I didn't know that Adam Savage was a modeler... A bit long but, IMHO, worth watching.

:cheers:

Adam Savage has a background as a model maker for films, used to work for IL&M for a while and he does some incredible scratch builds of props for his own collection and for his Coz Play. As far as I remember that is, its a great tutorial on how to do some very nice work although he does have quite a bit of space in which to do his model making.

Sure is big, isn't it? That would be a dream..  :rolleyes: Will watch some more of his stuff. Thanks for the background on Savage, don't know much about him but seems like he's a true artist.

Here's the Industria Mechanika thread on here: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,34790.0/highlight,adam+savage.html where I posted the video link also. They do loads of cool stuff: always worth keeping an eye on them.

Adam Savage does pretty cool videos on tested.com, which get posted to their Youtube channel. Some of them are modelling, some are movie-prop builds and some of them are chat about movie/fandom/maker stuff. I'd bet that a fair percentage of them are of interest to a fair proportion of folk on here.

His "Still Untitled" weekly video blog is always interesting, love the fact he calls his twin son's Thing One and Thing Two  :thumbsup:
