We check out a truly unique Star Wars studio scale model build: a replica of a hero X-Wing miniature, built using the exact same vintage model kit parts that ILM modelmakers used in their original construction. Chris Benware of the Nerf Herder's Workshop walks through the rare parts he had to source for this project, and explains why this "naked" model won't be painted.
