More of this please, I could watch you and Fon build models all day long especially when they end up looking like this. The Frontier from Starfield just pips it of course but this is my second favourite model from a game that you have built, Homeworld rocks!!
I got my start model making by assembling paper models from the original Homeworld 1 and 2, after school while watching mythbusters. This feels like coming full circle in a way.
You can see that these two spent a lot of time together and that they are true professionals. Although they have two different ways to get the paneling done, they know that they can rely on each other to get it done on time. The builds are super valuable. Watching them I am almost transported back in time. And watching them both at ILM working on a movie prop!
The Vac-U-Form machine was made by Ron Charles & Associates (RC Vac-U-Form) in Wilmette, Illinois (Chicago area), circa 1988 to 1991. I recently inherited the 8 x 11 size machine from my old employer, a St. Louis area professional model shop that just closed. That machine was $450 new in January 1990.
@@liemyip159 Oh I intend to. I used it all the time when I was working, and find uses for it still. I was quite lucky to get it when the old shop closed, as the machine is so hard to find on the used equipment market.
Finally more of my favorite content - Adam building space ships! Its really cool to see the changes 3d printing brings to the process compared to the older ship model builds
I really enjoyed watching this. So fun to see different techniques collide and work together for a final product. Beautiful job gentlemen and lets not forget the videographers and editors, excellent job! Applause for everyone on the team.
This is so inspiring! I did not realize one can use a 3d print base and just add plasticard for paneling! I work at a packaging making plant and I can take scrap home. PVC, PET, PETG, HIPS and others of varying thicknesses. Thank you, Adam and the rest of the Tested crew for showing me a new way to make models!
I love love LOVE that Adam is excited to learn/try salt chipping. I am in total awe of their focus and ease and familiarity with the entire visualization/build/ paint process. The uber-nerd conversation about vinyl masks and friskets was squeeing-flapping-tastic! ILM was my childhood dream job. Today, I just build for me and for fun.
As someone who’s done large 3D models for conventions and a museum under a time-crunch, it’s very humbling (yet enjoyable) to watch two old pros get it done. I’ll echo what others have said, “more of this, please!”
He may be an Engineer, but it's moments like this that prove that Adam Savage is an ARTIST! That's why Math, Science, and The Arts are so vital to have together!
I absolutely and totally agree on all aspects of this. In Sweden, children are actively encouraged to take up the arts at school, especially music. When I was in secondary school (year 7), here in Australia, most schools had music classes, but only a few, like mine, had musical instruments for us to learn. I have always thought that it is a shame that art has always had to take a back seat to Math, Science and English. They should be treated equally from the time a kid enters school until the day they leave.
I am always amazed when you all talk about a technique I have been using for a long time for my WWII models and I just assume you would know it. The Salt weathering has been a staple of WWII and historical models for a long time. I am glad to see you discover something I just assumed you knew.
I am lucky enough to be Facebook friends with Fon. He talks about his ILM work pretty frequently, and it's great to see what he is doing now. I can't wait until the next NDA is up!
Such a fun and informative build. Thank you for taking us on this journey. I remember my buddy in model railroading using the salt technique to weather bridges, and leaving some salt under the rust coat gave such a neat texture that paint alone just wouldn't convey.
It is always a pleasure to watch consumate professionals riffing, no matter the profession. Musicians, comedians, engineers, model builders, athletes; it's all the same level of expertise. Thanks, guys; I enjoyed every minute!
I love the sparse videos when Fon pops up. They are like the golden ticket video between al the other good content. Can’t get enough of this guys energy and has great stories to boot!
Adam and Fon working together is always just so fun to watch. Two veterans, masters of their craft, and who seem to genuinely enjoy working together. Please, more of this. 🙏
This is absolutely my favourite type of tested video. I could watch Adam and Fon making space ships till the cows come home. Also as a messy noob of an airbrush user it was very heart-warming to see Fon, an undisputed master with spilt paint all down his airbrush hand!
This is pure magic - two legends sharing so much passion and institutional knowledge in a build. More of this please - this type of build is so much fun to watch!
I love that you're so passionate about these projects that you get obsessed with the accuracy of tiny details people would likely never notice if you didn't point them out. THAT is commitment to your craft.
I got some of the best advice from Fon about 13 years ago. He told me in a video call about all the different kinds of creative art skills I wanted to do and to make props is to be innovative and a production company! Not just a studio. An listen to what the project is saying to you. Thank you, Fon! You can do the same paint trick with a spray bottle, water drops, sand, and sugar! I found a net trick with fine window screens. Lay a piece over the top of your foam or model paint over it then pull the screen off and it will give a cool 3d effect to your work!
Its so much fun to watch Adam and Fon "nerd out" on these builds. It's weirdly therapuetic to watch two people, who clearly like each other, working on something they are passionate about. Just goes to show, you can make the 13 year old grow old, but you can't always make them grow up. Nice work fellas. Glad to see some of the "old skool kool" for movie model making is still around.
Homeworld designs are like the perfect synthesis of Chris Foss-style coloration and patterning with Star Wars-style functional-feeling mechanical design. Seeing that being built and them gushing about panel notches and putting little details in the gaps is great. I do 3D models and all this stuff makes me go "Yes! I know! These people speak my language!"
Fructose medium hair spray in a spritz bottle sprayed over an area then sprinkle the crushed rock salt on that. The hair spray makes it easier to work with. using water with salt can leach the salt into the paint or form a crust, which can be useful for certain finishes. The hair spray gives a cleaner finish.
I can't believe,the perfectionist in you is able to let go certain mistakes, but I guess if under certain time constraints. There's really no such thing as a perfect model. Keep up the amazing work. I love it .
I’ve 3D printed a negative vaccume forming mold in ABS complete with vent lines, bolt off undercuts, and a tube cooling passage for compressed air to get the extra detail and surface greebles. The porous qualities of FDM make it a fantastic vaccume forming mold process. FYI, don’t use PLA for this, the hot plastic sheet will destroy the mold details almost instantly. Use ABS or PETG to get repeated parts
My now two years ago pre-order collector's edition arrived yesterday and boy did it not disappoint. The Khar-Kushan mother ship model which as internal LEDs is huge, and absolutely gorgeous. I'm framing the lithograph picture that came with it.
Wouldn't it be great to see Fon more often on the channel? I'm here for Adam every time, of course, but I used to enjoy seeing Kayte, Mel, Norm and other makers doing their thing more often as well. It's just fun to see accomplished people like Fon and the Tested team making stuff. Especially spacecraft models 😍
Beautiful build! I have been a model builder all my life. Plastic, slot car, radio control. Vacuum forming for the sections was a fantastic idea. Thanks 🎸🔪
homeworld ships have always been exeptinaly designed from one to three (and the Cataclisum expansion of 1) every single ship is somebody's favorite starship
Great opportunity for Homeworld. They could have spent a few thousands to get that ship made by some other model makers for their giveaway promotion. OR they could spend a bit more to have Tested make a sponsored video and people LOVING to watch it.
Loved the campaign (got early access by a few days due to backing the crowdfunding campaign). Felt very Homeworld. I'm always envious of your workshop and all the cool projects you get to do! But love learning from the projects you get to work on!
I absolutely love watching your model building collaborations. The brain storming parts are great to watch. I love that you both had different approaches, but end up with one consistent product. Still don't have a spray paint booth!!!.....come on Adam. Wet salt to give the effect of scraped paint.....genius.
I can't even explain how cool it was to see these two legends work on a design that is so dear to my heart, from childhood to now. Thank you for making my memories a reality! (Also, HUGE thank you to the editors for ducking that vacu-forming noise and saving our ears, much obliged!)
I once experimented with salt weathering. I was making a diorama of an old man reactivating a barn-find Bren gun carrier. It's good for bottom edges of car bodies, where rust bubbles start.
That was amazing! Two professional gentlemen doing the thing they have perfected over decades. It was like watching one mind! Excellent work gents, I had visions of guys doing this in the 70’s and 80’s for all those awesome movies we love!
37:00 My dad used PFS First Choice v3 which was released for DOS in 1989 as his preferred word processor at his law office until he died in 2010; I get you Fon.
So cool watching two buddies hang out and have fun. It felt like I was in the cave with them except we didn’t get to hear the war stories and banter I’m sure they were having
I so enjoy watching you build models. You and Aaron building BSG models inspired me to build a Cylon Raider, and I've been building ever since. Thanks!
This is a great build! The first Homeworld game was my all time favorite RTS to play back in 2000. I cannot join in on the giveaway due to me being on the other side of the world so I just now ordered the Collectors Edition on Amazon 😁👍
Fantastic work, it's absolutely incredible to see. Thank you for putting so much of your passion and experience into this build, I'm sure the HW3 developers love it!
I love this so much I watched it twice. Having Adam and friends do builds using a new game or movie as an excuse to go pawing through the ILM parts bins while explaining some techniques would be an occasional series I can get behind.
I'm really suprised that with the decades of combined experience building models that you two have, that you've never heard of/or even used the "salt chipping" technique. Armour modelers in particular have been using it for at least 5 years. In any event, that is a great looking model. I love how it turned out. 👍👍👍👍 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Many of the paint manufacturers like Tamiya, Mr Colour and AK have actual chipping fluids to accomplish the same visual.
This was such a fun video to watch. It has a bunch of good techniques in it for people to learn from and use themselves. I also love watching you and Fon together. You two are masters of model making and are like a finally tuned machine working so well together. I would love more videos of you two together but keep it like how it is so it keeps feeling special when you are with Fon. The video gave me such good vibes and made me happy watching it too. Also the model looks great especially with the paint job you two did on it too. Last thing I love is how Fon and Adam show how there were no right or wrong way to do it, just different ones.
