  • In 2016, Adam took part in Imgur's secret Santa gift exchange, surprising a fan with a custom modded and painted Nerf rifle! For today's One Day Build, Adam shows how he took the Nerf toy apart and put it back together with his functional and aesthetic improvements.

      Man, That just looks so fun to do. I really do want one, but don't have the time to do this with school and pet and babysitting. If you want, I can so pay you to do one. I want to see the Nerf Raptorstrike done in a black with red and yellow stripes.

I would record his show via vhs. Then rewatch, & paint along. Bob ross expanded upon Bill Alexanders method of wet on wet and brush stroke techniques. Simplifying the process. Not paying attn to detail. Adam has expresses his talents using a variety of creations. Apparently, bob ross stated that his son was a better painter than he as he grew up learning from dad. Imagine bob created nerf guns too! Whoa, they shoot rainbows and coniferous needles!

      Symmetry 100% happens in nature as does regularity but you used absolutely terrible examples, the only examples of it really happening are on a very fundamental level with cell structures, physics and the like. Anything we can see with our eyes is completely irregular because they’re under much, much more forces that shape it. Pick any 2 columns of Giant’s Causeway and you’ll find that even though they’re in about the same place under about the same forces that “about” becomes massive after a few millennia to where they become very different structures. Take 2 snowflakes; they’re formed in about the same conditions but the slight variations in air pressure, available moisture, slight change in temperature etc changes their shape, 2 leaves off the very same tree, grow in about the same but slightly different circumstances that changes their structure, size, etc throughout the life of the tree/leaf...

    How to weather like Adam Savage.
    Step 1: Get a 3 years old child.
    Step 2: Give the 3 years old a brush and a copper/brown acrylic paint.
    Step 3: Put the object you want to weather near the child.
    Step 4: Leave the child unattended and watch from afar.
    Step 5: Wait till the child paints on the object.
    Step 6: Rush to the object to clean it before the paint dries.
    Step 7: Inspect the object's weathering. Repeat Step 3 if necessary.
    Step 8: Take the brush and paint from the child if you don't want your living room to be weathered.
    Congratulations! you now have an exact replica of Adam Savage's weathering technique.

    I think Adam is actually a time traveler because at 30:10 when the whole process is sped up the clock in the background doesn't budge. Adam Savage man from the future confirmed?

    • @mitchellhogg4627
      @mitchellhogg4627 Před 7 lety +18

      Yes if they are completely stock...completely overhauled longstrikes go for about $300...nevermind the fact that its been painted and coming with a real scope (which is probably worth $70 alone) and the real bipod (probably another $80), and then there's the hours of work he put into it.

      plus it being made by Adam Savage means he could double the price after all that ;)
      But this was obviously made for a fan, as a project. It's his job to make cool things and make videos about making those things, not selling them.

    I definitely recommend the iFixIt magnetic whiteboard. It lets you put screws on it and then with a marker you can write where they need to go. I know this is 6 years late but in case anybody was wondering, it's a great tool to have handy.

    I had that exact Nerfgun growing up. It didn't shoot far, but it looked damn good. Also that chamber access point wasn't decretive, it jammed a lot, especially on the suction cup bullets.

    After watching this some time ago, I went out and did the Nerf version of Han Solo's DL-44 heavy blaster pistol and it came out pretty good... I like to use the riffled tip darts for extra awesomeness.
    Thanks Adam.
