder. I have not un-boxed it yet as I want to display it correctly...Crazy price for these now and really hard to find. I think I picked mine up on Amazon Black Friday for about £60 a couple of years ago. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I won it and can’t believe how massive it is
@@williepirie5329Congrats! Definitely a centerpiece of any collection.
@@malcolmar gutted it’s to big to display in my flat so having to list it on eBay
@@williepirie5329 I am sorry. Space truly is the biggest enemy for the collector :( In the very least I hope you are able to get good money for it. The reality is, the economy is in pretty bad shape right now and everything helps. Take a lot of pictures of it before you let it go.
You are doing a great job and it is coming beautifully. I'm sure you will enjoy very much building it! Your is very kind 👍👍
Thank you
I had the original kenner snowspeeder when i were a lad in the early 80s. always been my favourite after the millennium falcon, i think i would need to build an extension to display this one...
It is also my favourite, but after the AT ST and the AT AT...'Empire Strikes Back' remains my most favourite SW film as I remember being blown away by the special effects and realism of its time. This is a monster model and someone here in the UK will get a chance to win this as a prize once my sons go live with the draw in May. Thanks for watching and commenting and wishing you the very best for the New year.
You can tell that Tony's wife doesn't like tanks. Tanks are assembled in the garage, the Snowspeeder in the house.😁
You got that right😂
If only I had the room for one !
It is a huge model...but spectacular. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yes, The Empire Strikes Back special effects team in were really struggling with the black matting lines. Going from a white ship on a black starfield to a white ship on a white snowfield.
Yes, that is what I understood as well, but back in 1980 it still looked amazing on the big screen.
@@tonys_workshop Yes, it was pretty amazing. Yoda was the big news at the time. It was quite a change from the hot sleepy afternoon desert feeling of the first film. Empire felt awake and crisp.
And still looks good now...The first appearance of Yoda, the Snowspeeder & the AT AT was a mind blower for a thirteen year old, let alone finding out that Vader was a Daddy🤣
@@tonys_workshop It was an interesting summer alright. A band called Meko did a disco version of the theme and it played nonstop on the local radio stations. Somone had made a fairly decent life-sized paper mâché Yoda which sat in the main window of the big popular record store in the main street. The disappointment of the Star Wars holiday special was washed from our minds. I even think the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy was playing on the radio at night.
Seems so long ago now😀
A truly epic piece of work... I think my partner would have a fit if I brought that home! At this scale I'm surprised there's no seatbelts, are they in the kit or just not done? The 3.75" & 6" variants of the last few years manage to do it, but it would be odd there's none here, ah well. I think I'll go for the 1/6th AT-AT instead. A guy on the RPF who works on a small island of the Thames, boat building, knocks up some absolutely stunning 1/6th Star Wars vehicles. of which most head off to Outpost One in Germany - The Falcon and Slave 1 he built really have to be seen to be believed! Nice prize, I need to take a closer look at NXT-WIN
Wait! a 1/6 scale Falcon??? I gotta see that....going to start googling now. If you are a fan of Star Wars or anything highly collectable, check them out...they give away amazing prizes. Your comment about seatbelts is a great one...I have the 6 inch version of the Snowspeeder and that has seat belts. JazzInc are great but yes there are a few things they didnt get 100% correct...But to their credit they only make a few of these as limited edition so I guess they concentrate on the wider details.
Not sure if it's the same one but I found this one: kzhead.info/sun/pM1mqsaQb2tjpqc/bejne.html@@tonys_workshop
tony when you said im a massive Star Wars fan i hit liked and that subscribed
Hi Steven...yep..I am a massive fan. I have seen all the original films 30+ times over, all of the late '90s films at least 20 times and all of the new films(good and not so good) as well as all of the series, from Mando to Ashoka. My loft is full of my collection from boxed vintage toys up to a Helmet collection with over 40 helmets...yes....I have a problem😂 Been seriously collecting for 20 years. When I am allowed to create my 'Man cave' I will do a video to show my collection. Thanks for watching and subscribing. Hope you like tanks as well😀
Beautiful snow speeder Tony! Your wife is a patient person. 😊
He hasn't told her yet ,didn't you notice he was nicely dressed like a condemned man 😂😂
She is indeed...but, she was out when I unboxed this and then quickly packed away in my sons storage facility....It was a stealth like operation😂
@@tonys_workshop or as its called covering your tracks
🤣
This is phenomenal. 😲 I was literally almost tearing up when you opened it. Knowing this is something I could never afford to add to my collection of toys I still have from 77’ onward to today is a bit depressing though. lol And I’m guessing either I missed how the giveaway works, it’s already done, or I’m out of luck because I’m Canadian. Thanks for sharing this candid up-close look at this beautiful piece! Cheers!
Hi and thank you for watching and commenting. This is an incredible model and yes I too was very emotional when I was handling it. I love this ship and the others which we all saw for the first time in 1980 when this along with the AT AT and Slave 1 first hit the screen. The SW vintage toys are fetching crazy money for what they are. Last year I saw that a vinyl cape 3.75 inch carded Jawa sold for over $30,000 US. To think this was a plastic toy that sold for less than $2 in 1980, it is bonkers! You have not missed the Raffle, but it is currently only going to be available in the UK. My sons are looking into the option of opening it up internationally, but not sure whether it will be in time for when this is released in May this year. If you follow them on facebook, "nxtwincollectables" they will post when this comes up for a prize. Thanks for Tuning in from Canada, one of my most favourite parts of the world. Have you checked out my Tank build videos?
Slick presentation as always! Following your Hetzer build. Really interesting.
Thanks David, much appreciated.
Have you seen the Jazzinc 1/6 scale Falcon cockpit? It has MANY more lights and even has sound effects and movie dialogs, which are controlled by a small handheld remote control unit.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes I have seen that....Great looking model.
Tremendously talented artist
Wow Tony 😮 absolutely Amazing mate 👍 the details are outstanding 😱 great unboxing video 👍 subbed and massive thumbs up 👍 👌
Thanks Tony...much appreciated...I just checked out your channel too and also subscribed..love your weathering techniques.
Tony mate 👍 am hoping to start it back up soon 🙏 had time out because of health issues 🥺 but am fine now 🙏 thanks again mate 👍
Glad to hear you are on the mend mate...
@@tonys_workshop cheers mate 👍
For the amount of money that must have cost, i cant believe you still have to put the decals on....unbelievable.
I agree.. unreal. I'd expect a better paintjob too with more articulation, no excuses really.
Hi Tony, how big it is, but I can't imagine now how big the AT-AT (All Terrain Armored Transport) would be ,I can't wait to see it painted😉
Hi Daniel, Great to hear from you. The wingspan on the Snowspeeder is just over 1000mm. I am not painting this as the factory paint job is already amazing. This will be going up as a prize on my sons raffle site NXTWIN in May next year. If anyone ever did the ATAT it would be incredible, but bigger than a bus🤣
uk bus not european😂😂😂@@tonys_workshop
🤣
OK there is one thing missing from that kit. HIS TAIL GUNNER!
Hi John, You are correct, but if there was a 12 inch version of Dak Ralter available he would be in it. Alas, and to my knowledge there is not a hot toy available for him. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Morning tony God thats massive .a worthy prize for any starwars fan .
Good morning Steve. It is a massive model and spectacular to see up close.
Is so amazing.
Thanks for watching and commenting. It is an incredible model.
Tony bud that is absolutely stunning, what a display piece I'm building the UCS lego one as we speak. I also have the hot toys 1/6 speeder bike and trooper however compared to this it's tiny😂😂 Look forward to the next one
Hi Gary, thank you. Trust me its even better up close. I hope the boys do well with this raffle as it is an amazing and now very hard to find model. I have the 1/6 scale Snowspeeder but it is still in the box. Speak soon mate.
My favourite ship, loved it as a kid
Same...Loved ESB when it was first released...so many great ships from this, to the AT AT, Slave 1. It was mind blowing in 1983....so long ago but still my favourite SW film. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@tonys_workshop us 70’s/80’s kids had the best toy lines.
We did, but at the time I could not afford them and now they are off the scale...where is a Delorean when you need one😂
Awesome unboxing, and its so cool to see the original as well! I can say the 1:6 Jazz Inc model is very cool and is now the center piece of my collection. But, it did require a little more weathering. I actually recorded my entire weathering process on my channel and I think the end result was good, but more importantly, the process was alot of fun! :)
Hi, and thank you for watching and commenting. I actually watched your amazing videos before going ahead and buying this. It was a great help to me and thank you for filming your progress. It was a cancelled order so I was lucky to get one. I agree with all of your comments on your channel about this model. My sons are putting this up as a prize soon and therefore we have left it in its factory condition for the winner to decide what to do. If you like this scale, have you checked out my tank build videos?
@@tonys_workshop Love the prize idea! And thanks for watching my video! :) I just started watching your tank videos and gotta say they’re great. Definitely got a sub from me. Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you and very much appreciated. What is your next project?
The right hand gun’s rear engine looks buckled and flattened. Nothing a hot-air gun and careful manipulation cat fix.
That's beautiful!
It is and even better up close, thanks for watching and commenting.
I’ve seen Empire hundreds of times. I still love it. That’s the toy (model) we really wanted as kids! Lol. Is there an AT-AT as well? Great video!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Also still my favourite SW film out of all of them. No they don't make an AT AT...but can you imagine how big that would be at this scale😀
That looks spectacular
Thanks, it is even better when you see it up close.....If you are in the UK you could win this when my sons put it up as a prize draw raffle on May the 4th next year. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@tonys_workshop by the way, I am loving your channel. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, that means a lot to me.@@RansomeStoddard
i love Star Wars, i dream about collecting figurines and models like this but its to expensive especially when converting my currency to dollars etc. I will continue to day dream lol (and thats why i love Star Wars and diorama's) as it allows you to dream no matter you can collect or not
Hi Richard and thank you for watching and commenting. If you were in the UK, you could enter the draw to win this. I have been collecting Star wars toys for the last 15 years and the price is now so much I can no longer afford to continue.....The last straw for me was when I saw a 3.75inch vinyl cape carded Jawa sell for £30,000 last year!.....Where is a DeLorean Time Machine when you need it🤣 Have you checked out my Tank build videos?
My god wowcher 😊just amazing
Thanks for watching and commenting. It is an incredible model.
That looks ready to perform attack pattern Delta.
It is a truly wonderful thing. Thanks for watching and commenting.
the question remains; is the scale of this epic model actually larger than the original creations as used by Edlund, Dykstra, etc, in the original 77-83 period?
Great question, but I have no idea what the answer is. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Very cool Tony.
Thanks Christopher....back to tank building this week.
Really cool!!!!!😊
Thank you for watching and commenting. It is a thing of beauty.
Cor….what a lot you get !!!
Hi and thank you for watching and commenting. It is an amazing model and even better when you see it for real.
It didn't come with Dakk.... No Gunner huh.... ☀️🐺🌙🐺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓
From the factory, no unfortunately not. It doesn't come with Luke either, he is from my own collection. Thanks for watching and commenting.
And next week a 1/6th scale AT-AT 😂😂😂 nice bit of kit that, somebody is going to be very happy.
😂 Can you imagine...it would bigger than my car!
☑️ SUBSCRIBED!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you and welcome to my humble workshop. Hope you continue to follow.
I think it's funny that the ship was designed for the one scene with the grapple cord😂 absolutely makes NO sense for the rear gunner to have a harpoon in any other setting 😂
Hi Jacob, I could not agree more with you, but hey, it still looked cool😂 Thanks for watching and commenting.
It's definitely an amazing model but I don't think it looks nicked enough weathered etc. I'm sure it needs to be seen in person to validate this.
Hi and thanks for watching & commenting. I like the look of this, but I have seen other owners who improve on the weathering. As this is going up as a prize soon, we left it in its as delivered from factory state.
Makes me wonder what Luke used to steer it with? 🤔
Judging by the lack of steering controls in the cockpit, he must have used 'The Force"😀 Thank you for watching and commenting.
Very cool. But there is no way I would not have it broken within a year....😂
🤣 Yup...me too....not a toy, but super cool model for display. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Where can I by one of those?
Hi Dennis, thank you for watching and commenting. They are now all sold out, but the company is "jazzincdioramas" If you are based in the UK, you can enter the draw on "nxtwincollectables" when it gets launched in April this year.
Hm...No Harness and Control Sticks?🤔
Yep...you are correct and that is disappointing especially when you get that on the 6 inch black series version, but I don't think it detracts from the amazing detail in the cockpit. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It just begs to be weathered!!!
I agree, but we will let the winner of this amazing model make that decision. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Is there a second figure?
No, just Luke. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
How do you win this? And can you enter from Australia?
Hi and thank you for watching and commenting. Unfortunately the competition is a UK based one only. But if you had any relatives here in the UK they could enter for you. Follow nxtwincollectables on Facebook and they will announce when it goes live.
@@tonys_workshop thanks so much… where can I buy one of these? Who makes them
No problem...Google 'jazzincdioramas" They have so much cool stuff in this scale.
@@tonys_workshop yeah found them on FB
Ben told me that you had been in contact. I think they are looking into how they open this comp up for international ticket sales.
Did you FORCE yourself do this❤
Yes, the FORCE is strong in our house😀
🤣
Not allowed Stanley knives in the house?!!! Wtf
Hi and thanks for watching...it was intended as a joke😀 Hope you tune into my tank building videos.
Dakk is missing
I thought that
@@dankryst he ejected
Yep, it saw what was coming😂@@MayumiC-chan9377
Post link to the seller
Check them out at 'jazzincdioramas" Thanks for watching and commenting.
Where’s the AtAt ? 😂
Now that would be amazing, but it would be bigger than a bus🤣
Pass to large
Agreed, but still super cool...thanks for watching and commenting.
👁👁
Was the chatting worth it.
Maybe, maybe not, but thanks for watching and commenting.
Paint looks unfinished ..
I agree somewhat, but they do weather it slightly. I think they like to give the owners the option of adding more paint and weathering and thats why they provide spare decals. Still looks good in it current factory finish. Thanks for watching and commenting.
