  • Adam's latest prop build is a replica of Star-Lord's Walkman from Guardians of the Galaxy! This is a styrene scratch build using some of Adam's favorite modelmaking materials and techniques. And a few firsts for a One Day Build--the use of a vinyl cutter for the logos, as well as a minor injury mid-build!

      His Walkman was given to him by his mother who made mixtapes of all the songs she listened to growing up so he could experience them as well, it’s his childhood connection to her. If he wanted a functioning Walkman he’d have been better off buying a real one, not building one.
      The Zune is only relevant because it was intended as a gift from Yondu. It was given during a moment of clarity of who his real dad was, and to replace his conveniently broken Walkman.

To me, most people talk too slowly and aren't economical with time, i can speed them up by 25-50% and it would still be fine, especially if they aren't conveying any information that is too challenging to process. Of course there are opposites, the guy doing biotech and physics science videos at The Thought Emporium, who i wish spoke on average 20% slower, but unfortunately time-stretching audio never works quite as well as time-compressing it.
      And sure, the sound is never entirely natural, but it is more intelligible than for example text-to-speech voice synthesis. You'll just get used to it.

      What we see in the video is a man working, yes, he's having fun and likes what he does, but it's still his job, the only difference between him and someone working in an office or a factory is that Adam got a camera pointed at him.
      He can't justify spending $400 for the working walkman, that doesn't contradict justifying EARNING money by creating a prop, in one case he losses money, in the other case he earns it, so there's no contradiction, he made the obvious and right choice.

He probably took the profit and bought the Walkman anyways, because who wouldn’t want the original Sony Walkman. It’s a rare important historic cultural technology and music piece that will only appreciate in value. He made something from scratch that created both joy, video content, a cool prop, and profit which invested in a collectable becomes a longterm growth financial asset.

    Yet again, another really cool build. I too love working with styrene. There’s just so much you can do with it. By the way, I’m a model builder, and, I use dental tools and materials ALL the time. They’re so handy and durable. I use them for scribing, plaster work, sculpting work, and sanding.
    “Little” cuts like that can be funny. I’ve had some pretty serious cuts on my fingers and even one on the back of my hand between the thumb and forefinger in the meaty area, a few required several stitches and I did just fine. But...... once, I crushed the tip of my pinky between an air ratchet and the front/lower control arm on a car while charging the brakes (my car actually, at work, on my time (Pep Boys)). Funny thing is, it really wasn’t too bad, it did split the tip in an x pattern, but I went straight to the manager to let him know and on the way back to the bay, about 2 maybe 3 minutes after smashing it, I passed smooth out. Needless to, now I always wear a cut glove when carving foam or really hard materials, and never cut towards myself unless I just have no choice.
