Adam Savage one day build using styrene sheets

[snrkl]

Watched this and it gave me all sorts of crazy vibes of: I MUST TRY THIS ON A ROCKET!!

“Adam goes back to his roots as a spaceship modelmaker in this week's build, using scratch-building and kit-bashing to make a scale model inspired by a piece of art by the legendary Jean "Moebius" Giraud. Along the way, Adam shares many tips for working with styrene to give miniatures detail that really shines on screen.”

And tagging @neil_w as I know he just loves the opportunity for frustrati... (*cough) oops, I mean “rewarding” experiments with new materials... [emoji12]

What's particularly scary about this video is how much of the same stuff is rattling around my workshop.

Thanks for posting that. It was very interesting to watch. What skill he has just basically free wheelin' the whole thing!

Well, don't forget, as he mentions in the video, he used to be a professional movie industry model maker, and he worked on Star wars episodes 1-3. So he's very skilled.

Perfect timing on this. I am working on a rebuild of the Estes MIRV (great concept, extraordinarily underpowered with sustainers of questionable stability.). This stuff may be perfect.
