Wow , that's inspirational , just have to think outside the box , or maybe just look in all the corners inside the box !

[Spruslayer]

That is really cool

I like the the use of the weldbond and a brush.

What kind of brush is used and would acetone be the cleaner  for said brush

How to open a hole inside a panel is something new for me

I subscribed the channel

Thanks for the post

Adam Savage's enthusiasm for building stuff is always inspirational. Love watching the techniques he uses, because they're frequently geared towards creating something unique, quickly...he has other detailed projects that have taken years, but it's the hollywood-style "we need it by tomorrow" schedule that seems to produce the best stories.

Some of the techniques in the video were new to me, particularly the soda can/brush system for applying adhesive. I can't help but think that some lung protection would be a good idea with a pool of that glue sitting around and off-gassing like that!

Sometimes when I'm tired of working on finicky model cars, I pull out the hot-glue gun and some spare junk and kludge together some sci-fi models from scratch. The rapid construction means the payoff of weathering and detailing arrives much more quickly and it can be a refreshing modeling experience!

That was cool. He got so excited when he found that part to put in the top. He's awesome, always dig how enthusiastic he is. 

Thanks for posting this up.

Adam is the man. That looks so great. I watch all his vids. The ideas he provides have helped on many of my projects, not just model making. I will be making one of his LED flexi-lights soon. (oh, to have that shop at my disposal!)

I had seen the video just before it was posted here. His projects are fun and educational to watch.

Definitely would lave to have a workshop like his.

[DiscoRover007]

Wow that's amazing. I'd love to do that as a 9-5.

[Richard Bartrop]

It is a nice workshop, but the gist of it is that all you need in an X-acto knife and some sandpaper, and you're in business.

Excellent video. Thanks for posting it.

That's cool. Had watched already. I watch almost all of Adam's one day builds. 

By the thumbnail on youtube I thought with myself: "What a (offensive word that would make snowflakes cry) is Adam building a xerox machine for?"

[peekay]

That was fun!

I have always loved this episode:  2 guys just chatting and building models together.  Some good techniques on weathering, etc by Adam
