  • Adam takes us through another spaceship model build, this time utilizing his trusty vacuum former, sheet styrene, and years of experience from his special effects modelmaking days. As the spaceship takes shape, Adam introduces several new tools and tips for this kind of modelmaking, and shows the versatility of this kind of build.

      Thank you so much for this supply list! I'm not a spaceship builder, but the easy of use of the styrene was catching my attention as I use cardboard, paperboard, and a little bit of solid wood to make doll houses and the like, but with the damage to my spine these materials are incredibly difficult to work with. Most days I can't stand the amount of hunching over, making the same cut again and again and again to cut the whole way through making projects take literal ages. The fact that styrene scores and then snaps had me doing a happy dance.

      Totally agreed. Imo, thats how creative minds are born. And creative minds is the one going to push humanity further at a correct direction. It help and let us think on how to develop ideas, concept, techniques or whatever.
      In my country, education are born by making us say A is A. Well, nothing wrong with that. Except that we cannot express our creativity, and develop properly. It limits our imagination.
      Adam way of education is a perfect way of teaching. It will make us think out of the box, be more creative, and the limitless possibilities that we can achieve.

    I love the constant tension in these videos between the idea of "this is simple and approachable and anyone can do it", and the reality of your current shop.

    • @cracklingvoice
      @cracklingvoice Před 5 lety +13

      Great thing about the way Adam works: he'l show you the little tricks and cheap tools that make everything work. A nice vacuform machine goes for ~$1k, but now we know (thanks to Adam) that you can build one yourself using common tools and items that can be acquired from any hardware store. Yeah, you can do things the hard way, but why do that when an inexpensive trip to a beauty supply store will net you the exact thing you need?
      Yeah, he has an awe-inspiring shop. Most of the tools he uses aren't all that fancy, and the really nice tools are highly specialized to make a certain task a little bit easier/faster (like a disc sander). Even his materials aren't often very exotic, most of this video was just using normal styrene sheet and weld glue.

    Thanks Adam. Great video. I've been making spaceship models out of plastic scrap for about 20 years and I've learned a thing or two from you. Printers are a wonderful source for oddly shaped parts. Electronic devices are not only a good source of material but also for LEDs, cables and switches of all kinds. I have never tried a vacuum machine but it is a good challenge for this coming year. The nail files I have used a lot. They are cheap and flexible and give a great touch. Normally with 3/4 types of glue, my set of blades and files and a soldering iron I solve practically everything.
    Any piece of plastic wherever it comes from can be part of a spaceship since imagination is the only limit.

      Then you are missing out on like 80% of the information contained in the show. I admit that I was hooked by Adam, knowing him from Mythbusters and subscribed. Once I did though, I went and watched all the other builds done by other great model builders and I was way more impressed. No offense to Adam, buddy you are awesome and I know you know that lol You don't need me or anyone else to tell you that. If ya do, well I think a therapist might be a good idea. There are at least 4 or 5 other builders and 2 of them are women, which I think is sweet. They show you how to make things from water effects for dioramas, weathering techniques on Gundam models and ships, to large scratch built lights shaped like letters. You are seriously selling yourself short and kinda being trendy if you only subscribe to watch, as you see it, the star of a show. It's cool to get hooked but don't let it stop there. Explore the show. Watch the other vids as I did. Trust me you will learn some cool stuff and there are tons of moments of silence and just building. If that's what you like. Just subscribing to watch only Adam is kinda like taking a beat up old car to a famous hot rod shop, then requiring only the owner of that shop to build it. Not to mention that if you only watch one person build something, you will invariably only learn what that one person knows. Watch multiple builders and you will expand your knowledge base way more than you could just by watching one. All that said, I do love the one day builds and I agree that watching Adam build for 90+ minutes in real time would not be boring. I grew up on Mythbusters and watching Adam build was kinda the whole thing. Not to say Jamie was useless on the show, I should be punched in the face for just typing it, but Adam was more entertaining. Jamie works like I do, in silence. To the people who say Adam needs to have his own show and do more videos, more frequently; can you not see the gold band on his finger?! That means he is married and he most likely has a day job that does not include making videos for tested all day every day. He is only human, so give him a break and learn to enjoy what ya got. Rather than force your will into existence. I really wish the concept of manifest destiny had never been uttered way back when.

    When I was in highschool I was in an engineering class (really just an advanced metals shop class) and my teacher suggested I look at a design/modeling program at one of the local colleges. I was of the mindset that I wanted to be an actual engineer and went down that path, just to change gears a few years later and end up in business and finance. I'm 41 now and think I'd probably be much happier had I followed my shop teacher's guidance. Being in his mid 40s at the time he saw the kind of work I gravitated towards in the shop and had the life experience to know there's more to life than a sizable paycheck. He was the smartest teacher I had (so much of what I leaned from him had applications far beyond that classroom), I just wish I had been smart enough to listen.

She wanted it to be a robot so we added googly eyes, painted it silver, and I used Rainbow yarn for the mane and tail. I put a side access door with a pull tab and velcro retention. I placed bevels on the inside so the door sat flush. It looked like a silver, rainbow haired Trojan Horse. Obviously she had the best box.

He's a true professional when it comes to knowing each material needed for the job, his foresight and preparation in what he's going to build, down to his use of dialect in teaching others his process. Even his rushed, crazy-scientist moments of inspiration give great insight into why he's one of the greats.
