I have been patiently waiting for a part 2 to see what else they do to their ships. I really want to modify mine and have been using this and others as a reference of what to do and what not to do.
Loved seeing how they treated them like actual objects instead of just collectibles concerned about their "value". A refreshing take in this current age. Stay awesome Adam!
Concerned about their "value". A refreshing take in this current age ????? Indeed , in this day and age just buy expensive shit break it and buy another one , the planet will thank you ;)
I'm guessing when you can write things off as work expenses and or are fairly rich it makes things easier - I feel the exact same for what are nice not cheap things.
@@natacus2007 Well if you're needing to get it apart to modify it, sometimes, gently touching it isn't going to get it to come apart. Doesn't matter if you have money or not. Not everything comes apart easy.
@@TravelingStacker absolutely agree! Especially with toys, I know this because my five year old nephew loves to deconstruct his toys he's somewhat of an expert lol
Since you've gone to this much trouble to disassemble the engine pods, you should make your own compressor fans for the front and have them spin with motors. That would be amazing to have them spinning and the rear nozzle lit up.
Can't believe I watched an hour-long video disassembly and lighting project with enthusiasm, and am prepared for the next video already! Always nice to see such passion for this hobby. Bravo, Adam!
Fellow scale modeller here, love to have your videos playing, building along with me as I am at my models. Best company ever, thanks for the channel Adam. Cheers!
$800.00 for the ship, tear it apart, add a few bucks of lights and wiring, brain twisting know how and viola you have a one well 2 of a kind Razor Crest. Incredible, great job and vision you have. I don't possess the imagination and knowledge to do any of that. Truly wonderful to see how you work thru all the snafu's. Awe inspiring video.
I agree with the other viewers "Viewer discretion advised". I can't believe how excited and anxious this video made me feel. These Razor Crests will be fantastic when finished. There was some one on the Facebook Group "We backed the Razor Crest" who catalogued where all the body screws where. The thread started off showing where missing body panels covering the screws were. I think it would be helpful to you when you come to take the hull of the Razor Crest apart. I "think" there are 19 or 20 screws in the body. Each location seems to be numbered.
Ohhh, if I only had the skills to break off parts of a $350 collectible with the confidence of knowing I can put it back together just as good as new, let alone any modifications. You guys are captivating!. Can't WAIT to see the finished result!
I love the fact that you guys are so hype about the Haslab RazorCrest , that we’re getting not one, not two, but possibly 4 videos now, dedicated to you guys having an awesome play day with a very expensive toy. As expensive as it may be, I’d still be putting a wash on it too if I ever get one... Watching Adam customize toys would make for a show I’d watch at least once a week...Thanks fellas. Cant wait for the next installment ☮️
Would love a part 2 of this even just to get a better idea for the lighted panels I've seen some great work with LEDs and fiber optics random dimmer switches would like to know best practices and how Tested tackles this portion of the build.
It looks so brutal how Adam takes it apart but we know for a fact he knows how to fix any damage he makes with confidence. Kind of have to remind yourself he’s a master builder for a reason!
Loving the way the lighting isn't pitch-perfect all the way around, and the editing of the episode was top-notch with little breaks and asides (I almost expected a CSI "YEAAAAAAAAH" when Norm got that part off first try). Can't wait for part 2!
While the idea of spending that much money (and time is money) on a single display piece makes me anxious, this has got to be my favorite episode yet. Watching Adam and Norm just go for it, knowing that things will go wrong, is amazing. Particularly how they so quickly see everything as an opportunity to add more or better ideas. You guys are incredible.
Super cool. Kinda scary to see them just breaking the ships, but I guess Adam has experience building Star Wars ships from before so it should work out. Excited to see more :)
You just know norm’s heart sank when Adam Started going at his crest with the screwdriver 😂😂 I’m defintely a norm, (gentle, bit ocd) sometimes I wish I was more Adam! Great video as always.
Being able to literally tear things apart, and know you can fix it, is great. love what you have done to light these nacelles. I don't mind being able to see through the tail cone. To me, it reads as it is so hot the metal is glowing. Keep up the great mods.
Adam is an inventor, he see something and wants to improve it. Most of people watching this video are collectors. We just have a different mindset and see this things as collectibles. That’s why we are al nervous watching somebody using a power tool on such a collectible piece haha.
I def clenched my teeth a few times watching your disassembly. Absolutely fascinating watching this. I consider myself a creative person but no way I would've taken the Razorcrest apart like that! Thanks for doing it for all of us!
Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished builds! Not going to lie, it hurt a bit to see those pieces get broken but I know you'll both make it even better. Keep up the great content! I appreciate you guys and the passion you have for your craft!
Y'all are Masters at destruction just as you are at Construction the only difference is that destruction goes so much faster than Construction. Does that make sense? Well if it doesn't it does to me. I sure have enjoyed watching you guys play. Y'all have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry and your testers at the ready!
AAA video here folks! These are the type vids I can’t get enough of, great job team! I really appreciate watching the whole process INCLUDING the fu(k-ups which can’t illustrate better what we makers deal with. It would have been easy to edit the mistakes out, but choosing not to makes it more real letting people see what an adventure this can truly be. This makes the end game that much more enticing for me personally. Still waiting for The Evil Dead cabin Adam promised……..in my head. Give us some sugar baby!
Those lights are dope, can't wait to see the completed project. When was watching you install the nacelle lights I had an idea for the exhaust that if you started with the outside ring lights coming on then used a timer to bring on the middle light, ramping up to full brightness over ten seconds or so, it would have the effect of looking like the engine was warming up. You could even add a sound effect.
I actually did a video on taking this apart, and installing some lights. I didnt take off the front portion with the tabs but managed to get landing lights in anyhow. How you broke the rings is what i was afraid of! Glad to see that you guys are doing this as well
John Crum Hahaha... disassembly is sooo traumatising to most people that they cannot celebrate how things fit together and work (my vice)... it's like a mechanic putting an engine back together after a complete overhaul with a selection of nuts, washers and bolts left over.... yet the engine purrs like a kitten!
Spoiler I’m actually pretty stunned that they blew it up…I know in retrospect it makes sense as an end to his bounty hunter life, but it’s still pretty shocking and quick for a beloved iconic ship. The fighter is cool, especially with the metal finish, but it’s no razor crest
I hope Adam sees this. I hope I can help with some of your problems on this. Since you want to keep the engine nacelles modular and that brings up how to transfer power back and forth. I might be able to give you a suggestion. 1) use magnets. I have used magnets to transfer power while keeping things modular. You can use the two “ connection pegs” for the engine to attach to the body. Use one peg as the positive and the 2nd as negative. Place the magnet at the tip of the peg and at the base of the peg hole. The circuit bill disconnect, whenever you pull the engines and we’ll connect whenever the engines are put back on the body. This also will allow you to give each engine, its own power supply, freeing up the body of the ship for other things. You can also use the same technique with the top of the ship that attaches you can put all the LEDs you want in there connect them to magnets and you’re all set. Then add those accompanied magnets to the body of the ship so when you attach the top, the circuit is complete and you can actually use the engine power supply to run it independently. Also, using two different power supplies you answer that problem with different voltages of LEDs.
This was so cool to watch! Especially since I've been going mad lately creating some custom taillights for my project truck using so many different types of leds and diffusing techniques with an end goal of a fully diffused look similar to modern Audi or Porsche SUV's.
I really enjoyed this video! Anxiously awaiting the series. It reminds me of the older Premium videos, such as the blade runner Tomenosuke build, the lego Falcon build, etc. The live streams and show and tells have been really stabilizing over the pandemic, but the longer form videos are fantastic and great to put on while I work!
Having recently been working on older Hasbro STAR WARS ships, I feel your pain (though mine wasn't at the same price-point!). Hasbro knows how to put stuff together, for sure.
I have been patiently waiting for a part 2 to see what else they do to their ships. I really want to modify mine and have been using this and others as a reference of what to do and what not to do.
Loved seeing how they treated them like actual objects instead of just collectibles concerned about their "value". A refreshing take in this current age. Stay awesome Adam!
Well,even if they want improve them ,I think they know it’s value,and being able to repair everything ,it makes them a bit bolder as well.
Concerned about their "value". A refreshing take in this current age ????? Indeed , in this day and age just buy expensive shit break it and buy another one , the planet will thank you ;)
@@TerrabyteX think you missed my point. Your view of the world seems much more toxic. Much love to you my friend.
You can easily do so, if money doesn't matter. Simple as that.
@@TerrabyteX I would argue that the work they put into this would make this an item not one that gets trashed and replaced by another.
I love watching his videos where he modifies stuff but damn, how heavy handed he gets with stuff makes me wince.
Same

@@TravelingStacker true true, and some times going slow will give more damage, instead of if it were done faster with more power.
I love when a Tested video is titled "Part:1". I look forward to seeing hte progression.
😳 I don't think I would ever let Adam play with my toys. He is so brutal in his handling.
Adam Savage at his very best. The enthusiasm and excitement is infectious. Such a role model.
I love the collaborative dynamic between Norm and Adam. Keep up the awesome work Tested et al.!

You guys are seriously out doing yourselves! And watching the two of you work together on it is just a treat! Can't wait to see them finished!!
Loving this. I used to do this when I was a kid, and will again when retired. There SOOOO many new materials now!!!!!

I like the glow of the exhaust through the plastic. it looks like the exhaust is getting hot like a bell nozzle on a rocket.
I agree. I prefer the look of the hot glow seeping through the exhaust nozzle. I wouldn't light block that at all.
Hanging out with a friend, working on models. A pretty good way to spend a day!
43:50 I always look forward to the semi-stifled belch. Thanks for the build mods. I like the Star Wars stuff.

"Adam savage was able to build this in a cave." After turning it to a bunch of scraps. 😅
So amazing guys.
One of my favorites so far 😍 .
Norm really nailed that ending! Looking forward to part 2!
We're all big kids at heart. I love to see all the ideas at work here.
1 hour, 2 razor crests… saving this one for tonight. Gonna be fun!
Super cool.
Kinda scary to see them just breaking the ships, but I guess Adam has experience building Star Wars ships from before so it should work out.
Excited to see more :)
He has a case full of hilts, I think he’ll be okay. 👌🏽
You just know norm’s heart sank when Adam Started going at his crest with the screwdriver 😂😂 I’m defintely a norm, (gentle, bit ocd) sometimes I wish I was more Adam! Great video as always.
Is there a part 2? Would love to see the next part of this project.
Yes me too! This is the best video iv'e seen on the channel!

I love Norm opening and ending of this video.
These long videos are so good, I could watch then twice
Always be knolling shirt is *chefs kiss.
I just got it yesterday in Dallas vintage toys and I was so excited to get home and play within lol… Great video guys

Automotive trim tools would help disassemble some of these plastic models with minimal damage. The iFixit plastic tools would help as well.
I love the look of the light leakage at the back, makes it look like the metal is really hot and heating up under the power of the "rockets"
Those lights are dope, can't wait to see the completed project. When was watching you install the nacelle lights I had an idea for the exhaust that if you started with the outside ring lights coming on then used a timer to bring on the middle light, ramping up to full brightness over ten seconds or so, it would have the effect of looking like the engine was warming up.

10:17 might be the best thing to ever appear in a Tested video
LOVE it when suddenly yelled "R!! It's labelled INSIDE! R!!!!!!!!!!" - truly geekesque.
Diggin' the noire fill music btw, great work!
So much fun!!
This is the way!!!
Just two fellas going at some toys. love to see it
Norm is most definitely an entirely separate legend.
Geek power rocks!
This is the way!
I’m so in for this journey of the Razor Crest. I can’t wait till it’s all done. You both will do a great job.
Soooo glad no impalement went down during this episode....I was waiting for it.
Adam cracks me up. Only in his mind does modifying a $700 toy involve a lathe.
$700????? Yikes.
I loved seeing the toys broken apart! Thats exactly what i did when i was young! Then make it how you want!!
Its all in the details, I do navigation lighting on my Rc Airplanes. Love it, great job !
Norm's joke at the end was great.
I feel like this needs a “Viewer Discretion Advised” banner. The horror of breaking it apart and going at it with cutting tools had me looking away.
Ha!
You should see what kids do to these things!
Thankfully little kids don’t have access to the tools that Adam and Norm has to destroy the toy.
@@terryprideaux kids dont need any tools,they jump on it until its apart,lol
You’re so right! I was physically wincing as they were taking apart the engine nacelles!
great to see you two working together....
So when are we getting part two? It is now over a year ago since part one!!!!!
Lookin' GOOD GUYS!!!! Like you, I can't wait to see how it looks when it's finished!!!! Have a Good Day!
This is an incredible watch and so chill. fave thing ive watched on the channel and i adore this whole channel
I actually did a video on taking this apart, and installing some lights. I didnt take off the front portion with the tabs but managed to get landing lights in anyhow. How you broke the rings is what i was afraid of! Glad to see that you guys are doing this as well
Not gonna lie... That disassembly bit at the beginning was stressful to me. But I know the results will be worth it!
John Crum Hahaha... disassembly is sooo traumatising to most people that they cannot celebrate how things fit together and work (my vice)... it's like a mechanic putting an engine back together after a complete overhaul with a selection of nuts, washers and bolts left over.... yet the engine purrs like a kitten!
Almost had the stop watching when I saw the cowling being shredded to pieces.
@@uberblue6843 Haha, yes! As a toy collector, the thought of breaking anything is anathema. Mostly because I lack the knowhow to make repairs.
Cant wait to see more! I love the naboo fighter, but I miss this ship already!
Spoiler
I’m actually pretty stunned that they blew it up…I know in retrospect it makes sense as an end to his bounty hunter life, but it’s still pretty shocking and quick for a beloved iconic ship. The fighter is cool, especially with the metal finish, but it’s no razor crest

Aw man that was great, so much improvisation and trying things, they're going to look incredible.
The first 20 minutes is more like a One Day Break.;)
Having the light switch in the cockpit would be awesome
PART 2 PLEASE!!!!!!
Oooweee that's stressful to watch! Can't wait for the next part!
I keep flinching everytime Adam jambs that screwdriver while its pointed at his groin.
Norm FTW at the end!
The most amazing people in the whole wide world.
Great to see our crazy scientist and his assistant together on a project again.
This was so cool to watch! Especially since I've been going mad lately creating some custom taillights for my project truck using so many different types of leds and diffusing techniques with an end goal of a fully diffused look similar to modern Audi or Porsche SUV's.
can't wait to see the next part of this build!!!
Well done gentlemen.
Safety is not a priority with Adam. lol Well done,both! Looking forward to the next video.
Wow!!!! Its alot of work!
Amazing, can't wait to see more of these build!
LOL 😁 this soooooooo reminds me of when I was young taking apart my toys 🤗
Great video, I was completely distracted by Adam's awesome bench vice though!
Fascinating! Not something I would ever have thought of doing to my toys...
The teardown reminds me of the intro scene in Naked Gun 2, the part with the lobster
Really gave them the Jawa treatment at the start there! I'm excited to see things progress.
I really enjoyed this video! Anxiously awaiting the series. It reminds me of the older Premium videos, such as the blade runner Tomenosuke build, the lego Falcon build, etc. The live streams and show and tells have been really stabilizing over the pandemic, but the longer form videos are fantastic and great to put on while I work!
If you want flicker , use flicker LEDs, I use multiple ones , the effect is amazing . You can get them at 3mm , possibly smaller .
My inner Child spoke to me...
- "I want it!"
Little bastard.
Such fun to watch thanks guys
Gotta love the Norm
I love subtitles. Machine noise [music][applause]
Having recently been working on older Hasbro STAR WARS ships, I feel your pain (though mine wasn't at the same price-point!). Hasbro knows how to put stuff together, for sure.
Great stuff! Love that Norm was there in the mix as well - finally it's not just Adam working in his cave alone!
Watching Norm and Adam take the engines apart is like trying to break lobster claws!
For a moment it was like watching cave men trying to break lobster claws.
except worse then they're trying to preserve the shell!
Childproof!
