 back to come again TV the only place on YouTube where all geek culture collides I'm Shannon and today on the show this is my first live scream live scream live stream on YouTube and we're gonna be building the USS Defiant in x7 4205 I bought this from Walmart a few days ago and I have been waiting to do this video as I said this is my first live stream back in the day John used to do live streams all the time but this is my first so let me get things figured out here and bring up bring it up on here bring up turn the video off or the audio off got it all right so here we have the USS Defiant this is a model kit is fairly cheap at Walmart I can't remember the exact price right now but it's by polar lights snap it ages 10 and up as you can see there's the box you got Cisco up in the corner there here's the side of the box I've really been getting into Adam Savage is tested here lately I'll usually have it up mainly his live builds while I'm writing one of my books yes I am currently in the process of writing a couple books right now I just finished one book on Jack the Ripper it's going to be published sometime in February and released in June and now I'm working on my second book which is a fictional book that will revolve around some of the legends here in the city it's going to be entitled Tales from Hell's Hollow similar to the short films I used to produce and that's what I'm gonna base this book series off of so let's go ahead and open this up as you can see there's a quote there she may have flaws but she has teeth can't remember who said that in Deep Space Nine it's been a few years since I watched DS9 I'm gonna have to watch it again but I've been super busy with school and writing I just finished I just finished my mowing season I was doing lawn care as a job I own my own business but I discovered that I'm allergic to pretty much everything I was doing allergic to grass weeds tree pollen all that stuff so I had to give it up and now I'm just doing YouTube going to school and writing full-time so here we have the directions and I believe these are the decals for the for the Defiant if you guys like this video I may do more live builds in the future as I said a couple times this is my first time doing a live live video and I'm not used to being on camera live I like to have the option of editing stuff out but here's the base and it's got a little metal piece here which will go ahead and snap together real quick this is gonna I'm hoping hoping this will go well with my two us three USS enterprises up on my shelf big Star Trek fan not as huge a Trekkie as some people are I don't know all the ins and outs of Star Trek and all the lower and all that but I know enough to get by believe that goes like that okay so we'll set that off to the side now let's go ahead and open up these directions all right first things first we need to snap that part together gonna go ahead and open these up it looks like these are just snap on pieces so I don't have to worry about model glue or anything like that which is awesome because this is pretty much the first model I've ever built I never really got into model building growing up kind of wish I did filming on my phone got my laptops in front of me watching the actual feed in front of me so that I can see any comments or whatnot that's so they don't really give a good view of this piece I want to say this is this main portion here but I'm likely wrong but maybe not okay yeah I am wrong it actually number two right here so let's go ahead and take these pieces out exactly this this looks like maybe it goes in after maybe I'm not putting it all the way in all the way together just yet I don't think so there we go looks like it just snaps in right in there front does not go down all the way though all right now we put this piece so we know the top from the bottom because the bottom obviously has the hole in it for the stand thank me goes like this clip that piece off forgot something got these little things looks like they're supposed to go right in here snapped in place got those snapped in they just go right there in there alright alright there we have the main portion of the USS Defiant let's go jailbreak these things as I said I have never really built models before so this is a new experience for me they also had at Walmart the 98 Batmobile model kit just like this my wife was looking at but I wanted to get this one add more ships to my fleet it's right now all I've got is the Enterprise D the Enterprise D Gold Edition excuse me the Enterprise D Gold Edition miniature Hot Wheels version of the Enterprise D which I reviewed on here and the Kelvin you the Kelvinverse Enterprise little Hot Wheels so this will be a nice addition to the fleet and it kind of looks almost like it would match up in size to my bigger ships scale wise it would be about the same scale between them that it is in the shows whenever I was there I debated on a either getting this the Hot Wheels or not the Hot Wheels but the 98 Batmobile or the USS Discovery next time I go I may get the Discovery we'll see I'm really enjoying this season of Discovery it seems more like a Star Trek show as opposed to the previous seasons which were focused more on action this this season has really impressed me it's going back it's going back to the roots of Star Trek which I'm really happy about now if we could just get away from all the lens flares that would be perfect it's got a few more pieces oh boy those are small we'll leave those in for now now I need to put these on I want to make sure they're going in the right direction I guess that's why I probably shouldn't have taken these out until I was ready to put them in because they're numbered aren't they all right oh well does it really make a difference I think that's right yep because this piece goes facing that way and these pieces you can tell where they go because there's a lip here let's go here you know what song I've had stuck in my head since yesterday and I don't know why the Muppet shows theme song and I have not seen that in quite some time which is why I don't know why I have it stuck in my head but I do right now I want to take a minute to tell you guys about a new channel um my buddy Greg who has done multiple videos for this channel uh has a new channel called cool classics he does a lot of history and origins type things about old school tv shows actors stuff like that similar to what we do with comic books and cartoons and whatnot on here uh only his is more focused on classic tv so if you guys are into that kind of thing head on over to his channel it's called cool classics uh you can go to any one of our latest videos on the channel and click the link in the uh at the end screen and it'll take you right to his channel so this goes where these little pieces and I have big fingers doesn't want to go in faces backwards what is going on here there we go that little fingered piece goes here all right so these nacelles oh no they can go on two okay they'll snap in just like that and then we put the uh back ones in bad thing about transparent pieces they always get lost especially when you've got a piece of glass on your table so currently on winter break from school cool getting ready to finish my sophomore year of college in the spring i'll be graduating and i just got accepted to a university here in town which only has a 60 percent acceptance rate so i'm pretty proud of that why would they put plug this in there why would they plug that in there and it looks like there's a couple pieces that attach but see this here shows there's a couple pegs that attach here here that go on to the stand go into here but it also shows that this round piece here goes into that which i am not oh it's optional do not use if using dome base all right we won't use that but that still leaves these two pegs here which i am not seeing i am not seeing those two pegs which i guess it doesn't really need well if i wanted to go in other directions it kind of does because it's got a ball joint on there seem to be missing a couple pieces oh go ahead and attach this is everyone having a good christmas break so far mine hasn't been too bad just got the uh christmas presents wrapped the other day put on the under the tree uh make sure those are the right pieces and they are really really tiny they're not going in the way that it says on the directions see there's a pair of tweezers so that you guys can see what i'm talking about i doubt you could see that but there's three prongs on this side here and one rounded piece on this side and it's saying the rounded side goes in but the hole seems too big for that okay there's another hole inside that's smaller so they sit inside of it all right now we need 108 oh no okay so it'll have to do without that piece so tiny probably won't even miss it okay these are getting on my nerves so the week of christmas cool classics and come again are going to both be putting out wonder woman inspired videos uh the video i'll be doing is going to be on nubia the black wonder woman and the video that cool classics will be doing will be on linda carter uh and then another one on gal Gadot so make sure and tune into our channels for that finally got it on now just missing that piece that i dropped which i don't think i'm ever going to find because of course it's clear so it's going to blend right in with everything but that's okay i forgot to plug in these two little pieces here right here there into there and there but being that lost one piece already well let's give it a try all right i'm not even going to worry about these two tiny clear little pieces they're just going to aggravate me and they're not even really necessary but what gets me is that i'm missing these two joints for the stand these tweezers back uh cold coffee coffee was not meant to be drink cold my wife and i argue about this all the time she likes her coffee cold well i for my coffee hot coffee was not meant to be served cold guess we can plug it in just like that forget the ball joints because i'm not seeing one and it doesn't even show on here but it shows on here so that's don't that's what i'm not understanding maybe you got to buy a separate or something i don't know now for the decals i have never been good at putting on decals trains will need some tweezers let's go ahead and start with the uss defiant sticker if it'll come off that's why i hate decals wanting to uh scrape the paint off the decal i may actually not put all these on simply because they're such a pain in the ass they really got these on here good i can't even get them off of here i'm gonna end up scraping the paint off these decals because they don't want to yeah shame it would have looked really nice with the decals on it but if you can see here trying to remove them scraping the paint off whoever did these really screwed the pooch because they're not coming off yeah it would have looked really nice with the decals but i don't know if i got water slide why would they do that you need water in order to uh take them off which i really don't feel like doing right now right now at least i'll probably save these maybe i'll put them on later but they really should have made these actual decals where you don't need water it would have been a lot easier and they really didn't give much in the way of directions if you can see the directions it's just numbers uh it doesn't say you need water to remove the stickers which is pretty pretty irritating require setting solution but they are compatible with it paint is not required to produce it however some model yeah see it says their water slide right here which i'm guessing means that they require water to remove and place but that that's that's just ridiculous it would have been so much better so much easier if they would have just put regular decals on there but they didn't let's try this glass cleaner spray see if that'll work that just makes it easier to scrape off that kind of uh that kind of irritates me i'm not gonna lie would i recommend this to any other buyers um yeah i mean if you want to see if you can find some other decals that don't require water then yeah um i would i would recommend it it's a very cheap plastic uh it'll look good with your other ships um and if you want to get it try and get away with not even putting the decals on at all but overall i don't know what just fell off what just fell off huh i'm not sure where that where that belongs oh i think it was from down here is that the piece that i was missing no different piece um it's cheap it's not too bad uh it looks okay overall i wouldn't really recommend it simply because these decals suck cut decals apart close to image apply one at a time dip decal into 68 degrees 70 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit water until paper backing loosens moisten area why do that why not just make regular decals yeah that's just that's ridiculous um you shouldn't need water to remove a decal and place it that's that's stupid and it's printed so lightly on the back so yeah it i mean it's easy to construct um but yeah if i would recommend going with some actual decals if you can find them in the right size or print them off whatever but these water slide decals they're crap so i hope you guys enjoyed this video uh also make sure to tune in to cool classics uh the link will be in the description once i stop going live um and yeah take care geeks
